Deface Marketing

FORMER ARTISTS

Jury The Clown

Jury was one of the original members of the Deface crew. His thought provoking art inspired the name Deface Marketing, because he paints on currency. Thus defacing government property. But his artwork is not solely an act of rebellion, it’s a challenge to think freely and to ponder, what you hold true and dear.

Sickle Cell
Sickle was the first horror core or acid rap artist to sign with Deface. He opened the doors and inspired a whole list of new talent. He helped spawn the Dr.Espling we all know and love. Sickle has since abandoned his pursuit of music and can be found running the streets of New Castle, PA.

Jakyl
Jakk was one of the premiere rap artist on the east coast. He single handedly put the Pittsburgh rap scene on the map. He produced the underground hip-hop show Battle Dome, which featured some of the area’s hottest up and coming talent. Jakyl’s time with Deface saw the release of 2 albums, “Illworld” and “The Battle Dome Soundtrack” along with a DVD video single for the track So High. After several years of Deface Loyalty, Jakyl moved on to what was poised to be a very successful solo career.

The Illness
This group began taking the internet by storm in 2003, and quickly grew a fan base across the nation. Though the comdenation of Sickle Cell, Dr.Espling and Jakyl proved to be volatile, these three produced several of the finest tracks Deface has ever released. After racking up some impressive tour slots, including shows with 2 Live Crew, Marz & Esham, the group imploded as most “Supergroups” do.

Zipper Stitch
The boys in Zipper Stitch took what began as a bar band and turned it into a force to be reckoned with. With countless shows under their belt, they were poised to take on the music industry in a toe to toe battle that was undoubtedly going to be a knock out, drag out brawl. The band coined a full ablum of hook laden metal tracks that could start a mosh pit within any crowd.
However, front man extraordinaire, Josh Alters, had a harder edge vibe running through his veins, his desire to make hard and heavy music forced him to make the hard descion to leave the Zipper Stitch and start a new group called One Step Away. Zipper Stitch continues on to this day with a new singer and a more melodic sound.

Dyce
Dyce was one of the hottest street rappers the ‘burgh had to offer, with no fear he would step out of his element and battle anyone anywhere. He sought out the competition and was ready to spit at a moment's notice. He would roll up in the hood, he would be the only white guy for miles. But he showed no fear, only desire to earn the respect of the street one block at a time.
