		Daddy Kev (born July 22, 1974 in Los Angeles) is a prolific producer, recording engineer and record label owner who has contributed to hundreds of musical recordings in the underground hip-hop genre.
		Kev also produced records by Naptron and Alien Nation, most of the songs characterized by fusing rap with sci-fi samples.

	Awol One & Daddy Kev: Slanguage: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		This thing puts freestyles (of sorts) atop free jazz (of sorts), the ambient, funky, brushed-drum goop of Daddy Kev with the slow rasp of Awol One, whose voice has the tone of a chainsmoker robbed of all gumption by constricted bloodflow and caked-over arteries.
		Daddy Kev stirs classical music into his highly thumping palette of beats, and he's adept at choosing the most beautiful and bombastic cuts.
		This time around, the experiment mostly crapped out, and Daddy Kev's fantastically freaky psychedelic genius free-jazz funky classical hybrid is left to wipe up all the ass.

	Reviews: AWOL One & Daddy Kev - Souldoubt
		Daddy Kev is a rising star in the world of hip-hop production with fresh beats with an impressive resume of artists he's done beats for: Busdriver, Dose One, Mikah 9, Sole, and others.
		Daddy Kev's best work is shown on "Content." The incredibly complex drum loop changes consistently, making the beat a delight for a drum fan like myself.
		Daddy Kev has gone beyond that and found a way to lay down a dope track that isn't complicated but sure as anything will get your head nodding.

	Pro Techniques from Daddy Kev (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Daddy Kev co-founded the popular Celestial Recordings, and produced many of the label's classic hip-hop records at his Echo Chamber Studios.
		Kev explains that he builds his own custom grids for each song by placing markers by hand within a given groove or loop.
		Once Kev realizes he's going to keep a certain part, he clones it and pastes it with the markers intact before moving on to build another element in the track.

		Awol One and Daddy Kev are back together to follow up the underground hits, “Souldoubt” (Mean Street) and “Number 3 on the Phone” (Records Broken) with "Slanguage", their hip-hop take on free jazz.
		Daddy Kev has crafted a fifty-minute soundscape using minorkeyed pianos, brushed drums, stand-up bass, and jazz guitars over methodically programmed beats and the virtuoso turntable manipulation of D-Styles.
		Awol One, Daddy Kev, and D-Styles are three of the most respected artists of the underground hip hop scene.

	Awol One and Daddy Kev: Slanguage - PopMatters Music Review
		The atmosphere is that of a place where artists feel solitary and at peace enough to just get in a zone and create, where they can turn off the self-critique part of their brains and just let their feelings and ideas manifest themselves in music.
		With Slanguage, Awol One and Daddy Kev are both making an obvious attempt to steer away from the conventions of their music and just let themselves go.
		Daddy Kev's music is the album's foundation, and its most overtly progressive element.

	Daddy Kev :: Lost Angels E.P. :: Celestial Recordings
		All of these words could be accurately used to describe beatsmith Daddy Kev.
		If you already knew and liked his work with Daddy Kev on the "Souldoubt" album, this will be right up your alley.
		For this reviewer it's a pleasant trip down the light fantastic, but a few points are deducted from Daddy Kev's E.P. for beats that while functional actually seem to be less than up to his true potential.

		There's something about the LA streets layout that needs freestyling navigation as you go from A to B. The originally concepted capacity for the junctions and ramps long met, in the 24 hours of rush hour each day, trying to move faster than walking pace, demands an ability for a quick thinking of alternative routes.

		Producer Daddy Kev's first album Lost Angels is a perfect representation of this diversity.
		Combined with Daddy Kev's beats, these emcees proceed to rip the mic in five distinct styles.
		Kev makes this release a perfect L.A. underground introduction by keeping it short and not overwhelming the listener with 20-plus tracks of oddity.

	Celestial Records - Label Profile - Stylus Magazine
		This is best exemplified on Daddy Kev's Lost Angels EP- a cohesive work that complements five MCs of drastically differing styles.
		As if that wasn’t enough, all of the album art was overseen by Daddy Kev and co-produced by graf artist Mear One, reflecting the edginess and risk taking Celestial came to be associated with - a consistency that hasn't been duplicated until Def Jux.
		While most of the artists that first garnered attention on the label are still flourishing, it is doubtful that a single label will provide so many off-kilter hip-hop gems in such a short period of time again.

