Arkatek {aka Ed Rowe} of Atlanta, GA and KelpiNINE of Ukraine forge musical roots to construct a dynamic sound foundation known as Master Builder.  Both artists lay the ‘Groundwork For Glory’ through insightfully sharp lyricism and heavy soul-sonic soundscapes.  Arkatek encourages listeners to gravitate towards their greatness [‘Come To Your Dreams’] by surpassing limitations [‘Threshold’] and remaining true to one’s self [maintaining ‘Structural Integrity’].  KelpiNINE cements the album’s craftsmanship by providing Golden Era-esque boom-bap production, laden with bass-infused drum beats and diverse sample-based rhythms.  Master Builder provides the framework for HipHop to flourish organically from Underground to Mainstream and every surface in between.

Arkatek full catalog can be heard, downloaded, and purchased on Soundcloud or Bandcamp
