10 years of friendship and a love of music has translated into a new project by Awaxx & Ariano. Together, they bring you Alive. This is not the first collaboration by Awaxx and Ariano but it is without a doubt their best effort to date. Awaxx has been releasing material for years with consistency and a high level of presentation. On Alive, he paints his vocals over a canvas of cross-genre production with poetry and heartfelt words, delivered with a sense of urgency and the experience of a life lived to the fullest. Ariano is no stranger to the California Hip Hop scene, always evolving since his days of laying hooks with groups like The Visionaries, and artists like Snoop Dogg and Crooked I. Ariano has taken his sound to the world since then and has laid a bass-heavy and raw, but polished, production on the Alive EP. Alive allows you to get to know Awaxx on a more personal note, while Ariano continues to show his range on the production and hooks. The features on the project range from Living Legends own Scarub, to Long Beach veteran Philieano, to D.A.The INM, T.R.3, Mr. Crowley, Openmine, January High, Father Poet, Castur Pollux, and Josh Dominguez, with Ian “ENS” Silverman on guitar All add their own artistry to bring a cohesive project to light. Awaxx has arrived with a new sound with Ariano providing the soundtrack. Welcome to Alive.
