Swollen Members - "Kyla" - Listen Here
The track appears on the group’s sixth studio album, Armed To The Teeth, which lands in stores October 27th through Suburban Noize records and Battle Axe Records. "'Kyla" is one of my favorite cuts on Armed To The Teeth and I know the Swollen fans will feel it as well," commented Prevail from Swollen Members. "The track is named after a very good friend of ours who plays an electric violin on the song. Her style and approach to violin is well studied but at the same time purely instinctual, which gives her a unique sound. Having her play on the track added symphonic power to the track and our music."

Once there was a kid that was just as influenced by Beatles as he was by Dr.Dre. By skateboarding Kovas was introduced to kids with different world views. By spinning records on his turntable, he began to learn to DJ and developed a passion for music. Kovas began to write raps and music, inspired by the places, people and cultures he interacted with.Kovas' father came to America for a better life, so Kovas was no stranger to adjusting to new ideas. Soon his new friends introduced him to new sounds, new records, new ideas that weren't familiar in his Brooklyn hood. So he began to pick up instruments and cultivate a sound all his own. Kovas has remixed and produced for some of the biggest names in music, including Justin Timberlake, Usher, Chris Brown & De La Soul just to name a few. With the diverse production chops of Rick Rubin, The Neptunes, Timbaland, and Dr. Dre. Kovas simultaneously created his own sound and his own genre of music. And he christened it Ghetto Beat. Now experience it for yourself.
