  • Bio

    ************************************************************************************************************ ************************************************************************************************************ .. Simple Citizens are one of the few modern-day live hip-hop groups from Los Angeles whoʼs instrumental make-up and on stage energy more closely resemble a 60ʼs soul/jazz combo than anything else in the contemporary hip-hop scene. With a small musical arsenal and just one MC, the Citizens are able to incorporate not just hip-hop, but heavy doses of funk, soul and jazz that resonate seamlessly with lyrics creating a fresh sound that holds true to the early 90ʼs hip-hop aesthetic. In 2008 the Citizens released “Early Morning” which quickly gained them recognition not only throughout the LA scene but internationally. The success of “Early Morning” quickly prompted numerous North/West and South/West tours and countless numbers of Southern California dates providing direct support for Talib Kweli, KRS-One, Orgone and Breakestra. From 2010 to the present, Simple Citizens have been expanding and progressing both as a band and as musicians. Recently the Citizens were not only recruited to open for Del The Funky Homosapien, but also to serve as his backing band for an on going live hip-hop series at Yoshiʼs Jazz Club in San Francisco. Individually throughout the year (aside from writing and recording tracks for a new album, due out 2011) different members of SC have also been busy recording and touring with LA based groups Orgone, Jeremy Soleʼs MUSAICS, Emily Wells, Bei Bei as well as the Citizensʼ new instrumental soul outfit The Rugged Nuggets. ************************************************************************************************************ ************************************************************************************************************ ...... ..
