X-Faction 2, “The Path Of Prime”.
Written and performed by Primordial Emcee.
Produced by Chief 4syt.
Video filmed, directed and edited by Primordial Emcee.
Bio
Toronto rapper Primordial Emcee is a founding member of Faction, who have released two albums and one EP since 2010. The trio are currently focused on solo projects, which includes Prime’s X-Faction 2: Reanimated, the ODB-like sequel to his group’s most successful album. XF2 follows a similar formula to the original, using comic book, anime and sci-fi concepts and metaphors to cover a range of topics.
The first single is “The Path of Prime,” produced by Faction’s Chief 4syt and inspired by The Matrix. The DIY video was filmed, directed and edited by Prime over a few months. Of the song, Prime says: “I wanted to show people my life, what I can do, and in relation to this world we live in being a matrix. The theme has so many topics I like to rhyme about, from conspiracy subject matter to science fiction, religion, a little bit of sexual humour, and just a bunch of metaphors, puns and similes from my perspective.”
Mutants, outcasts, and fans of underground rap, be prepared to throw your X’s in the air once again as X-Faction 2: Reanimated drops on Hand’Solo Records in May 2015.

Short Bio :
Ultra Magnus & DJ SLAM! is everything the world needs during these tumultuous uncertain times. Another DJ and the 10,000th rapper this week, and from Canada, no less. But what sets this duo apart from the rest is they make music not for their contemporaries but for dental assistants, public servants, Puerto Rican goths, Filipino vampires, sexual deviants, 1990s ravers, dads, people with three dads, your dad, Big Daddy Kane, and you. Yes, even you, rap fan, should find something to like in the rhythmic bleating of Ultra Magnus and the steady beatitude of DJ SLAM!.
“[Second single “Rock The Mic”] is about taking music (specifically hip-hop) seriously, but to not forget that we do this to have fun.” – DJ SLAM!
