Description:
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. On Composition 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 recall Cypress 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 upbea

Album Description
Composition No. 1 is the debut album from the hip hop crew L.A. Symphony. This CD embodies the creativity and energy that separates LA Symphony from so many of its contemporaries. The tracks are full of life, movement, and meaning. As lyricists, the members are realistic in approach to their lives as hip hop artists in Los Angeles and exercise a dynamic range of subject matter. The sounds are similar to that of the Native Tongues, the Pharcyde, Black Eyed Peas, CookBook & UNO Mas, and FLYNN.