	Big Dada Busdriver
		Originally conceived as a soundtrack to a film he never made, Busdriver hooked up with super-producer Daddy Kev (formely main man at Celestial Recordings and general production giant) and D-Styles (Invizbl Skratch Piklz and Beat Junkies), and invited us to take a closer look at the “Cosmic Cleavage”.
		His 2002 self-released album “Temporary Forever” made it into many underground hip hopper’s records of the year (with the Village Voice describing his rap styles as “a syncopated giggle”) and it was closely followed by his collaboration with producer Daedalus and Radioinactive as The Weather on Mush.
		Here, Daddy Kev continues the sonic experiments that pushed his “Slanguage” album with Awol One almost into the relams of free jazz, with D-Styles proving once again that he’s amongst the most imaginative turntablists in the world.

		The journey continues with ‘So Familiar’, a head-nodding beat backed up by some tight drum scratches and another strong lyrical showcase from AWOL, this time on the subject of the Golden State.
		If this is the sound of California this summer, then I’m turning my flat into a little piece of the Golden State and infecting East London.
		Beyond showing that Kev & AWOL have still got what it takes to deliver unique and appealing music, ‘Killafornia’ shows that hip hop doesn’t need to cater to the mainstream to remain a creative, entertaining musical genre.

	Montreal Mirror - Music : Busdriver
		Busdriver is one of those artists who, in the footsteps of Freestyle Fellowship and Project Blowed, is busting things wide open with a barrage of lyrics and well-executed storytelling for any head that will listen.
		Along with producers like Daddy Kev, Daedelus and Paris Zax, this MC has proven again and again that he's got a lot to say.
		Daddy Kev did all the music and D-Styles did all the cuts and it's cool, but I'm still working on something else.

	MusicDish Industry e-Journal
		Awol One takes on vocals and lyrics, while Daddy Kev produces and arranges (which must mean he's the composer, eh?).
		Kev has a way of spitting out deep beat against interesting orchestral loops that cause even those of us who aren't into hip hop to go away from the cut bleeding and whistling.
		As with rap and hip hop, if the lyrics are printed in the book, it would weigh it down for shipping.

	Ink 19 :: Awol One and Daddy Kev (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		With artists like Bus Driver and Radio Inactive, Reaching for Quiet and now Awol One and Daddy Kev, this Dirty Loop subsidiary is really putting in serious effort to expand the boundaries of hip-hop (which now I see they're calling their music "American Made Free Jazz-Hop," now it all makes sense).
		And, just like their free-jazz progenitors, you definitely have to be in the right frame of mind for Slanguage and a lot of other Mush releases.
		Awol and Daddy Kev refuse to let you sit back and head nod, and you definitely can't cruise down the street and let the Bose vibrate.

		Over the spirited and distinctively indirect production of Daddy Kev "Slanguage" tick-tocks comfortably like an afternoon spent with the local jazz enthusiast in his den.
		You sit and listen to the creek-like tinkle of the pianos while he pulls record after record after record from the cabinet just below where he keeps the vermouth.
		Yes, Awol will make you a tape of the afternoon like a proper host, and yes, "you"re gonna find out it"s an audio bible, but, um, it smells like pee.

	* Dusted Reviews - Awol One and Daddy Kev / Fat Jack *
		Self destructive behavior...” vs. “I get drunk, and make beautiful things fight each other.”) In fact, the entire album follows the pattern laid out by Souldoubt: good beats, upbeat for the most part, interspersed with a few introspectively melancholy songs that are a bit more topic-driven.
		Ironically, Slanguage, the Mush records-sponsored reunion of Awolrus and Daddy Kev, is a dramatic departure from that sound, and one that leaves Propaganda looking damn near amateurish in retrospect.
		In fact, its complexity and cohesiveness easily outstrips any of the previous albums on which Awol has appeared — this is an album that has more in common with Dose-one and Boom-Bip’s Circle or Sixtoo’s Duration than it does with other Awol releases.

		Owners Hive and Daddy Kev established Celestial Recordings in June 1998 when they released the hip-hop single “Zimulated Experiencez,” which they produced for Phoenix Orion.
		They intended the record as just a one-off release, but thanks to its success, Hive and Daddy Kev quickly became involved with running their own record company.
		According to Kev, this is one of the biggest mistakes they can make.
