Too many times people bang you in the head over and over about how incredible thier music is and when you do check it out, over half the time it's not worth your precious listening time. If you're into infectious, quality hip hop with solid lyrical content, THE GOOD PEOPLE are seriously worth checking, not to mention supporting!
Emskee (the mc) and The Saint (the producer) have recently joined forces to create a group that aims to satisfy the beat fiends, lyric listeners, dancers, and last but definitely not least, the ladies that support the hip hop movement.
Emskee, from the Lower East Side in NYC, has a storied history in the music game and is a well traveled dj who currently spins on the Underground Railroad radio show on WBAI 99.5fm every saturday night in New York City. He's most recently "melted" the mic on the now legendary international dance track "Let It Go" on Ten12 records (released last year) as a part of the TOGETHER BROTHERS collaboration which sold out quickly in Japan, England, and Sweden. His voice is commanding, yet soothing to the ear and grabs attention.
The Saint, a Long Island, New York native, is a low key personality who has produced many notable artists in his so far impressive career such as rappers J Live, Wordsworth, El Da Sensei, Asheru, and singer Vinia Mojica to name a few. He dropped his critically acclaimed debut album "Grown Folk Music" in 2004 and also has production credits for a handful of German rapper releases. Saint's style displays soulful influences and he's been known to carry some tunes or drop some quick rhymes on his projects from time to time.
THE GOOD PEOPLE's aim is to provide and maintain a high profile standard of awareness
on issues that confront us everyday but aren't readily talked about nearly enough. At the same time, they help you to keep focus with a variety of toe tapping, sore neck tracks that'll have you pushing that "repeat all play" option on your system. Hey, THE GOOD PEOPLE aint' bad at all.
