But, here's what people are saying about the music of Eddie Meeks: "Original music with substance and style"... Soren Baker, LA Times "Defies comparison...Another winner"...Elemental Magazine "I truly love "True Urban Grit". I spun it as the first song today on our 400th show in celebration of 400 Hip-Hop victories in Japan's 1st Hip Hop commercial prime time show"...Joey Slick, Joint One Radio Show, 76.1 InterFM, Tokyo, Japan While landing the #1 spot twice on the Joint One Radio Show, thousands in the United States are getting a chance to experience what all the chatter is about. The song "Prophetionals" was voted "Best of MP3.com" as well as chosen to be on the Ford Motor Company/MP3.com Edge Trax compilation CD-Rom in the year 2000 AD. Not waiting on the industry to "give" him a recording deal, he formed Asylum Entertainment in 1995. Asylum Entertainment has released over 8 independent records including Larger Than Life b/w Gunclappin' (1997), Larger Than Life The EP (1998), Da Unfold (2000), Art Varies From Head To Head, the HDZ Project (2000), True Urban Grit (2001), High Risk (2002), Bigguns (2003), and Meet Jon Doe (2003).. Outstanding accomplishments include a hot remix by Jon Doe on the world famous Beastie Boys Anthology DVD, performances at the legendary Apollo in Harlem, New York, and sharing the stage with the Grammy award winning Hip-Hop band, The Roots, KRS-ONE, Talib Kweli, Slum Village, Dead Prez, and MF Doom. The originality of his music earned him a featured spot in several College Music Journal live showcases including the CMJ Musicfest in New York. His music has been highlighted on commercials broadcast on MTV and TNT and on various radio shows across the country. Meeks hit the metro Atlanta area as a college freshmen at Southern Tech in Marietta, GA and has been striving toward the top ever since. He met Jon Doe while he was a college radio DJ at Western Kentucky University. When Jon graduated, he moved to Nashville to rock at Vanderbilt radio for one semester. Then he moved to Atlanta, linked up with the Memphis born emcee, and the rest is history. What makes their chemistry so dope is their ability to feed off each other added to the fun and energy they put into their work. They have mastered the live show with turntables and have even expanded their artistry to include occasional performances with live bands. But don't get the vision twisted this artist is definitely underground and hungry. In hot pursuit of closing his first label deal, Meeks drove 3,000 miles from Atlanta to Los Angeles to make sure their music was being properly represented at the label. He has been known to use the "Guest List" tactic to get into clubs free to promote their art. Jon Doe came out of no where and added a whole new dimension to their arsenal. Next up to bat is the highly anticipated solo double album by Eddie Meeks called “After This I’ll Holla”/”On Everything I Love”. Striving to survive in this business of music, Meeks will do whatever it takes to make it known that they are here to stay!
