From the State that has brought you Sugar Ray and Linkin Park , another hybrid group, ranging in ethnicity and ages, takes California hip-hop to another level (note the title ‘Another Evolution). No extended samples or remakes, this group of trained musicians, create their own spoken word, jazz, folk and hip-hop sound. Reminiscent of the Jazz era of Hip-Hop in the 90’s, DJ Monkey puts a developed rendition of hip-hop’s timeless sound to test.” Una Sola, Underlined Magazine Print Issue, Chicago                                            www.squidmusic.com/djmonkey               http://www.southbaymusicawards.com/Nominees.php ____________________________________________________________
