It is said that the path to success is the road less traveled and Bear Witnez prides himself on refusing to walk the beaten path. Born in Washington D.C. and raised in Maryland, Bear Witnez is one of the most respected Hip Hop artists in the DC-MD-VA area (aka DMV). Performing alongside legendary acts (such as Nas, 50 Cent, Timbaland, and Gangstarr), Bear Witnez has made a name for himself amongst the hip hop circuit. In late 2001, Bear Witnez released his single "Can I Get That?" to general success (peaking at #8 on the Billboard Hot Rap Singles chart and also held a spot on the Billboard Hot 100). Stepping away from music for a few years to deal with "real life" only set the stage for Bear to make his triumphant return. If his current offerings (Bear Season, The WitneZWinter EP & regional smash single "I'm A Hustler") are any indication...BEAR WITNEZ IS HERE TO STAY!

How does one stay true to who they are, in an industry where conforming seems to be popular? Truthfully this is not a difficult feat, though many find it hard to accomplish. If you want to know how this can be done, simply ask Radamez. He realized early that he couldn't be everything to everyone, so he opted to stay true to himself and created from his soul. The result … each release ( The Unexplained, Innovative, & Experience The Experiment: Valium One Mix Tape) has been in high demand, causing his fans and critics to wonder, "What's next?".
Radamez, born Ramel Joseph Williams, has just released his best body of work to date. On Experience the Experiment: Valium One, Radamez invites you into his lab and forces you to take notice of his versatility. He demonstrates how to remain an individual, while spitting lyrics of substance and riding a 'hot' beat. This piece of work is already bearing comparisons to that of Common's "Electric Circus" and Mos Def's "The New Danger".
Radamez prides himself on making music of substance which has not gone unnoticed. At the ASCAP Expo 2009 his song The Archeologist, from his album Innovative, was chosen for the Hip-Hop panel out of thousands of entries. He draws a great deal of inspiration from Jay-Z and Lauryn Hill, which has enabled him to bring a certain level of consciousness to his music. He writes lyrics as if he were asking himself, "How can I feed the hip-hop nation?".
Though the story of his life reads like a book, shared by many, it is his execution of life that distinguishes him from others. The many life lessons learned while growing up in Carona Queens, New York are expressed in his music. Radamez is not to be mistaken for one of those artists who speak on subject matter, in which they are not familiar … He lives his lyrics. His music chronicles his life from New York to Kansas, where he earned a B.S. in Psychology to Indianapolis, where he is currently a firefighter and where his musical career has begun to soar.
An artist first, Radamez is also owner of Team Triumph Publishing Company. His music is very important to him and this is apparent to his fans and critics across the country. Once he reaches his level of satisfaction, as an artist, he plans to venture off into other facets of the entertainment industry. Radamez is making things happen and is an exceptional example of how you can stay real and still receive admiration and accolades from the masses.
