Biographies

E.B.B. & F.L.O.W.
The hip-hop tandem E.B.B. & F.L.O.W. characterizes the revitalization of early hip-hop elements during a time when many have said hip-hop is dying. As artists E.B.B. & F.L.O.W. have been able to remain commercially relevant while being musically innovative, a fact that sets them apart from any other group in the industry today.

The group is comprised of producer - DeMo (Every Beat Bangs), a Boston, MA native whose production style is refreshingly authentic, innovative, and versatile, and emcee - PyInfamous (Fresh Lyrics On Wax), a Mississippi artist whose unparalleled lyricism and distinct voice set him apart from his peers in the hip-hop genre. Performances at several prominent venues in the Boston area, including Great Scott, the Bulfinch Yacht Club, the BeeHive, and the Lizard Lounge, has providied crowds with a riveting experience each and every time. To listen to some of E.B.B. & F.L.O.W.’s music, visit their MySpace page at www.myspace.com/demoandinf.
