The lineup for the evening is comprised of some of the best raw talent the Hampton Roads area has to offer, including the up-and-coming alternative hip-hop group, ReKaSte.

Supported by Grandpa Productions, ReKaSte delivers an alternative hip-hop sound that is unique to the Hampton Roads area.

Maybe I’m biased, but I definitely think ReKaSte is prepared to take the world by storm. You’ve never heard a group like this before. Whether you’re into hip-hop, pop, R&B, alternative or rock, ReKaSte has a sound that pleases the most versatile ear.

In October, the group released their first sample CD, called Jambalaya. Jambalaya is an eclectic fusion of melodic pop, edgy alternative, and hard-hitting hip-hop beats.  The unique sounds found in Jambalaya will be sure to leave your ears hungry for more. The CD contains three tracks, each with their own distinctive vibe. “Blade” delivers a futuristic style and electrifying beat that will jolt you to the core, while “She Make Me Say” brings an uplifting yet sultry tune that is sure to keep heads nodding. The final track and certified club banger, “Throw It Up” is sure to make listeners jump out their seats and move to the dance floor. Download Jambalaya by clicking the CD cover below, and oh–prepare to keep this CD on repeat….

Just in time for the holiday season, the group recently released their holiday single, “Christmas Time is Here.” The song really takes you back. It’s a feel good song that makes you want to be near family and friends, celebrating the holiday together. Don’t take my word for it! Click on the cover below and hear it for yourself!
