Kia Kadari
Feel This

Maximum Music is proud to announce the highly anticipated debut release Feel This by the Vancouver based Urban Music artist Kia Kadiri. Kia has been a leading light on the west coast music scene for years and is well know for her explosive live shows. She performed live with her band on the eve of the official April 20th street date for Feel This. The show was a great success, thanks to all who were involved.

Kia Kadiri has recorded with Moka Only, Prevail (Swollen Members), Kinnie Starr and L.A. underground hero Abstract Rude (Battleaxe). She has opened for such luminaries as Spearhead, Mix Master Mike, and Rahzel. Feel This leaves no doubt that Kia Kadiri is an artist who's time has come.

Sweatshop Union
Natural Progression

Original Release Date October 7, 2003
Label:Battle Axe
Sweatshop Union is truly inspirational. They rap about topics that matter to them and they make you step back and take a look at things from a different perspective. 7 guys come together to form the Sweatshop Union and each one of them is intelligent and raps with a style that is most interesting. The production is killer and the quality is consistent.
These cats are definitely one of the highlights of the Swollen Members' BattleAxe label. They are true to their music. If you like intelligent hiphop then this is a selection for you. If you like hiphop that gets your head movin' then this is also a selection for you. This CD has quality written all over it.
