i love being a b-boy

crown city rockers has been a new favorite of mine since junior year at cal. i would see them perform around campus often. at some point, i picked up their latest album earth tones, which gets heavy rotation by me. if you don't know, crown city rockers is a hip hop band complete with a dope girl on the keyboards, drummer, and bassist (both upright bass and bass guitar). they blend their jazzy sound with hip hop seemlessly. i've seen em live a buncha times and everytime i do, i leave inspired to attempt to teach myself how to play something (the feeling never gets far).


anyway, my favorite track of theirs is easily "b-boy." awhile back, i heard talks somewhere of a remix coming with zion i and the grouch. the track finally came out, and it's HOT. not only are the grouch and zion i on it, but planet asia, mystic, and chali 2na from j5 bless it as well. talk about some of cali's finest. check it out at www.myspace.com/crowncity. and if someone finds somewhere to download it, please let me know.
