John Graham). Just a sample of what you can expect from the entire mix tape, there’s nothing to do but hear the sounds for yourself.

Giving their distinguished laid back, smooth feel to records, Tensei succeeds in remixing another track with just enough pop to vibe out to.

Opposite of Us…
Another smooth track to add to our play list, out with new beats is “Diverse”, ‘Opposite Of Us Feat Meemee Nelzy Prod By Oddisee’. Exposed to this new music, not making it on his “For All It’s Worth” ep, none the less is a moving track. Touching upon a topic many can relate to; Being presented in life with two different paths for two different beings, knowing the paths can come back together, it may be a struggle, however it can work, if they work and put their past aside. A track about struggle, heart break and rebuilding can hit home with all. Plug the head phones in on a rainy day and let the music flood your brain waves, let it shine light and meaning on your thoughts.
The Kevin McCove Experience, a Gentlemen
All about the Experience, this gentlemen from Newark, Delaware, Kevin McCove delivers “The Kevin McCove Experience”, with each and every production. Stating himself “I would like to describe by music and performances; an experience”
A singer, song writer, choreographer and model, Kevin has a very hands on approach to work or what he likes to describe as “..a way of life..” Showing his creativity and his involvement in his art work, Kevin’s hand on approach works, with his recent release of “Who is this Girl” currently on Itunes shows his depth as an artist and his courage to speak upon topics most artist stray from. Using his classical training, experienced in music theory, ear training, instrumental training and voice pedagogy, “I use classical arrangement in R & B context to deliver a harmonic sound/arrangement unique to music” he explains ever so eloquently demonstrating the man he is, to the man he hopes to become through is music, “There is a person who I want to become that I can look back and be proud of for doing everything I set my mind to, and helping others in the process. That vision helps to keep me dedicated to helping others, doing the right thing, and working to my utmost potential at all times.” not just planning for now, but for the future, Kevin McCove is one step ahead of the game. A L3gaci in the making, just not in the music for the fame, he’s in the music to create a life style truly becoming of his nature.
Following suite in L3GACI fashion, Kevin believes in giving back, “Who Is This Girl“, currently on Itunes and internet retailers is benefiting the Pediactric Cancer Foundation, Pearce Q Foundation, where portions of his sales will go to the foundation, “Writing the check to help children in need I am certain will become the most rewarding moment in my
career thus far“, he states. Taking nothing for granted, giving chances to others that might not have had one, evolving society.
A humble guy, joking around when asked what’s the crazy thing that happened to him on his journey, he expresses that “I’m a pretty reserved guy, I’ve never done anything crazy. haha” He also has very simple advice, “Be business savvy. Never lose your musical integrity. Have fun”. Keeping in his fashion, he won’t tell us everything now… “If I tell you everything now you won’t be surprised later…” However he does leave us with a few words on how he Creates. Inspires. Evolves Society and what he hopes to gain 
“I hope my fans gain appreciation, and I would like there experience with my music to encompass the ambiguity of that statement, On a Journey that I intend to take my fans on as well, I don’t like to put expectation upon my fans, I let them enjoy anticipation. Climax is always better with a build up.” finishing with his L3gaci, “By not being afraid to push boundaries and standing up for the needs of those who can’t stand up for themselves…unifying a L3GACI. I think people can do more to help each other and music is the unifying bond of all people. Every culture, race, gender, and socioeconomic society enjoys music.”•

