artist Lexington + Whatevski

Lexington and Whatevski are more than just rappers. Besides releasing four cult-classic albums since 2003 and doing countless shows and tours with artists like Swollen Members, RA the Rugged Man, and Cadence Weapon, they possess utter determination in other aspects of music production as well- album art, photographs, and video production are all part of their daily routine - and with all of these elements, they are hell-bent on shaking up the world with their remarkable ability to make art with horrible taste, but make it taste amazing.

                Lexington and Whatevski have all of the attributes that are essential in top quality artists. They have unrestrained creativity, complex flows and narratives, an unforgettable live show, and a unique character and attitude that grabs the listener, forcing them into a cartoon world painted with the satire of Robert Crumb and the excess of a 1970s B-Movie. Through their ironic, tongue-in-cheek tone, the duo openly defies all conventional views of hip hop and pushes the boundaries of content in any genre. "Fireworks in a Lightning Storm" for example, is a song off of Preggers Can't Be Choosers (Lex and Evski's latest full length album) that takes the classic party track to a whole new level. As opposed to the glitz and glamour, VIPs and expensive liqueurs associated with mainstream hip hop, Lexington and Whatevski play the lovable idiots that are too drunk to party and too rude to be welcome in any club. It is this backwards sensibility and sound that Lexington and Whatevski have instilled as a hip hop staple in the prairie region of Canada, and it is sure to spread. These are two very talented individuals that have a lot of fun with rap music and a ton of potential to spare.       

                "I think it's inevitable that people see what our music looks like before they hear what it sounds like," says Lexington, "for us, it's just as important to captivate our audience visually as it is through the songs. Videos are the best, we're going to do a lot more of those."

                 This is good news; the self-directed, self-produced, and self-financed music videos that Lexington and Whatevski make are just as innovative and entertaining as the music they make.

                Tranquility, rage, hilarity, despair - these are the life experiences that fill Lexington and Whatevski's Preggers Can't Be Choosers, where the bottom line is to say something fresh and to never say the same thing twice.
