Run DMC was a great way to introduce listeners to the music of the day. Run DMC was a good sample but Loyola's own Mental Metropolis serves up the main course. With their debut CD Multiple Dimensions getting rave reviews around the Big Easy. Mental Metropolis has been performing for packed shows, and opening for big names such as Kermit Ruffins and Iris May Tango and is certain to take the hip-hop scene by storm. They've already cut a track in New York for an album due out early next year.
Music is a sign of the times.
Each decade has a groove, a lyric, a song. The years and the resonance of each track mix together creating lasting memories. At the start of the century the blues were pouring souls across America. But in the '80s the sounds of R.E.M., U2 and Prince drowned them all out. Probably, a tale of the thumping bass of hip-hop.
