Jay Mak, HellnBack, Stomp, Drezus, Tomislav - Team Rezofficial |
Team Rezofficial does not only originate in one specific area but all over North America, the team consists of three MC's HellnBack (Karmen Omeasoo) from the First Nations surrounding Hobbema, Alberta, Drezus, (Jeremy Manitopyes) represents Saskatoon, Saskatchewan/Calgary, Alberta, and Tomislav (Tomislav Milardovic) from Winnipeg, Manitoba and two producers Jay Mak (Jason Makinaw) and Stomp (Tom Crier) like their partner they are from the First Nations surrounding Hobbema, Alberta.
Team Rezofficial's five members by no means hold back or stay to one sound, but exceed their sound to mix with other genres. Many young native's look up to Team Rezofficial's music like HellnBack's song "Stand Up" which is empowering natives as a culture and not only as a race.
The team started back in 2004 with producers Jay Mak and Stomp as a production duo then later recruited HellenBack then Drezus and Tomislav to hold down the MC duties. The team released two independent mixtapes "Hard Work And Hustle" and "Family First" then released two major label albums " "The Foundation" (Arbor/EMI Records) and the OST "Stryker" (Arbor/EMI Records). The team also dropped their latest album called "The World - And Everything In It". Four of Team Rezofficial's singles made it on MuchMusic's Rap City which are "Stand Up", "Just Bounce", "Lonely" and "Paper Music" and were on rotation regularly, which made them a force to be reckoned with.
Jay Mak And Stomp have also gone to work with Winnipeg's Most's "Northside Connections - mixtape" and the self titled "Winnipeg's Most" albums.
