Representing BK to the fullest, BarHoppers prove that you don't have to sell out to sell records. Hip-hop fans are sick of both overly preachy and hard-partying rappers -- most artists are aware of this, but the duo BarHoppers, Hektic and FLIKS actually tackle the problem. On their debut album, “We're Thirsty” address the issue head-on and attempt to bring a bit of fun and humor to social commentary. - rule4080.com

Bio
It was 2008. What you need is to get "gangsta", get a "grill" and get shot, that was Hip Hop. Then there was BFD, creativity unbound, unleashing the type of music that made it own lane. No Carbon copies, no gimmicks, F.L.I.K.S. (For Life I Keep Strong) & Hektic, two unruly emcees stormed the NYC scene. Each a force by themsleves as soloists, hurting feelings and abusing tracks, thats the job. The Renaissance is in full swing, being visually creative as well as musicians they shot videos and created campaigns around their music until 2008. In 2009 enter: BarHoppers, officially a duo now Hektic and F.L.I.K.S. combine all influences from Curtis Mayfield to Spike Jonze all the way from The White Stripes to Andy Warhol. Unlike anything or anyone before them, BarHoppers lead the way in ingenuity backed by the production of New Era Xound Factor they released "We're Thirsty, the EP" to the masses in 2009 on NEXF. Never stopping for chaser, BarHoppers continue to keep you interested in Hip Hop. Get a cup and join the party.
