ekay (formerly known as Reem Ekay) is an unconventional artist that dubs herself as a Neo-Soul Rap-head and credits the likes of De La Soul, Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu and the Roots as some of her early influences.
Born into Hip-Hop and raised as a spoken word poet, ekay uses a freestyle approach when creating music and draws inspiration from her raw emotions as well as color.
Her creative approach and conceptual projects showcase her soulful sounds, strong lyricism and visual narratives
ekay just released her first project under Rogue City Entertainment, entitled “Shaolin’s Freestyle” produced by Zenden Lavon!
Her new release is a sultry soulful ode to the Wu-Tang Clan where the female might intertwines with the ruckus of love.
Track is produced by Zenden Lavon, Creative direction by ekay, Brought to life by Amir De Leon, Captured by Young Habiti, Featuring Cyrus Izibili, Mastered by J Ulster and Presented by Rogue City Entertainment

When asked about the single, ekay said "This all started with Zenden, me and a mic. He sent me a beat pack and the 3rd track immediately caught my attention. I started freestyling off the dome and the rest is history."
Zenden Lavon: "Loved working on the project . It was a lot of fun". I always enjoy putting on the producer's hat and creating music with other artists."
Zenden is also an incredible performer and someone who will have a huge impact in the near future. Catch the "Buckle Up" interview below.
I had to ask about Rogue City Entertainment and Lisa Tripp from RCE gave Re-Volt the below quote:
"..Marcus and I look to create a label that truly puts the artist first and becomes a household name in the music business on a global scale.
Right now we are working really hard to expand the careers of the 5 artists that we have. It takes a lot of time and dedication and we treat all artists like our family.
While we aren't signing any artists at the moment, we certainly will look to expand the family as the company continues to grow in its success."
Rogue City Entertainment as a label that focuses on management and artist development. ekay, Zirra and Zenden are part of that family and we are super excited for what is to come.
