The name Organic Thoughts isn’t your typical hip-hop group name. In fact, the name alone probably reminds you more of a vegetarian food market or agricultural cultivation. But then again, the group members – Tonio, El Gambina, DJ Reason and DJ onPoynt – aren’t your typical hip-hop artists either.
To say that Organic Thoughts “does it for the love of the music” would sound cliché, but there really is no other way to put it. Embedded in their music is the obvious influence of an old school b-boy vibe and the graffiti artist’s mentality – stimuli that they grew up with. And even as the members finish school and move on to professional careers, they continue to express themselves through this thing we call hip-hop. The group's motivation? To create original hip-hop music and keep true to the artform’s roots.
"The Purest Form" - released in 2004 by Blaze the World Records.
Organic Thoughts is a breath of fresh air, a return to what hip-hop is supposed to be. Comprised of two MC's and two DJ's from New Jersey, El Gambina, Tonio, DJ OnPoynt and DJ Reason have brought back the true nature of hip-hop-banging beats, thoughtful lyrics, and clever hooks. With the release of their new album The Purest Form, Organic Thoughts on Blaze The World Records, offers a diverse group of jersey hiphop heads who serve hot tracks ranging from the lyrical bombardment of "Check the Flow," to the more melodic messages found in "Be Allright."
Speaking of Organic Thoughts appreciation of "true-school" hip-hop, the album also features two of the games quietly admired underground legends. Large Professor, reaffirms his lyrical prowess with a guest appearance on "World Renowned." Prince Poetry of the legendary group Organized Konfusion is also featured along with Peril-l of The Mountain Brothers.
The Purest Form is a good album from an up and coming group that leaves the listener eagerly wanting to see how this young group will develop. While it is unclear what Organic Thoughts will do in the future, it is clear that they have not forgotten the untainted hip-hop of the past.
