Hip-hop
collective
L.A. Symphony is conducted by the combined creative energies
of eight MCs/producers (CookBook, FLYNN, bTwice, Joey the Jerk,
Sharlok Poems, UNO Mas, J-Beits, and Pigeon John) and one DJ (J
Boogie). All in their 20s, these nine create a musical landscape
as unique and charismatic as the City of Angels itself--not
surprising, considering that the members hail from such diverse
areas of Los Angeles as Long Beach, Inglewood, and Sherman Oaks
(just to name a few). Thought-provoking without taking
themselves too seriously, the members of L.A. Symphony tackle
relevant topics and personal subject matter with passion and
humor. This commitment to honest, thoughtful artistry places the
group among a growing number of hip-hop musicians focused on the
improvement of their craft and their culture. Labels and
categorizations aside, the simple fact is that L.A. Symphony
creates extraordinary hip-hop music. Period. "Whatever is on our
heart, we just speak it and try not to hold back," explains
Pigeon John. "We hope to connect with every listener, from the
14-year-old dude with a crush on a girl in Carson, to the
executive sniffing cocaine who wants to stop, to the little
cheerleader in Arkansas. We want them all to relate. We want it
to be that universal. We want to make a difference in somebody's
life by creating music that moves you."
