Ces Cru is an underground rap duo originating from Kansas City, M.O. The group consists of Donnie “Godemis” King and Mike “Ubiquitous” Viglione. They’re currently signed to Tech N9ne’s Strange Music label, and work well with the immensely talented roster. They put themselves on the hip hop map with their 2004 debut; Capturing Enemy Soldiers. The duo occasionally uses their name to act as an acronym for their album titles thus demonstrating their continual creativity.

They have 8 projects including their newest album, Catastrophic Event Specialists, with 2 of their projects being extended plays. Both of them are talented individuals with an expansive line-up of genre blending sounds each perpetuating different views and perceptions whilst each bring a relative musical dichotomy of light and darkness. Godemis has a very grimy, dark, iniquitous personality, referring to himself as a sinner and a murderer. He often dabbles in black magic and occultism, continually perpetuating a nihilistic, sacrilegious ideology, usually showing it by killing or bringing harm to religious figures all whilst bringing it together with criminally impressive, twisted wordplay. Ubiquitous has a very slick, classy, intellectual personality, exhibiting acute razor sharp, lyricism sporting an untouchable use of vocabulary mixed with street colloquialisms, wrapped up in a sophisticated delivery.

Don’t forget to check out their 2012 solo Mixtapes made shortly after their singing to Strange Music:

Godemis’s The Deevil Mixtape
Ubiquitous’s Matter Don’t Money Mixtape

Godemis’s The Deevil is a crafty and otherworldly Mixtape, crafted from one of the most sinister lyrical masterminds in the rap game. Be warned that it’s songs are very dark and twisted and certainly represent Godemis’s inner darkness. Also don’t forget to check out his 2014 remix of the Mixtape called The Deevil 6.0.

Ubiquitous’s Matter Don’t Money is a hard hitting, smart, witty, clever, fast moving Mixtape with that’ll leave a listener contemplating Ubiquitous’s impressive wordplay long after they finish it.

All work from the duo is a definite must-have and will raise your musical standards far above average.
