Colorado Hip-Hop Rockies Remixed” by Tom Murphy… by Cairn Magazine
Cairn Magazine, Colorado’s Cultural Guidepost, Fall 2006. Article- “Colorado Hip-Hop Rockies Remixed” by Tom Murphy… P.14 - “Mingus Fine, a member of Rogue Sound, a band known for its musical eclecticism, had this to say, ‘We see Rocky Mountain Hip-hop groups playing with banjos and fiddles and we use a lot of horns and really feature our love for electric guitar. Not to mention [ the fact that] we have so many Spanish lyrics. Latin and Native influences are strong in Colorado and we think that shows in our music.’ “ P.14 - “…Perhaps Rogue Sound’s rich blend of jazz, funk, and hip-hop will strike the fancy of wider and wider audiences.”

Ethnomusicology Field Work Project - by 2006 College Essay
Ethnomusicology Field Work Project - Comparing Reggae and Hip-hop, by Katie Couch P.12 – “We also talked to Rogue Sound, a local band from Boulder whose music is an interesting combination of hip-hop-influenced reggae as opposed to reggae-influenced hip-hop. The guitarist and MC for this group, Mingus Fine, told us through emails that about two-thirds of their music is original, and cites a few hip-hop artists such as KRS-1 as well as many reggae artists (such as Bob Marley, Sizzla, and Burning Spear) as musical influences.”
