Get into MBK Entertainment recording vocalist/lyricist, FAME.
The double threat has released not only a ballad entitled “Psycho,” but also a video for his hip-hop song “Coy.”
“Psycho” displays his versatility as a vocalist and vulnerability as an artist, as he sings about having a broken heart.
In “Coy,” we see his harder side of FAME, and a visual of what he loves to do: party, chill with his homies, and spend time with hot girls.
Born Cecilio Joseph, the 20-year-old from East Brooklyn is a hip-hop artist and soul vocalist.
Showcasing both rap and vocal talents, FAME pushes the bar to new heights while throwing down a gauntlet in the hybrid rapper-singer scene now taking center stage in urban music’s collective consciousness.
FAME is enthused with his career so far, saying “I’m glad the response to what I do has been so positive for the most part. I’m definitely influenced by the golden era of hip hop and conscience lyrics. At the same time I gravitate towards more musical elements with an energetic rawness…then again, sometimes you just gotta spit the dirty truth.”
What makes FAME’s music stand out, besides the catchy parallel metaphors, rhyme schemes and twisted resolutions, is the fun he effortlessly infuses into his tunes.
FAME is highly influenced by the clear annunciation of Jay-Z, Biggie, Fabolous, and R. Kelly. He also gets his style from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sublime, and retro-’80s sounds.
With a Kanye West type injury holding him back at an earlier age, FAME had a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time and it resulted in injuries that included a wired-shut jaw.
This led to a stockpile of emotion and words amassed inside his mind. He said:
“It was then, without being able to talk to anyone that I became depressed, like after 2 months. The inspiration and ideas for my own songs began to build-up inside me like a reservoir. When I got my jaw back, and was finally able to speak, I didn’t take my privilege to communicate with my voice for granted. I worked hard and not just in choir practice, or at rap battles, but to seek the best quality of music to wrap my words around… it takes an incredible amount of hustle and patience to find the highest quality of music collaboration. When I sometimes couldn’t find the sound I was looking for, I made up my own.”
