In June of 2009, Ricca Razor Sharp released his long awaited sophomore album, ‘Causeways & C-Trains’ on Neferiu Records, touring the country with label-mate Mantrakid on the successful 'Drunken Bachelor & Absentee Father Tour'. Combing musical influences spanning 5 decades, and saluting his home towns of Clarks Harbour NS and Calgary, AB, this album's symetry and infectiousness will put Ricca's name on the tongues of music fans and critics from coast to coast. As an energetic stage performer, accomplished freestyler, VP of Neferiu Records, and constant presence on the Alberta music scene, Ricca’s ability to connect to all audiences make him a favorite. With ten years experience, & over 250 performances, Ricca's scope and positive attitude resonate with those who appreciate the late 80s/early 90s hip-hop ethos. Meanwhile, Ricca's clever lyrics and free-forming flow are instantly identified by new school fans looking to graduate beyond the empty raps which no longer satisfy their appetite.
Drawing influence from three decades of hip-hop, Ricca is a festival favorite, rocking impressive sets at Toronto’s NXNE (where he was identified as one of the top 60 artists in 08), and Calgary’s Sled Island. A veteran of alternative bands defEKt and Phattoe, Ricca also finds motivation in his love of all music, including reggamuffin, electro, pop, rock and even punk, creating a soundscape that any music fan can identify with. 2006's '12 Steps to a Deffer You' (Neferiu Records) drew positive reactions from audiences both hip hop and otherwise, earning critical acclaim and college radio love. Whether performing solo, or with other members of the Audible Intelligence crew, Ricca has a long history of rocking clubs, pubs, street festivals, house parties, fund-raisers and major events. Having opened for hip-hop heavyweights from Redman/Method Man, Kardinal Offishal, Buck 65 and America's Top Dance Crew winners the Jabbawackeez, Ricca’s off the wall style has earned him respect that crosses the borderlines of musical genres. www.riccarazorsharp.com Buy my album: www.neferiu.com For more information, please contact Jonathan Stoddart at Neferiu.
