Keak Da Sneak (formerly in the group 3X Krazy) reinvented himself with his first independent solo album titled Sneakacydal in 1999. He is best known for his unique rap style and his recognizable voice. Known as a bay area legend, he was raised in East Oakland CA and he his life long dream was to be an entertainer. He was named Kunte Kinte Bowens by his father who predicted that his Last Son would be a Star. He is now named The Official King of Super Hyphy.....the movement that is sweeping the nation off its feet. It’s been a long time coming and he deserves the Spotlight. Keak has dropped independent albums and been featured in all urban magazines including The Source.........He was also featured in The Rolling Stone Magazine........You can catch him all over your major radio stations. Currently he’s featured in 3 videos that you can catch on MTV or BET. Keaks independently formed record Label ALLNDADOE is currently working on a few Mix Tapes and the REAL Farm Boyz album with Thizz Ent with respects to MAC DRE who was also a major impact on the Hyphy Movement. Keak has also started an after school program for the Youth Focusing on Music Careers and Entrepreneurship. He has invested a lot of effort into music equipment and all the right tools to help these youth who are talented and eager to learn about the business. Keak currently has ringtones and voice tones available on your SIDEKICK T-MOBILE. He is currently working on all types of projects ranging from TV shows & an up coming clothing line; he is striving to stay busy while presenting the BAY AREA Movement to the fullest. Keak has collaborated with a few major Artist’s such as Juvenile, Lil John and E-40 and has managed to have continued appearing on most major tracks coming from the bay area since his began his solo career. Keak Da Sneak is one of those special artists that only come around every once in a blue moon. Love him or hate him you cannot forget him. Without the backing of a major label Keak Da Sneak has amassed a supportive fan base on the west coast rivaling any of his peers, signed or unsigned. That fact is displayed every time one of his numerous hits thunders out of the speakers at the club or in a passing car, not to mention the various shows he performs. Until now the self-proclaimed King of the Super Duper Hyphy had yet to take advantage of his regional fame on a national level but that all ends November 6th when Deify, his first nationally distributed solo album hits stores. Powered by the singles “In Front of Yo Mama’s House” and “Sneak Come out at Night” Keak is ready to represent the entire west coast on a national scale with that classic California hip-hop style. Known for his energetic flow and unpredictable lyrics Keak represents pure energy on a level that even he can’t fully explain. “How the crowd reacts to me is like they are hypnotized,” says Keak. “From my voice to my style and my music, people just react a certain way.” No stranger to the rap world, Keak Da Sneak has been consistently putting fans in a trance through his music since he broke on the scene in 1997 as one third of the group 3XKrazy. After releasing their debut Stackin’ Chips (Noo Trybe/Virgin) to critical acclaim Keak would go on to do solo work that would define him as an artist to be reckoned with. His first solo album Sneakacydal dropped in the summer of 1999 setting the San Francisco Bay Area on fire eventually scanning over 20,000 copies. Though Sneakacydal made Keak a force in the streets it would be his sophomore release Hi-Tek that would take his music a force in the hood as well as the suburbs. Anchored by “Here Comes Keak Da Sneak” Keak was able to avoid the sophomore slump and increase his ever-growing fan base. 2003 would prove to be a breakout year for Keak. With his first bonafided hit burning up the West Coast “T-Shirt, Blue Jeans and Nikes” featuring E-40 put Keak in a different stratosphere. The song not only broke ground for him personally it broke the drought of Bay Area rap music not being played on major radio. “T-Shirt, Blue Jeans and Nikes” literally opened the door for Keak’s peers to get their music heard on the airwaves. “You know it’s a smash when little kids say ‘you ain’t got that Keak’,” says Big Von, music director of hip-hop station 106.1 Kmel. “White T’s was a hit way before it hit airwaves.” “T-Shirts would go on to appear on Copium (Counting Other People’s Money) Keak’s most successful album to date. “Copium laid the foundation for the Hyphy Movement, when Bay area artists were afraid to be from the Bay, Keak embraced Bay Area culture and made it worthy of national recognition,” says Will Bronson, Senior A&R director for SMC Recordings, the label that released Copium. After 3 successful independent albums the industry expected the unorthodox rhyme animal to take it to the next level and strike it big on a major label but as with anything else it was not going to happen until Keak was ready for it to happen. Never one to be out of the limelight for too long the buzz surrounding the Oakland native went from a faint whisper to a fevered pitch after he bombarded listeners with the instant classic “Super Hyphy” and his nearly scene stealing guest appearance on E-40’s smash single “Tell Me When to Go.” Finally all of the hard work and dedication Keak has put down in his decade plus career is paying off in the form of Deify. The CD is 20 tracks deep pure unadulterated Keak Da Sneak flavor. With production handled by Young Mozart, Alchemist and Daz Dillinger and guest appearances by Akon, Prodigy, Mistah Fab and more Deify is sure to make noise from coast to coast. “I really laid it down from where I’m from to be the people’s champ in the Bay now its just time for me to spread my wings and get to those regions who haven’t heard of me yet or where my record isn’t in the stores there.” What makes Keak so special is that despite whatever trend is ruling rap at the time, Keak remains Keak. He just doesn’t care about what everyone else is doing and that’s why he’s the heart of Oakland. Hyphy music and the Bay Area can never die as long as Keak Da Sneak, The King of the Super Duper Hyphy is still breathing. Yadadamean!
