The Conscious Daughters

The Conscious Daughters blazed onto the music scene in 1993 with their bass-heavy hit, "Fonky Expedition (Something to Ride to)". Hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area, these female MCs shocked the airwaves with their hardcore "in-your-face" style of rhyming and a presence that wouldn't be ignored.
San Francisco rapper/activist Paris spotted them at a club where the daughters passed him a demo tape. He would take a chance on them and release their first album, "Ear to the Street" on his Scarface Records label. Ear to the Street displayed their hunger for success. Their outspoken and forward lyrics clearly expressed their concern for the well being and equality of women in this male-dominated world. The first single, "Fonky Expedition" hit the charts and blasted their album into the hundreds of thousands sold.
Soon after, they were picked up by Priority/EMI Records and released their second album "Gamers" to a hungry audience. Gamers sold over 300K and entered the Billboard chart with a bullet.



Gamers moved to street dominance very quickly, as the daughters got right back down to business with the heavy-bass pounding beats that their fans longed for. Soon after they would appear on a slew of compilations, most notably E-40s "Southwest Riders", and D-Shot's "Boss Ballin'". The daughters have been strong and relevant in the industry for over 10 years. In 2009, they released The Nutcracker Suite, yet another bass heavy album featuring touching tales of domestic violence, relationships, street crusin', and the ever dissolving companionship amongst women. Now in 2011, The Conscious Daughters are back in the studio recording a new album that is slated for release in September 2011. Now on their own independent label, Llerrad Records (pronounced "la-rod"), they are back with an appetite and hungry for yet another successful album, so brace yourselves for the explosion!
