FROM THE FAMED STREETS OF LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA COMES THE GOODFEATHERS, A FIVE MAN RAP ACT BRED FROM VARYING DEGREES OF HIP HOP EXPERIENCES. BASED IN LOS ANGELES AND BEING FORGED FROM SOME OF THE MOST PROLIFIC GROUPS TO GRACE THE RAP SCENE, THE GOODFEATHERS STAND TRIED AND TESTED READY FOR THE NEXT PHASE OF THEIR EVOLUTION. FORMED IN THE SUMMER OF 2007 BUT HAVING A TRACK RECORD DATING BACK TO '97, THE MEMBERS OF THIS GROUP HAVE BECOME ADEPT TO THE EVERCHANGING SOUND THAT MAKES GOOD MUSIC IN HIP HOP A NECESSITY. WITH A PERSISTANCE THAT BORDERS ON PHOBIA THE GOODFEATHERS KEEP LYRICAL CONSISTANCY WITH PASSION CREATING A VIBE THATS ENERGETIC AND HIGH POWERED DIRECTED TOWARD THE MATURE PARTY GOING CROWD WHO APPRECIATES MUSIC THAT MOVES AND RISES WITHOUT RETURNING TO EARTH. SEAMLESSLY BLENDING STREET BRAVADO WITH ARTISTIC CREATIVITY THE GOODFEATHERS RAISE THE BAR FOR WHAT CAN BE CATORGORIZED AS "SWAGGER" IN THE GENRE OF HIP HOP MUSIC. DAWNING THE CLASSIC ESSENCE OF "THERE'S STRENGTH IN NUMBERS" TYPE OF MENTALITY THE GOODFEATHERS BOAST A FIVE MAN MCEE IDENTITY THAT GIVES PRESEDENCE TO THE IDEAOLOGY OF MORE IS BETTER. WITH A DIVERSITY THAT CAN ONLY BE LABELED AS PLENTIFUL AND ENIGMATIC THESE FIVE MCEES HAVE BROUGHT TOGETHER AN UNPARALLED SEQUENCE OF RHYTHMIC COLABORATIONS THAT EASILY APPEASE AND COMPENATES ALL THOSE LOOKING FOR AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE MUNDANE AND REPETITIVE NATURE OF MOST OF THE ARTISTS EMERGING ON THE CULTURE OF HIP HOP TODAY.
THE MEMBERS OF THIS GROUP DON'T VARY IN DEGREES OF AGE AS MUCH AS THEY DO IN THEY'RE LYRICAL IDENTITIES AND RHYME DELIVERY.
FIRST THERE'S FOE-TEEN KERRAT, THE HIGH POWERED MENTALLY SUBVERSIVE B-BOY WHOSE LYRICS TEND TO BE INTENTIONALLY FOCUSED ON PROVOKING THE LISTENER TO HAVE TO PLAYBACK WHAT WAS JUST VOCALLY DISPLAYED. NOT THAT HE'S NOT CLEAR WITH HIS DELIVERY, BUT DUE TO THE WAY THIS MCEE STYLES THE VOCAL PERCEPTION OF A REALITY THAT SEEMS MORE COMPLEX AS HIS VERSE COMPLETES IT'S COURSE. NO WONDER HE'S ALSO BEEN DUBBED "THE ILL PSYCOTIC".
NEXT UP IS THE MAN THEY CALL BIG LOOT, A "SWAGGA MASTER" OF SORTS WITH A VOICE BOX THAT DELIVERS AN AGGRESSIVE BUT MELODIC RHYME STYLE WITH AN IMMENSE APPEAL. BIG LOOTS AGGRESSIVE STREET SAVVY , LOVE OF THE PARTY ATMOSPHERE, ADDICTION TO STUDIO MIC BOOTHS AND THE OPPOSITE SEX SEEM TO DRIVE THIS MCEES IDEOLOGY.
THIRD IN THE LINE UP IS ZAGU BROWN, THE ECLECTIC LYRICAL ENTHUSIAST WHOSE BATTLE EXPERIENCES AND HOOD STRUGGLE TAKE FRONT AND CENTER STAGE IN HIS RHYME DELIVERY. ALSO KNOWN AS "THE METAPHOR MASTER". THIS LYRICIST LIVES UP TO ALL THAT WOULD BE EXPECTED OF AN ARTIST WHO HAS BEEN THRU MANY TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS IN THE SHOW ARENA.
