ABOUT

The past has a funny way of shaping the future. It becomes a part of you and changes the way you drive yourself towards the next step. Bitter Rhythm is a perfect example of how over 8 years of hard work, determination, mistakes, and learning from those mistakes can lead you on a path to greatness. With in-your-face attitude, poetic lyrics, and banging beats, Bitter Rhythm takes Canadian hip-hop to a whole new level. With the upcoming album & video release, along with the recent release of their new single "Last Call", the path ahead is going to be one hell of a ride. The group was formed in August of 2009 and consists of Natural Instinct of Saskatoon, SK, and Bawbe Fresh of Castlegaar, BC. Both now live in Kelowna, BC and spend their time doing what they love; making music, and making it the best. Bitter Rhythm began their live career at The Habitat's Open Mic night. "I never wanted to go on stage before but Nat (Natural Instinct) pushed me and now I’m having a blast. " Says Bawbe. It's a good thing Bawbe overcame these fears because these performances led them towards a whole new level of live concerts. From opening for Factor, Def 3, Kay the Aquanaut, the group has shared the stage with Canadian hip-hop legends Swollen Members in Penticton, BC and Salmon Arm, BC. The next major concert for Bitter Rhythm was in March of 2010 when they opened for D-12. In their spare time between playing shows all over the Okanagan, Nat and Bawbe have been working on a full album release, a video release for their new single, and were also recently signed to Alero Music Group. "Our fu*k-bag manager (laughs) unexpectedly landed us a show with Swollen Members, I guess AMG (Alero Music Group) saw the kind of work we can put in, they saw we can do more than play 30 person shows, and that we have big dreams... I think it did a lot for AMG to see that we’re not going to just settle for second best. To me its not an option." Nat explains. AMG (Darnell Toth and Angelo Alero) will also be involved in the production of their new album. Bitter Rhythm's music consists of beats made by Bawbe Fresh. " I was in grade 11 and I took a class called navigator, it was a class where you could like, study anything as long as you did it, so I started making beats on the computer and it just progressed from there." The lyrics are written by both Nat and Bawbe, and range from story-telling, to party tracks, skits, and in the end poetry to music. After it all, I was posed with a question. What is hip-hop? Is it a culture? Is it a genre? Or is it a way of life? No. Hip-hop is Bitter Rhythm. So whether your in the mood to jump around, or to close your eyes and drift away, Bitter Rhythm has a song for you.
