"Keogea and Slik present Rockstar Galore: A rollercoaster of hip-hop, rock, and raw emotion blending genres."

Rockstar Galore, the first album created by collaborating NYC artists Keogea and Slik, is a boundary-breaking project that fuses Hip-Hop, R&B, Alternative Rock, Punk, and Pop for an exciting musical experience. Consisting of 13 songs, this album delves into a range of different themes, including enjoyment, romance, genuineness, and the difficulties of coping with contemporary society. Mainly created by Menaco Beats, with input from Aksai Beats, Rockstar Galore pushes the limits of typical hip-hop while providing a diverse, emotionally charged journey for listeners.

Keogea and Slik started off as colleagues, but their mutual passion for music soon blossomed into something deeper. The connection between them is evident in every track on the album, as they smoothly transition between energetic hits and heartfelt, introspective songs. This dual nature forms a rollercoaster of sound, featuring exhilarating peaks and introspective valleys. Songs like "ROCKSTAR LIFE!" establish the mood with energetic rhythms and impactful verses about extravagant living, while tracks like "Conquer" delve into themes of love, challenges in life, and the pursuit of genuine connection in a society filled with insincerity.

One of the standout aspects of the album is how it blends different genres. Songs such as "Dance Floor (Silhouette)" demonstrate Keogea and Slik's talent in smoothly moving between punk-influenced guitar riffs, hip-hop rhythms, and infectious pop tunes. Including rock elements, especially the amazing guitar riffs throughout the songs, adds a raw, rebellious edge to Rockstar Galore. The album's rock influences, drawing from the energy of early punk and ska, give it a nostalgic yet fresh feel that appeals to fans of different genres.

Rockstar Galore explores topics that strike a chord with a vast range of people. From experiencing the joys of living without worries to showing vulnerability through love and self-doubt, Keogea and Slik balance the album with grounding elements alongside moments of pure enjoyment. The concept of "authenticity versus deception" is a common topic, with the pair pondering the difficulties of being genuine in personal and professional relationships. The bold musical choices of Rockstar Galore are as strong as the vulnerability shown in their lyrics, creating a deeply personal yet widely relatable project.

The production of Rockstar Galore is precise, refined, and versatile across genres. Menaco Beats and Aksai Beats offer a base for Keogea and Slik to explore various sounds while maintaining the unity of the project. Moving seamlessly from silky R&B melodies to energetic punk rhythms, the album transitions smoothly between songs, captivating listeners and leaving them excited for what's to come.

Rockstar Galore, the debut by Keogea and Slik, is a bold and powerful entry into the music scene with its genre-blending sound. The album features a diverse blend of influences, such as hip-hop and punk, providing an exciting combination of enjoyment and reflection for listeners, keeping them entertained and engaged. The chemistry between Keogea and Slik, along with their creative production, results in Rockstar Galore becoming an album that pushes the limits of hip-hop, solidifying their position as emerging artists in the changing music scene. - TeethSound

"CONTAGIOUS HIP HOP IN AN INCREDIBLE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN KEOGEA AND EZZYO; LISTEN!"

By: Victor Matheus

Keogea releases new single "Thru The Night" being the first work released this year. Previously, the singles "Brain Dead" and "Golds In My Mouth" had been released. There is also the 2021 album "Higher Vibes".

The new work is made in partnership with Ezzyo in a brilliant and contagious sound with a brilliant mix between classic and modern hip hop, leading young and old people to enjoy this brilliant sound. The artist Keogea was born and raised in Queens, New York, listening to the most diverse genres, ranging from hip hop to rock, with blues, jazz and EDM, a vast taste for music that puts him in a privileged position to sing or compose. Around the age of 13 and 14, he started doing rap rhyme battles, with a natural talent, he is consolidating himself every day in rap.


"Thru The Night" has a very soft introduction, making our mind float with a synthesizer like a jazz keyboard, a classical background arrangement reminiscent of violin, in a melody that is pleasant to listen to. Soon, the more hip hop style beats come in, slow and growing, Ezzyo's vocals enter the track with slow rhymes but a solid and captivating vocal. In the transition, Keogea enters, in repetitive rhymes, infecting us and at that moment we surrender to the thrill of a night of this brilliant hip hop.

The partnership bets on a traditional sound, without straying from something R&B in influence, there's no mistake, a song that hits home not only for lovers of hip hop, but also for a quality track, which puts you in an environment and makes you stand up the atmosphere with a vibe that makes us move our bodies to the rhythm of "Thru The Night".


We quickly got into the track and we're experiencing "Thru The Night" with an incredible production in this partnership that comes with everything. Listeners can add it to their personal playlists, it's that hip hop to replay several times, the song grows and the entire atmosphere of their partnership we can feel around us, a sensational performance that the guys arrive at. - Indieoclock


"Thru The Night | Keogea releases mixed single of Old School Rap & New School Hip Hop"

A fresh, sweet, nauseating melancholy settles in the twilight of dawn with comfortable refinements of torpor. Initially velvety with the piano notes being carefully pronounced in their high essences, the song is now guided by a fluid and smooth beat along with a voice of balanced low timbre.

With a soft rhythmic cadence, the track, as much as it is an example of rap, does not bring brutality or the use of sub-bass, which makes it a differentiated product. Linear in its aesthetic guideline, Thru The Night brings a Keogea between rhyming verses, timbres soaked in autotunes and a lyricism that shows more of the artist himself.

Syncopated and interestingly contagious, Thru The Night emerges as a consecration, a firmament of the promise that Keogea will release, throughout 2024, more collaborations, as well as a collaborative EP. More than anything, the present new single, with the ability to promote a kind of old school rap along with a new school hip hop culture, manages to offer a perfect balance that helps mature and young audiences to be able to feel a nostalgic sigh that helps them to relive, mentally, the memories of a comforting past. - Roadie Music


"NEW MONEY by KEOGEA & Kay Prince"

With over a decade between them, artists Keogea and Kay Prince got together to create art…the result is shows here and there and some hit songs for the clubs…their latest single “New Money” is out now and it’s making big waves in the music scene.

Originally the duo met back in the day through gaming and with both having pretty iconic musical influences that includes 2Pac, J. Cole, Nas, Kid Cudi, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, Michael Jackson for Keogea and Future, Lil Durk, Hunxho for Kay.

They both performed very recently and they plan to expand more and more when it comes to live performances, while doing some hits like “Golds In My Mouth” which was a hit for the clubs…and now with “New Money” they’re pushing the boundaries.

Keogea recorded his part in New York City and Kay recorded his vocals in Virginia.

The production for “New Money” was crafted by the producer/artist Marvellous…an old friend of Keogea’s…and they met recently through pure chance

“New Money” checks all boxes for an instantly iconic hip-hop hit…powerful beats, catchy hooks, excellent vocal performance and especially for “New Money” is the super relatable lyrics that explore people’s behavior, loyalty and how money could either be the catalyst to change everything when it comes to loyalty…or it doesn’t, and loyal people stay the same.
