“This is about as exciting as a debut can get.” – Buzzine

“The words don’t exist that can justifiably showcase the greatness that is King Fantastic.” – Revibe

“In a period where hip-hop has progressively feathered itself in with electronic, this producer/lyricist duo successfully sucker punches the other doldrums just sittin’ around stale.” – Indieshuffle

King Fantastic’s video for “Why? Where? What?” has over a million plays in just a few months, and made multiple top ten lists of 2010, including video of the year on Europe’s leading music blog First Up! It was also featured on G4TV’s ‘Attack of the Show” and airs regularly on Playboy TV.

Of recent, the duo has remixed Linkin Park’s lead single “The Catalyst” for Warner Bros., reworked their club track “All Black Ying Yang (The Party Song)” for EA Video Games’ Sims 3 Late Night, and in April will make their festival debut at Paid Dues in Southern California.
