Black Violin

Kev Marcus and Wil B: Take The Stairs

Black Violin is an American hip hop duo from Florida comprising two classically trained string instrumentalists, Kevin Sylvester and Wilner Baptiste, who go by the stage names Kev Marcus and Wil B. Kev Marcus plays the violin, and Wil B. plays the viola.

For over a decade, the classical-meets-hip-hop duo has steadily built a devoted following and a diverse touring base— culminating in such triumphs as two sold-out shows at the Kennedy Center with the National Symphony Orchestra commemorating the 50^th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s death—while occupying a musical lane that’s entirely its own.

Here’s the lastest from their newly released alibum TAKE THE STAIRS.
