Featured Producer and Montreal Trendsetter - The Billders Group

Who's putting Montreal, Canada on the effin map?  The Billders Group, that's who.  According to these fellas, so little sites expose local artists and producers & unfortunately, their so-called musical movement has yet to see the light in comparison to Toronto (their rising star; Kardinal Offishal).  

As emerging producers; we've been working with young talents in the City such as Swift Kid, Tru-Story, Ghetto Youths Ent in order to expand our musical horizons. With original fusions and approaches to Urban sound, 'HipHopCanada.com' gave us the status of "MTL'S Cool&Dre".

When The Billders Group agreed to do an exclusive interview with yours truly, I was ecstactic to say the least.  I appreciate what these guys are putting in work to accomplish for their side of the globe.  Here's a little more about them, ya know, just to get you acquainted with your competition.

Tell us about who you are and what it is you do.

Duo-Tang Productions consists of two brothers based in Montreal (Quebec) working in the Urban Scene for now 5 years. With their various musical fusions such as Electro/Jazz/Rnb, they provide to audiences around Canada and Europe a unique sound like non-other. As emerging producers, they have recently teamed up with 3 other friends in order to create a group called 'The Billders'; an organization willing to help local young talents expose themselves in shows and projects.

What are your goals for your personal life?
