Oakland hip-hop quartet BRWN BFLO makes it political
By Angela Woodall
BRWN BFLO is shaking up the music industry. In a world of black and white, they represent for brown—storytellers of the diverse Chicano experience and the struggles of indigenous people worldwide. GIANT, Jacinto, SOMOS ONE, and BIG DAN are the perfect mix of the old school and new school and are changing the face of contemporary hip hop music.
“The group offers an original, Latin-tinged take on hip-hop both lyrically and production wise. It’s a combination that will have you yellings ‘fresca!’, even if you don’t speak Spanish”. –SFWeekly.com
“BRWN BFLO is fun and energetic but always political with the intellectual creativity of old-school rappers like Afrika Bambaata”. – Oakland Tribune
“The exhilaratingly versatile skills of Giant, Jacinto, Somos One, and Big Dan launch this album out of the identity-rap rut into the "that shit's smokin'" stratosphere”. – SF Bay Guardian
“Their newest offering has underground content with mainstream appeal… You get the feeling that anything is possible when it comes to their dynamic appeal”. – Smokingsection.net
"The Oakland quartet shatters traditional hip-hop parameters like bulls in a fine china shop”. – Examiner.com
