If you mix Recipe, D.J. Kal, and Stevie Visionz together what do you
get? A rare mix of producers called ReKaSte aka R.K.S Music Group.
Coming from New York City, these three separate producers with their
distinct styles came together on the campus of Hampton University as
Music Engineering Technology majors. Well into their third year at
Hampton University, these friends began blending their different
musical styles together creating a style that seems to fuse different
genres of music together in a way that is very attractive to the ear.
Being inspired by artists such as J*Davey, Stevie Wonder, and Kanye
West, the diversity in ReKaSte’s musical styles is exemplified in the
individual styles of each producer. Producer Allen “Stevie Visionz”
Hargrove initially creates an inspired progression of chords that
automatically sets the mood and/or motion for track. D.J. Kal combines
his style of percussion that ultimately gives the track the bounce
that it needs. Producer Leaveil “Recipe” Armstrong finally brings
forth a total musical aspect by creating fill-ins, instrumental
layering, and complete arrangements for songs. This in turn helps
shape the final sound of an R.K.S track.
