Together, they make retro futuristic comic book hip hop; the soundtrack for your next dance-off & the preamble to your next good times coup. When they're not hijacking your brain piece, Static travels the country jumping onto and flying off of buildings as a Hollywood stunt double; while Big practices mind control techniques over a pack of designer breed dogs. Separately, these two heroes are a force to be reckoned with but together, they are two ingredients in a recipe for world domination. KID STATIC Producing and emceeing since childhood, native South Side Chicagoan Kid Static started off at the green age of 12, making frenetic & glitchy chiptunes. Years later, he gained local recognition as the front man for the defunct instrumental hip-hop group, The Cankles, whose much lauded Goddamn!! dropped in 2005 along with Static’s privately issued solo debut Have You Seen This Man? Stunt Double by trade, Static is also an avid enthusiast of that mad French urban import parkour. No doubt, these on and off screen antics contribute heavily to Static’s sci fi, action obsessed narrative wordplay. YEA BIG Yea Big (Stefen Robinson) is a detail obsessed mad scientist of the mix reared on Ravi Shankar, bluegrass & Motown. He released his first full length CD, The Wind That Blows The Robot's Arms, in 2006 on Chicago’s Jib Door label to much confusion and praise. One dude called The Wind "an ADD trip through instrumental spaz-hop”. Yea Big has done remixes for Minneapolis avant-hip hop outfit Kill The Vultures, the 12 Apostles label, Illegal Art, and continues to produce tour only mash-up and remix ep's, the first two of which feature The Mae-Shi and Rapider Than Horsepower. THE UNION In fall 2005, Yea Big took a beating on one of Chicago’s largest hip hop message boards for reasons no one really remembers too well these days. Static watched as the crossfire obliterated this unheard of deejay and, after checking out some of his music online, invited Yea Big to collaborate with him. Drawn to Big’s atom splitting beats, Static says, “he’s doing the music I always heard in my head”. For his part, Yea Big, was mesmerized with Static’s presence. ““His voice has an energy & grit. His phrasing, texture & flow did it for me.” THE PRESENT Over the last two years of collaborating together, Static & Big have played for Michigan meth farmers, cape cod yacht rockers, snacked on cheesesteaks behind the backs of Philly vegans and played grabass and smacked hi fives with each and every one of them. Because in the world of high misadventure of Kid Static & Yea Big, the odd man out is always in. “My friend Chris hates this and describes this as ‘what death sounds like,’ so I won’t guarantee that any one person will swing on it. And yet, I wish everyone could hear it.” - Flagpole “It basically sounds like Prefuse 73 gone retarded.”- Mundane Sounds “Rolls along like the greatest party of your life upside down.” - Tangents (UK) “What Andy Kaufman did for comedy, Yea Big has done with their new album...” - Treblezine “This is the kind of thing glitch gluttons travel the earth in search of.” - Skyscraper
