Back 2 Basics

Mark Joseph, a Minneapolis based American-Soul Rock musician, and Deploi, a Los Angeles based Hip-Hop Lyricist, have joined forces to bring you a new acoustic EP, Back 2 Basics. These two artists have spent the last 12 years creating music and touring together. Back 2 Basics is a from-the-heart, guitar-driven, acoustic hip-hop soul-food album, which pushes the duo lyrically, giving it a raw, unapologetic feel. It is a Feel Good conscience non-fiction journey into the reality of everyones fight for Life. The album is acoustic hip-hop rooted in intense musical kinship with lyrics that chronicle a modern musical voyage. This long-awaited release is expertly colored with the energy that makes cross-genre collaborations exciting, and the artistic vision to take listeners to a place outside themselves. Mark Joseph & Deploi represent musical duality that can only evolve out of years of extensive touring, recording, and genuine musical connectivity. Back 2 Basics is exactly what fans have believed should exist, have known must exist, and now thankfully know as a reality. This album speaks truth in a "wasted World War that doesn't shine Light".
