Giant Panda
Hip-Hop
Giant Panda, still a symbol of remembering traditions without forgetting progression, is composed of childhood friends Newman and Maanumental (hailing from Seattle) and Chikaramanga (a Tokyo native), with their foundation based out of Los Angeles, CA. The trio's name is simply an analogy to their ethnic and cultural make-up: what else do you call a group made up of white, black, and Asian guys? The first single released was "88 Remix"... more
Lacunae

Drift
Hip-Hop
"so do we pass the ghosts that haunt us later in our lives; they sit undramatically by the roadside like poor beggars, and we see them only from the corners of our eyes, if we see them at all.
The idea that they have been waiting there for us rarely if ever crosses our minds. Yet they do wait, and when we have passed, they gather up their bundles of memory and fall in behind, treading in our footsteps and catching up, little... more
Nightmares On Wax
hip-hop breakbeats
“Today’s music is inspired by whatever has gone on before. That’s what fascinates me. Soul music is the earliest form of hip hop. That’s why I want to create it. It might seem like recreating what was done in the past, but what I want to do is merge soul and hip hop together. That’s why I’ll bring in the live aspect of what happened back then into current hip hop trends. That’s the angle I’m... more

KELLYBOY
Hip-Hop
Yes it's me, KB. I’ve stepped out of the booth as for now to tighten up my songwriting and production skills. Though I do miss the allure of the game, it’s not what I’m on right now. I have a poetry book about to be published intitled "To Know Is To Love", and a slew of songs submitted to BMI for publishing as well. So yes, I’m still on my grind. But fret not because I still have a few tricks up my sleeve and will... more
