Kings of Dreamland, the mysterious Liberian biological brothers have snuck up on the underground music scene behind a black and white logo. However, Hero the Valiant (Singer, Producer), Yung Canon (Rapper), and Holliwood Pennsylvania(Rapper) are not new to the music world. They have made music as a group since 2004, starting with the release of their demo “A Struggle Will Never End”. They sold over 1,000 copies of their first demo in Philadelphia (Kings of Dreamland grew up in South West Philadelphia) and around Pittsburgh, which included the hit "Drop It" that received airplay on 106.7 WAMO in Pittsburgh, PA. Their influences such as Outkast, N.E.R.D., East Coast Hip-Hop, Modern and Traditional African Music, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Radiohead, Jimi Hendrix, MGMT, and The Doors show their true diversity.
Kings of Dreamland have performed in several venues and large events including:
-
CLUB MIAMI - ATLANTA, GA
-
THE UNDERGROUND - SANDUSKY, OH
-
LULU'S - STATE COLLEGE, PA
-
HIP HOP IN THE PARK - DETROIT, MI
-
PECO MULTICULTURAL SERIES - PHILADELPHIA, PA (PENN'S LANDING)
-
THE GARAGE - ASHEVILLE, NC
-
CAHOOTENANY'S - JOHNSON CITY, TN
Kings of Dreamland relocated to Charlotte, NC last winter. They began a large street team program, which evolved from a few friends to multiple teams in Penn State, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Sandusky, Charlotte, Palm Beach, Phoenix, New York City, and more, including over 50 members.
Kings of Dreamland released their latest single, “So Find I”, the first single off of their upcoming album, on January 1, 2010. It has generated over 600,000 plays on Myspace since its release. It is available on iTunes, Amazon, Napster, and other large internet retailers. This song sounds a little like a hip-hop/pop blend of Outkast and Black Eyed Peas mixed with a rock sound reminiscent of older Red Hot Chili Peppers.
They have fans of all races, ages, and geographic locations. Imagine gangstas, soccer moms, skateboarders, and college students at one show. You will see that at a Kings of Dreamland concert.
