Simple Citizens
A hype MC over a funky sample is the simple formula that makes even the most uncoordinated booty move. As a result, the live band has always been a rarity in hiphop. But when a group can approach hiphop from the needle’s groove, playing themselves like the tastiest sampling of funk, jazz, or reggae, with an MC who flows like cats did in hiphop’s golden age, then you find yourself permeated by a musical energy that is a rarity in itself. This is the energy of the Simple Citizens.
Anton, Sam, Jud, and Joe began playing together in 2001, and the group’s organic sound quickly awoke ears at respected Los Angeles hiphop shows like the Root Down, Bridges, and Soul Sessions. The group continued to tighten-up and strip-down their sound to the rawest groove, while Anton adeptly delivered everyday truth that continually resonated with listeners. In the fall of 2007, the Citizens brought Dan and his horns into the group’s sound and began preparing material for an album that would rub the sleep from the eyes of their listener’s minds.
With the dawning of 2008, the Simple Citizens went into the studio with a lineup both fresh and experienced, and a sound re imagined and classic. Early AM hours were spun away by tape reels, day jobs came and went, and autumn’s cool put the final touch on a recording process that began in winter. Just as the same sun rises on each new day, The Simple Citizens Present: Early Morning is a new approach to music grounded by the familiar warmth of old soul.

Soulutionaries
..
In the midst of a time where the music industry has turned into a fake ugly money making business, a band of brothers have come together to simply give you R E G G A E music. Not concerned with status, money, trends, or bling, the SOULUTIONARIES’ sole mission is to provide and share the irie vibrations of reggae music to the masses. After a few line-up changes, the Soulutionaries have found its core root of musicians to bring forth a revolution. Equipped with righteous melodies to fiery blazin’ dubs, the Soulutionaries are determined to battle and mash up the wicked mood Babylon has set upon us with such devastations as war, famine, and greed. So report to the dance hall, bring your dancing shoes, your good vibes, and nice up the dance to the positive reggae riddems of SOULUTIONARIES.
