NEWS: Danny Diablo (aka Lord Ezec) feat. Big Left, Cynic, Everlast, Sick Jacken, Tim Armstrong, Vinnie Paz - 'International Hardcore Superstar'

What happens when two immovable forces like the New York hardcore scene and the hip hop world collide? What does the intersection of the two very different, yet very similar genres look like? Look no further than Danny Diablo a.k.a. Lord Ezec. Diablo grew up in the Jackson Heights section of Queens, a backdrop that spawned pivotal bands like Gorilla Biscuits and Raw Deal. Diablo mixes the intensity and rage he absorbed from those early days of hardcore with the streetstrut beats of hiphop, a blend built through the years, first in his bands Crown of Thornz and Skarhead, and more recently as a solo artist with some heavy friends. Now comes Diablo's Hellcat debut, produced by label head Tim Armstrong, and with guest appearances by Armstrong, DJ Muggs (Soul Assasins,Cypress Hill), CeeKay (Shotblockers) Prince Powerrule/Metropolitan (Shotblockers), Sick Jacklyn (Psycho Realm/Sick Symphonies), and White Trash Rob (Blood For Blood/Ramallah). With Diablo's career peaking on many fronts – including a turn on the big screen in Charles Nordeen's The Crackdown – Danny Diablo is truly on his way to becoming the real International Hardcore Superstar.
