Nobody! We're here to change how you listen to hip hop!
Although hip-hop is the most vibrant and lively music in the world, it’s ironically missing one crucial element: live music. Enter AFAR. With artists like Outkast, Ludacris and Lil’ Jon dominating the pop charts, Atlanta hip-hop has become the soundtrack of America. Now, Atlanta-based hip-hop band AFAR is defining the sound of hip-hop, one that is quickly dominating the musical landscape. AFAR , is sonically complete--a five piece band including members with rock, jazz, gospel, and r&b backgrounds--and rightfully so. When you think of the music of hip-hop, you think of a confluence of genres. The ear recalls the rock guitar driven soundscapes of Rick-Rubin produced Run-DMC or Jay-Z sampling The Doors for “The Takeover”. You savor the jazzy piano behind the best of A Tribe Called Quest or Common. The gospel sonics supporting Mary J. Blige and the r&b grooves of The Neptunes. Imagine all of these styles melding in one song, one band. That is AFAR music.
The band is busy recording songs to follow up its eponymous CD and music for a UPN series, bringing excitement to the atmosphere of Phillips Arena as the house band for the Atlanta Hawks, playing gigs throughout the country with AFAR. lyricist Jahah, and even backing up other rappers, the way The Roots did for Jay-Z’s Unplugged concert. Besides live music, AFAR combines two other concepts that are often woefully absent from hip-hop: unity and education. The five members conduct workshops at schools in the metro Atlanta area and abroad that teach children that in this era of electronic music, the source of it all is live instrumentation. And it gets no more basic, fundamental, nor utterly essential than AFAR . Indeed, AFAR is here to school all listeners on how real hip-hop music sounds.