Catching up with Prosthetik Intelligentz
Over these past few months from our first blurb about Prosthetik Intelligentz, the network flow has only continued to grow.
Frequently filling each others twitter time lines, sending an email about new music or the occasional text to catch up, I have learned more about these men and they have certainly continued to grow. Composed of producer/engineer Bryson “B. Doom” Dumas and Lyricist Ezra “Ezzie B.” Baptiste, not to forget the little green alien, Hip+Hop, taking root in North Carolina however extending their reach to where ever their music will take them.
Currently splitting their time state side and over seas in Africa, they have constantly been reshaping their music and mastering their talents. Producing new tracks and working on collaborations with other groups, their message to spread hip hop is being heard, with their release of “Investment,” the first released track from their joint “Sounds & Wonders EP” project, presented by Prosthetik Intelligentz and GravityMovement, we can only expect more L3GACI style from them. A funny trio and certainly talented took some time to get a little more serious with us and catch us up on their music and let us share it with you. 
since we last talked what are some significant updates in the groups journey?
B. Doom (@doomgotbeats) has really went indoors and completely reconstructed and enhanced the quality of our sound. From the quality of the mix, track construction and mastery, our entire approach has been revamped for the better. We can’t wait to share the fruit of that process with you very soon! Ezzie B. (@mindmissiles) has been working to bolster our overall exposure, message and reach, as well as taking advantage of building opportunities with like-minded artists both near and far from Fayetteville, NC.
the summer time is a big time for groups, any exciting news on performances this summer?
The summer does always bring dope shows huh? 🙂 Well, Prosthetik Intelligentz will be splitting it’s summer between here in the states and abroad; mainly Africa. Our good friend Hip+Hop (@HIPplusHOP) recently decided to go on hiatus to the motherland and producer B. Doom decided to tag along. It’ll be an excellent experience and opportunity for him to both see the world of Africa, and create some safari-inspired sound because of it as well! The duo will continue to record and promote together as well as work towards a few new releases for you all! Hip+Hop will be bouncing back and forth between B. Doom in Africa and Ezzie B. in the US to make sure they are both remaining on task lol! You can chronicle his journey here: “The Marvelous Misadventures Of Hip+Hop”
If you guys could pick any artist to work with, who would it be and why?
man… Picking one artist is kind of hard…. We’ve got ALOT of respect for all of the artists out grinding and trying to make a name for themselves today.. It’d be REALLY hard to narrow it down to one, even TWO names..
B. Doom: I’d dig working with Mr. Quincy Jones himself, along with Bruce Sweiden. JUST so I could see firsthand how the greats do it. I mean, I’ve made studying their sound, techniques and tips a ritual for myself as a producer/engineer, but to actually WATCH them do it… That’d be CRAZY..
Ezzie B.: As far as producers go, I’d like to work with Nottz Raw… He’s from back home in VA, and he’s ILL. I think it’d be amazing just to do a sit-in session with him. Or 9th Wonder even. He’s got a TEAM of All-Stars just right up the road from us in Fayetteville out in Winston-Salem; that camp had been causing ALOT of noise as of late.
Is there any advice you can share with musicians just starting out?
Just that if you feel like making music is something you REALLY want to do, meditate and find the REAL reason why first. Knowing why we do it is JUST as important to us as doing it. Hip-Hop to us is still a culture; our culture. We’re just trying to help preserve it. Knowing why you want to do it is very important.
What has been the bands most memorable moment on the journey?
When we get emails or tweets or voicemails from people that have listened to our stuff, and they wanna tell us how they feel about it.. That’s REALLY rewarding. Just to know people appreciate something we do enough to want to tell us, it’s HUMBLING. NOTHING, not an email, voicemail or tweet goes unappreciated. Those have been the milestones we have along the way to keep us motivated!
If there is one thing you want your listeners to take from your music, what would it be?
Well, there’s two things actually:
1. That we mean what we say in our music. We don’t talk what we don’t live. It’s a little rule of ours. And-
2. We genuinely have lots of fun and gain such a release from doing this, it should be considered unfair. We LOVE making music for you guys and we love it even more when you guys love it!
How has Prosthetik Intelligentz continued to Create, Inspire, Evolve society
Well, we’re always pushing limits and seeking to unearth a little more truth than society normally allows, but we’ll let our next project “The Sounds & Wonders EP” (w/ producer GravityMovement) answer that for us. Coming Soon!
Lastly when can the north east expect a show from you guys?
Ezzie B.: I’m planning a trip for sometime this summer to come show some love to our Northern Allies! I plan on bringing plenty of demo copies, and a whole lotta ruckus and rah-rah, so I hope you guys are ready! Hopefully I can coordinate that trip with a period when Hip+Hop’s in town so he can come with and help me rock the party!
