Composition No.1
A new and vital hip-hop crew is born with this set, and their name is LA Symphony. The group represents a united effort of nine diverse MCs and one DJ gathered from all corners of the Los Angeles scene. OnComposition No. 1, the slinky, melodic vocal deliveries of these immensely engaging MCs seamlessly intertwine around tight beats, deep bass grooves, and innovative sounds. With the hard-hitting, drop-beat-laden "San Diego", LA Symphony recallCypress Hill; only where the Hill tread on the dark side--albeit the humorous quarter of the dark side--with their rhymes of Glocks and bongs, LA Symphony lean toward the upbeat and even jubilant.Composition No. 1is downright fun without veering intoDe La Soulterritory, and in this day of too many self-important rappers and MCs, it's a welcome breath of fresh air.--Michael Wells
