Dangerflow brings its hip-hop beat to the crowd with a cocktail of live drums, funky guitars, and jazzy horns. Led by both a conscious wordsmith and soulful vocalist, the danceable sound doesn't come without substance. The group makes sure to include an uplifting and inspiring message in nearly every song.
Dangerflow has been perfecting its signature sound since 2007 and is currently in the studio recording their first album. Furthermore, the band has been using their music to affect social change. They have been invited to perform at the United States Conference on HIV/ AIDS and have been collaborating with Miami’s urban youth agencies to inspire young artists and activists. Dangerflow’s accomplishments were formally recognized when they received the Miami New Times 2009 Best Caribbean Band Award. Currently, Dangerflow is collaborating with the Miami Heat in providing music & video for Miami Heat TV. In addition, Miami Heat fans will be able to see a video of Dangerflow at the American Airlines Arena during every home game of the 2009-2010 NBA season.

This EP marks a step into the forefront; a milestone from fear of scrutiny or failure. Produced entirely alongside my crew, Miami Beat Wave, it symbolizes a journey beginning with a leap of faith, and resulting in a compilation of work that embodies a year's worth of collaborative effort, struggle, and sacrifice.
These songs are heart and soul, mixed in with a little ingenuity and a lot of creative influence. On behalf of myself and MBW, we present the Leap Year EP. - St. LaRok
Come out and show some love for Monkey Village this Friday at Tobacco Road in Miami! We'll be celebrating our 22nd compilation of local music since 2005.

- The Monkey Village (MV) will be releasing their Twenty-second (22nd) compilation CD entitled Black and White at Tobacco Road (626 South Miami Avenue) on Friday, December 18, 2009.
The Monkey Village All-Stars, a rotating ensemble comprised of artists from the catalogue, will be performing select tracks from the new release, as well as tracks from past compilations.
In the past five years, the Monkey Village has released 4 different sets of compilations, 22 CDs in all: Family Fruit (2005, 6 CDs), Elements (2006, 4 CDs), Phases (2007, 4 CDs), Dimensions (2008, 4 CDs) and now the series of Colors, “Black & White” being the fourth of four for the year. The compilations run the gamut in styles; from the radio-friendly pop of Deblois to the IDM-like complexity of Nomatico Simpatico. All forms of musical expression are encouraged
The Monkey Village is a Miami-based collective comprised of musicians, visual artists and spoken word artists, with small branches in San Francisco, California and Asheville, North Carolina. Their main focus is to highlight the talent in the local underground scene, providing local artists an alternative avenue of expression.
