About Scheme

From within the inner city streets of Chicago, beyond the daily commute of the 9 to 5ers, and amongst the sound of the music blaring in the streets comes' an artist with a brand new outlook on Hip Hop music; Scheme. Scheme is a vivid writer with a story to tell and an uncanny talent to point out with precision the realities of life. In 2006, with the help of the Molemen, Scheme delivered his first full length album, For My People, which was received extremely well by the local Chicago scene, as well as worldwide. The album was infused with hard beats and heart-felt lyrics from the perspective of a young man from Chicago's inner city. With production by Panik, PNS, Memo, Mike Slugs, 21 Grams, and others, For My People became Scheme's entrance into Hip Hop. He followed it up with two mixtapes; one with Visual (This Is Now) and one with Astonish and Decay (The Biz Vol. 1). Both mixtapes were praised as great pieces of work, which helped Scheme catapult himself further into the Hip Hop scene. In 2009, Scheme released The Manifesto EP which garnered a lot of praise from fans and critics. With an appearance from Jean Grae and production from the Sound Merchants, the EP reached the world and made an incredible impact on Scheme's music career. The video for the song "Chicano" aired on MTV Jams and has gained Scheme a lot of attention on an international level. Now, in the year 2010, Scheme has kept his momentum going by dropping yet another project; Same Rebel, New Cause (Mixtape) which was presented by Soul Assassins, Molemen, Ruby Hornet, and 2dopeboyz. He has also followed that release with; Same Rebel, New Cause (Deluxe Edition), which features new songs, and new collaborations with Mikkey Halsted, Emilio Rojas, Add-2, Astonish, and more. He's performed alongside; Lupe Fiasco (Atlantic Records), Crucial Conflict, Big KRIT (Def Jam), L.E.P., Vado (Diplomats), Vakill (Molemen Inc.), Cool Kids, Juice, RhymeFest, Naledge (Duck Down Records), Qwel (Galapagos 4), Glue (Fatbeats Records), DJ A-Trak (Kanye West DJ), Fat Lip (Pharcyde), Zion I, The Grouch, Mac Lethal (Rhymesayers Ent.), POS (Rhymesayers Ent.), Psalm One (Rhymesayers Ent.), MF Doom, and many more. Everything is finally falling into place for Scheme. Hard work and talent is undeniable. Expect nothing less than greatness from this young artist.
