Golden Brown

Bio:

CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO PURCHASE BOSTON HERALD REVIEW (OCT. '06) - This is for critical rap fans who claim there are no real producers and DJs in Boston or who think the Bean lacks lyricists. Over DJ On&On's vintage break beats, bump-worthy golden age instrumentals and banging originals, MC NODOZ tosses conscious raps that criticize MTV rap culture and pledge allegiance to true school values. Golden Brown doesn't have a chip on their shoulders...It's just the weight of the world, and NODOZ, D Money, and DJ ON&ON are here to paint the picture for you. Consisting of Boston's premier chief party rocka, ON&ON, production genius D Money, and legendary ghetto poet laurreate, NODOZ, Golden Brown offers an explosive combination of tthree masters at their own craft. The result? Unapologetic, unwavering, and relentless commentary from the viewpoint of three Hip Hop God's with a lifetime of hard knock life stories. NODOZ, Golden Brown's frontman, gained his legendary m.c. status as a third of the group OVM. Quickly gaining a cult-like following, NODOZ and his crew shared mic's with everyone from M.O.P. to Method Man, while rocking stadiums and selling thousands of units in vinyl sales, and their classic "Sin City EP." - No small feat for a local Boston threesome with a grass-roots approach to stardom. DJ ON&ON, Golden Brown's music man, has garnered worldwide notoriety as an electrifying crowd motivator. MTV, globe -trotting Spring Break appearances, Spin Magazine, and opening for everyone from Kanye West to Elephant Man attest to a storied career from "Beantowns Flavor King" who was Voted DJ Of The Year at Boston's 2007 Hip Hop Awards. D Money, Golden Browns producer, is the man responsible for the Golden Brown Sound. A Beantown turntable veteran, D Money has put in work at Sony Studios in New York working with everyone in the game from Swizz Beats to Mariah Carey. D Money defies being categorized and has the ability to produce bangers in any genre. Golden Brown live shows are highlighted by his show stopping mpc routines. Golden Brown's first offering to the masses is "Back To Live Action" - a 15 track composition penned with blood, sweat, and tears, accompanied with thorough breed boom bap ruggedness. ON&ON says, "Lyric for lyric, content for content, I've NEVER encountered any other mc that demands attention to what he's saying, and who paints a picture like NODOZ. I put him in a category with Ghostface, and A.G. He's an eerilly articulate cat who fully embraces topics dealing with street life, foul bitches, societal flaws, and the distinctions between real men, and posing little boys. He's a behemoth in the booth!" When asked to describe the "Golden Brown sound", the outspoken ON&ON replies... "All the breaks and samples you wish you had in your crate, original beats that make your neck snap off, and everything you mc's wished you could say. Park benches, chicken wings, Menthol cigarrettes, and Hennessy. Supportive black male role models, community unity, and self preservation. Keeping your eyes on the prize. Asking shorty, "What's really special?" Rockin. We are Golden Brown. We got you."
