The Mutha Luvaz fuse this deep jazz style with the lyrics from one of the U.K’s leading Hip Hop MC’s Mystro transcending the timeless feel of these epic grooves smack into the 21st century ..........The Mutha Luvaz line up is as follows

Even if you aren’t familiar with the members of the Mutha Luvaz you will have heard these guys on recordings or live without even knowing it. Individually these guys have been privileged enough to perform with and learn from many of the great artists that inspire the music we listen to today. This includes Herbie Hancock, Roy Ayers, Stevie Wonder, Prince, and The Crusaders as well as currently performing with ground breaking acts such as Reel People, Faze Action, and Yes King, In fact the list of all the projects these artists have worked and continue to work on is endless so take a moment to listen to what happens when these guys get together to play the music they love their own way.
So what’s happening with The Mutha Luvaz at the moment?
The Guys are currently very busy writing and producing some new work to be released very soon on the new ISM label from London with additional production and remixing from Yam Who and ShortyG currently in the pipeline!!!!!!!!!!!.....................................
