New York City is the rightful birthplace of many musical movements that have changed the sociocultural dynamic in decades past. Once again, NYC will bear witness to the musical evolution of Fragment Crew, a group that both embodies and revolutionizes 4 groundbreaking Latin genres in their own right – Hip-Hop, R&B, Reggae/Dancehall, and Reggaetón.



Fragment Crew features the musical stylings of hip-hop emcee Aro, R&B crooner Davon, Reggae Dancehall virtuoso Chico Navaja and is spearheaded by rising super producer/artist, Napoles. As former members of the first Latino group ever signed to Interscope Records’ both Napoles and Aro bring industry experience to the table, while simultaneously staying true to the streets.



“Our music reflects the diversity of our backgrounds – we incorporate ‘fragments’ of Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Jamaica and Cuba,” explains Napoles. In addition to the geographical fusion it undertakes, Fragment Crew strives to develop and maintain a high level of artistic integrity. “We also unite key elements of different genres of music. Each of us has been influenced by different music and we show this in our artistic delivery. ‘Fragment Crew’ is much more than our name. It symbolizes the direction in which we’re taking our music,” affirms Chico.



In July of 2007, Fragment Crew released its debut album, ANYTHING GOES, which features collaborations with today’s hottest rising talent in Latin music, such as Notch, Malverde, DJ Blass, Frank Nitty, and Chika. “We wanted to come out with something that would breathe new life into Latin urban music,” says Davon. The first single, Nunca Te Olvidaré, is already blazing up radio stations across the U.S. and abroad.



To further demonstrate the versatility of these 4 visionaries, Aro is slated to appear in the critically acclaimed independent film, THE STARTUP.



“Music is definitely my first love, but to be able to branch out and try something new is always a challenge I love to undertake,” comments Aro.



Indeed, Fragment Crew is making way for a new era of music – one in which ANYTHING GOES.
