LISTEN AGAIN - City Boy Soul joins King Caztro on Up In Smoke this Saturday 2-4pm

City Boy Soul King Caztro will be reuniting with London’s sensation “City Boy Soul” once again on “UP IN SMOKE!” An engagingly charismatic and groundbreaking new UK talent, who delivers as well live as on record - Pete Lewis of Hip Hop Connection/Blues & Soul “A truly independent act, well arranged/performed” - Lauren John of Music.co.uk “The combination of Coree Richards from previous outfit Damage and UK rapper Gak Jonze make a winning formula for success” -The Music Freak of Musicvita 2010
A pairing of none other than Coree Richards from superstar boy band Damage, and Gak Jonze, an essential UK rapper in today’s Hip Hop scene, City Boy Soul have already gained the attention of key industry figures from Trevor Nelson to Simon Cowell.
Despite current interest around the band from major players they’re determined to do this their way and No Regrets (Who We Are) not only lyrically echoes this intent but will be released through indie label Mykali Records giving the boys full control of their music, which from the sounds of this track, is no bad thing.

Produced by U-Boy (known for his work with Lemar, MC Harvey, J-Rok/Randy and Party Dark) the track has already caught the attention of the club scene and it’s easy to see why with it’s instant blend of pop, R&B and hip-hop. Accessible, with just the right amount of bite, this is the start of big things to come for C.B.S

About Coree:Growing up in NW London Coree began nurturing his vocal talent at his Grandmother’s Church before getting involved with singing at school. It was here Damage formed going on to produce hits such as ‘Love Guaranteed’, ‘Forever’ and a cover of Eric Clapton’s ‘Wonderful Tonight’ that reached number 3 in the charts.

After leaving Damage Coree began work on his solo material debuting with ‘I don’t give a damn’ which was video of the week on Trevor Nelson’s ‘The Lick’. He went on to explore his urban roots both writing and performing internationally and it was in between tours he met Gak on the London Club scene and formed City Boy Soul

About Gak: Gak first found a love of music aged 5 rapping amongst his brothers, and by 9 had made his first public performance. Determined to follow his calling he secured management and started his recording career with Garage track ‘Your Body’. Adopting the name Chameleon due to his ability to effortlessly shift styles and whilst at university, somehow aged only 17, Gak became the front man of ‘Live Evil’ (also featuring Roni Size drummer Tony Phillips).

Since then this shar lyricist has been involved in many projects which eventually lead to him working with girl group Cherry Falls until 2006. With a rich history in the industry now is Gak’s time to shine and C.B.S is the perfect platform to showcase this versatile talent
