Bio:
CandleSpit Collective is a young and unwaveringly driven hip-hop crew out of Berkeley, California. The group consists of two “lead” emcees, JB Nimble and Poe (AKA LivIn’Poetry), and one producer/emcee, Cyberclops, who is solely responsible for the staple “throwback”, or break-beat-meets-saucy-jazz-and-funk-melody style, heard throughout their music. Though they came together by way of Berkeley (and really the Bay Area in general) these are no Cali-natives, collectively at least. Don’t let their apparent connectedness and definitive west-coast vibe shape the fashion of your descent into their realm. These young men, despite appearances and stereotypes, are a well-traveled and thoroughly cultured bunch, who has unremittingly taken the steps necessary to make their mark on the industry (COMPLETELY INDEPENDANTLY).

JB and Poe, who met at a digital arts college in 2009, spent a year developing their style together, and since have proven their worth in a competitive market, pushing each other beyond limits they would have had capacity to face individually. Soon thereafter, Poe approached JB with the idea for Ear Peace Records, and the bond was legalized in summer 2010. The Park became the fusion’s identity, but CandleSpit Collective, or Clops’ beats, is what made that possible. In the beginning, when the two first started writing together, Poe ran into another young man he’d met at a different college some years before, that man was Cyberclops. Clops shows up at Poe’s fish counter the next day with 16 beats to lace, and within 2 days, JB and Poe had written to every single one.

Having done all of this in one year, it seems clear we can expect plenty more from this young and eager crew. They’ve already ordered 5000 shelf-ready copies of their first official release, Twenty10’s, plus they promise the release of two more full records by the end of 2011 (one of which will be from The Park). They’ve even stated the titles of those albums, in a seemingly reckless attempt at doing things their own way. The industry would say they’re crazy, that nobody promises anything before they can deliver the product. They’d say the industry does a lot of things wrong, and that if you looked closely enough at what they were doing, you may get an idea of what The People really think of music today, and where The People want to see it go tomorrow.
