Who is Cadillac Muzik?

Beseja "CaddyMack" Moses and Scott Campbell aka "DaddyDvill" are cousins that started heavily getting involved with music as kids.  It went from popping and sliding in talent shows, free-styling in circles, and banging on tables in school, to becoming actual recording artists.  They started their recording career in early 2003 rapping & writing music as teenagers with their cousins B-Snow, HollyWood, & Mr. H in a native San Antonio rap group known as the Texas Hardknocks or THK.  They also released projects with their cousin "Big E" in 2006/2007 with rap duo Big E & Lil Scott under 7 Cru Ent.  In 2010, the duo decided to hook up with Producer/Songwriter James Howard aka "J-Marz" to merge styles and form their own band aside of THK called Cadillac Muzik.  

Cadillac Muzik is no newbie to the music game and faithfully holding down the streets of Texas with block-burning projects.  Cadillac Muzik can easily be described as one of the brightest rays of independent Alternative Hip Hop/Soul/Funk/Pop from the sunny southern hemisphere of Texas and other meridional regions.  Cadillac Muzik has opened up for other industry acts such as The Temptations, Cypress Hill, Lil Boosie, Z-RO, Magno and Chalie Boy.  The term "Cadillac Muzik" was given birth to by one of their main influences, and one of Hip Hop's greatest legendary duos Outkast, in 1994 with their album Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik.  The band explains how their uncles, fathers, and other male role models as kids were actual pimps, players, gangsters, hustlers, ex-ball players and pastors that drove Eldorados, Fleetwoods, and Devilles.  The band explains how they remember coming up around these types of role models in the streets of San Antonio Texas, and how it actually bestowed upon them the knowledge and wisdom to balance street life survival and corporate america.  

"The music was played into us.  The funk and soul was all we had to listen to.  We would ride listening to UGK, Outkast, and Eightball & MJG.  The music was like our religion and educational system, since their was a lack of knowledge and education in our community and public school systems.  These artists were like our mentors and pastors back then.  It gave us a since of balance and consciousness.  We as Cadillac Muzik want to make the music we love and reach the world in a positive way through our artistry, giving the people powerful and authentic music that inspires them to embrace their originality and individuality.  We want people to realize their is always a way out of their current negative circumstance, if they really dig deep into who they are, find themselves,  and put back into the person right next to them.  We believe the music is the source," the band also explains...

Cadillac Muzik's image, creativity, and artistry in general hasn't been seen in the music industry since the golden era of the 90s. Inspired by legendary artists/masterminds such as Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, Willie Hutch, Michael Jackson, George Clinton, Ohio Players, Marvin Gaye, Isaac Hayes, Roy Ayers, Charlie Wilson, The Beatles, Prince, Dungeon Family, UGK, PKO, Devin Tha Dude, Ghetto Boys, Dr. Dre, S.U.C, Kid N Play, Teddy Riley, Grand Master Flash & Furious Five, Maze, Mint Condition, Raphael Saadiq, Timbaland, A Tribe Called Quest, Isley Brothers, Earth Wind & Fire, Roger Troutman, Public Enemy & De La Soul.  Cadillac Muzik wants to follow this long line of greatness becoming a legendary band on their own with their own unique sound. The Texas band is what the music industry has been missing since years.  Offering originality, longevity, and creativity, Cadillac Muzik is more than music from the beginning to the end and they have proven that fact time and time again. With a growing fanbase, everytime they release a new project or hit the stage, Cadillac Muzik tores like a hurricane leaving a lasting impression everywhere.


"The best way to describe our style would be luxurious like a cadillac. You don't have to put rims on a cadillac, you can ride it ORIGINAL!"