NEXT UP IS THE YOUNGEST MEMBER OF THE GROUP, D.A.P., AN UNDENIABLE MENTAL FORCE THAT EXERTS ITSELF FROM THE SECOND HIS VOCAL TONE REACHES THE AIRWAVES. PULLING FROM HIS EXPERIENCES OF STRUGGLE AND SURVIVAL ON THE HEATED STREETS OF LOS ANGELES D.A.P. BRINGS A CONSISTANT EMBLEMATIC PERSPECTIVE TO THE VIBE OF THE GROUP, CREATING IDEAS AND RYTHMS THAT IDENTIFY SOME OF THE GOODFEATHERS MOST REVERED SONGS.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST IS THE MCEE KNOWN AS NOE BRAINZ, AN ABOMINABLE FORCE OF NATURE WITH A STYLE THAT CONTAINS A PROVERBIAL INTELLECT THAT INDOCTRINATES A HYBRID OF A HIKU AND HOOD JUSTICE. ALSO BEING A NATIVE OF BELIZE THIS MCEE IS KNOWN TO PULL OUT ALL THE STOPS WHEN RECITING ONE OF HIS MOST PROLIFIC CHANTS "HOW MANY MAN YOU ARE GWON MURDA, BEFORE YOU BECOME AN OUTLAW LIKE THE ONE JESSE JAMES!"
THE GOODFEATHERS STEADINESS DOESN'T JUST GET STAGNANT ONCE THEY LEAVE THE MIC BOOTH, EFFORTLESSLY BRINGING THEY'RE HIGH POWERED SOUNDS TO ANY STAGE THATS ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE ONSLAUGHT. WITH ENUFF ENERGY TO LIGHT UP A SMALL CITY THESE FIVE MCEES DELIVER A LIVE PERFORMANCE THATS COMPARABLE TO A LANDSLIDE OR A TSUNAMI, PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES OF EVEN THE MOST HIGH TECH SOUND SYSTEM. AND BY ENLISTING THE UNCANNY EXPLOITS OF THEY'RE DJ ,MINO,THE LIKELYHOOD OF AN ENCORE IS MOST EVIDENT. WITHOUT MISSING A BEAT THIS RAP ACT DELIVERS AN UNQUESTIONABLE SONG SELECTION THAT MAKES EVEN THE MOST STAUNCH HIP HOP CRITIC REVERBERATE THEY'RE APPRECIATION OF WHAT HAS BEEN DISPLAYED. THIS GROUP EASILY DEMONSTRATES THE ABILITY TO CREATE AN ATMOSPHERE THAT ALMOST INSTANTLY EXPLODES WITH EXCITEMENT AND ANTICIPATION OF AN AUTHENTIC HIP HOP EXPERIENCE. WITH UNDENIABLE DEDICATION THE GOODFEATHERS DELIVER A LIVE PERFORMANCE THAT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS "WHAT HIP HOP'S BEEN MISSING" AND "PROFESSIONAL".
WITH A FOCUS ON MAKING MUSIC THAT REACHES ACROSS ALL BOUNDARIES BY APPEALING TO A MORE MATURE LISTENING CROWD, THE GOODFEATHERS DELIVER THEIR FIRST ALBUM DUBBED "PUSH DOWN AND TURN". A MIXTURE OF STREET ANTHEMS AND PARTY SONGS THAT BRING A PERSPECTIVE OF GOOD TIMES AND GOOD MUSIC THAT HASN'T BEEN EXPOSED SINCE THE EARLY DAYS OF HIP HOP. THE RYHME STYLES AND TRACKS ON THIS ALBUM BLEND TOGETHER LIKE TAPESTRY AND THE END RESULT IS A MIXTURE THAT GIVES THE GOODFEATHERS A PROJECT THAT IS BOUND FOR REVERENCE IN THE FUTURE OF THE HIP HOP WORLD. SONGS THAT STAND OUT AND DESERVE MENTION ARE "GET UP ON IT", A STREET ANTHEM THAT BEGS TO BE DANCED TO,"WILDIN' OUT", A CLUB BANGER THAT WOULD MAKE ANY DJ ECSTATIC, "HIGH AND FLY", ONE FOR THE GANJA LOVERS TO SMOKE TO, "ETERNAL", A DARK BUT ENERGY FILLED JAM THAT HAS A CLASSIC HOOD ASPECT, AND "BOUNCE", AN INSTANT PARTY STARTER. FOR THEIR FIRST OUTING THE GOODFEATHERS PUSH THE LINE ON CREATIVITY AND ORIGINALITY WITH AN ALBUM THAT IS WORTHY OF CONSTANT PLAYBACK.
