Double click1-Gee and Deeks or
Playya 1000 as they are better known are
international underground stars. They recently
performed a sold out show in Yokohama
/Tokyo Japan. People from Japan, Germany,
Canada, Australia and more have paid over
$500 per CD on Ebay for anything created or
produced by the duo. After taking a break from
the game, Playya 1000 returned with a new
passion and purpose and released ‘20/20
Vision’, a combination of the classic Playya
1000 G Funk mixed with a new school Dirty
South vibe.
“That album represented the natural
process of life, the older you get, the clearer you
see the game of life,” 1-Gee says. “It was and is
a very important rap CD because it is so street
relevant, but it accomplishes this without all the
drama or negativity. 20/20 Vision gives you the
reality of the streets, because it gives you the
real truth, that for every action there is a
reaction, be it good or bad the choice is yours.
The momentum gained from 20/20
Vision set the stage for the release of "Cover
Me I'm Going In" which picked up where 20/20
Vision left off, but was definitely more present
day ready. 20/20 Vision was a spearheaded by
a series of re-works of previous Playya 1000
releases. The "Cover Me" project featured the
heart felt powerful single "Mama" which has
received critical acclaim and some are saying is
worthy of a Grammy. The video for this song is
just as incredible and has been compared to
Tupac's 'Dear Mama".
That brings us to present day and their
new CD "Keep it 1000" This CD is packed
with singles. The first single and video, which is
an ode to success, entitled "Bout That Life" has
received great feedback from radio by reaching
an audience of over 2 million. The success of
"Bout That Life" set the stage for their 2nd
release "Go Play". This song is guaranteed to
get the party turnt up. This song has been called
the feel go record of the year and the response
has been incredible. The 3rd release "Noted' is
a present day out of control funk track mixed
with incredible lyrics and the next catch phrase
for the nation. When you are "Noted"
everybody knows your name. “Bout That Life”
,"Go Play" and "Noted" are all great songs and
deserve to be heard by the masses. 1-Gee and
Deeks also plan to shoot videos for most of the
songs on the "Keep It 1000" project. They feel
this is their best work yet and their songs tell
stories that need to be both seen and heard. The
dynamic duo will also continue their work with
youth via motivational performances, True
Emcee Challenges (which are rap contests
that challenge emcees to create verses with
no profanity or crazy content) and anything
that impacts the lives of people and enhances
their 20/20 Movement.
