Unfortunately we get tagged as sounding like The Roots and Jurassic 5, but that's a bit inaccurate. A good description of our sound is this: Heady and progressive lyricism fused with jazz and funk influenced beats with rhythmic turntablist accents.

Psyche Origami, 4 Turntables, 1 Mic – State of PO, 2009
4 Turntables: 1 Mic. A State-Of-The-Art Spin on the Foundations of
Hip-hop. Dubbed "head-change music," Psyche Origami's material walks
the thin line between "conscious" music and "party" music, with a live
show that brings the content of the records to an even higher level.
The three 12" singles cut from "Is Ellipsis," the first Psyche O full
length, enjoyed heavy rotation on college radio nationwide and were a
favorite of New York's SURE and California's Heavyweights record
pools. The singles were also a top seller in the US and Japan through
TRC Distribution. In 2004-05, PO toured 36 US markets. Due in large
part to the exposure gained through this aggressive tour schedule,
"Is Ellipsis" was picked up by RedEye Distribution and is available in
Virgin Megastores, Borders Books and Music, Best Buy and an assortment
of independent stores nationwide, as well as online through Amazon.com
, I-Tunes, and sandboxautomatic.com.
Sharing the stage with such heavyweights as Jurassic Five, Talib
Kweli, and Ludacris, Psyche O has started to make itself known for
entertaining shows that bring back the feel of the 'Golden Age' from
which it was spawn. This Atlanta bred act has also been fortunate
enough to have music featured on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim
programming as well as various MTV and VH1 reality TV shows!
"Get Gassed Up" is the second single to be released from the ambitious
PO sophomore effort, "The Standard": a thematic album that uses a
metaphorical gas station as a backdrop to convey thoughts centered
around the idea that if the body is a vehicle, what would the gas
station sound like that refueled it. "The Standard" is a mostly
lighthearted Hip-hop exploration of the human condition and of the
realities we create, and touches on themes such as convenience,
motivation, and service. 'The Standard' reached 1 on the CMJ Music
charts and held a top ten position for over 6 weeks. The 'Get Gassed
Up' single was picked up by Fat Beats Distribution in August of 2006.
After 'The Standard', Psyche Origami plans on extending its creative
range with a project that is less thematic, but just as powerful in
message and scope. "The idea is to keep the listeners on their toes.
Our fans are a demanding bunch, and each time we raise the bar to
satisy our previous fans as well as continuing to rope in new ones",
says Mr. Wyzard, emcee/producer of Psyche Origami. With that said,
look out for a new Psyche Origami album in 2009. Be sure to check www.psycheorigami.com for updates!

VICKTORY MEGA PACK, 4 total discs!!! Feature Film- VICKTORY to the UNDERDOG 2 Companion Discs Soundtrack for VICKtory to the UNDERDOG!
VICKTORY TO THE UNDERDOG HELL AND BACK "Vicktory: To The Underdog" takes an in depth look at world renowned tattoo artist "Brandon Bond" and his dog rescue efforts - particularly rescuing the infamous Michael Vick fighting dogs.
Rather than focusing on the dog fighting problem, the movie sheds light on solutions leading to "Vicktory" for all the underdogs in the movie - tattoo people, pitbulls, parolees and all the other people in this world that society has turned their back on through ignorance and racism.
The movie also examines the life of Brandon Bond and his struggle with balancing fame, fortune and the Rock-N-Roll tattoo lifestyle with a more fulfilling life that focuses on the betterment of both animals and society as a whole.
Featuring celebrities like Debbie and Danny Trejo, Michael Berryman, Pixie Acia and Donal Logue, the movie takes you on an incredible journey you will never forget!
