Dubcnn as always takes some time out to give an insight on some Westcoast talent. Empty Pocketz is a duo which includes brothers Nick & Joseph Valentine (AKA Cello & Jodamself). The group – who now are reside in Los Angelesm California – was born in the deserts of the South-Western hemisphere, New Mexico, Phoenix during a welfare plagued summer of 1994. Since that time the brothers have made noise throughout the South-West & Westcoast with self-budgeted 12-Inch singles : “Who Got Themotts” (1994), “Illusions”(Vestry Records 1995), “Marvelouss..@!” and the EP “Letters From The Field” in 2000
Empty Pocketz presents rhymes of reality, with a humorous-sarcastic twist presente within an original sound made for the masses. The sounds range from jazzy to grimey with Cello behind 90% of the groups production. The duo has touched the stage with the likes of Krs-1, Xzibit, Tha Alkaholiks, The Beatnuts, Das Efx, Raekwon, Pharcyde and many more. Known for their great stage presence & realistic rhymes of life, Empty Pocketz is a remedy needed in the now saturated hip hop reservoir.
They are currently preparing to release their mixtape, Broke Like You” mixtape at the end of the month. It is set to feature Xzibit, Papa Roach, Ras Kass, Preston, Diggey Brown & Phil Da Agony. As ever dubcnn has some audio previews for you all to peep! Make sure you check these out, some serious heat!
