What do you get when you combine a Grammy nominated production talent with a Hip hop, soulful, sultry multi range vocal talent? Yes, finally we have a SEXY male vocalist back in the forefront. Who knew super producer, Jo Capo aka “King Midas” had the vocal abilities to make his mark with a stunning unheralded 1st solo project. We are so proud to announce the release of his first single “Pleasure Medicine”. It gives us what we’ve been missing since true male testosterone laced with unadulterated swag left the scene. His voice is reminiscent of the Artist formerly known as Prince, while his music is as hard hitting as Al Green with a touch of UGK. “Pleasure Medicine”features the NY buzz kid, Brooklyn’s own rapper, Kevo Star. Kevo Star is one of the break out artists who has that new sound that makes every song have an “it” factor. His Dominican, French, Haitian, and Japanese background makes his flow easy like the wind. His mantra is “Kevo Star just talks to the music”. He definitely talks to the music on “Pleasure Medicine” and this track has something for everyone. It has flirtatious melodies, a seductive hook, sultry vocal delivery, and a feature with a gritty edge.
