Eugene Allen III, also known as Etare Neged, is a talented artist from Chicago. Growing up, Etare Neged was always a lover of hip-hop music and always had a strong connection to it. This love carried him through high school and into college until he stopped playing football. This is when Etare Neged was created. He heard an industrial track through the floor of his duplex and saw this as a calling to write his own music. He used football as an outlet for his feelings and his aggression throughout his life, and since he stopped playing, he decided to use his calling to write music to channel these emotions. When getting started in music he would write lyrics to industrial tracks like the one that first inspired him and those were the darkest and most dreadful lyrics he ever wrote. During this time, he had a solid group of people he worked with, and they ended up getting distribution for the indie label that had a hand in creating. Unfortunately, this group broke up and sent him down a different path. He began recording at home studios but started to get sick of relying on others for beats, so he learned to produce his own tracks. A near-death experience launched him into action and he recorded his first solo album titled “The Introduction of Mau Fatt the Rotgut” in 2008.
He has since grown exponentially and owns his own independent label, OverHorde Entertainment, Inc. He learned early on that not everyone had his best interest in mind when working with him as an artist, which has given him a love/hate relationship with the business of music. This has also caused Etare Neged to become independent in many stages of music and is able to write, perform, and produce all of his own music. He has worked with Sonic Palace Studios in Chicago to record, mix, and master his last 4 albums. Etare Neged has been able to connect with some like-minded individuals online and form a collective known as Atlantix Army who helped him release 3 albums in 5 years.
Etare Neged recently released “The Sound of Hell’s Winter” on February 2, 2022, which was a huge hit among his fans. He also has many projects in the works and plans to release visuals this coming spring. Etare Neged is a talented creator who has a unique vision he is excited to share with his fans. He wants everyone to know there is a light shining in the vast darkness and he is the path to reach it.
