| DARKLEAF
Once
upon a time in deepest underground Los Angeles there was a crew
called Unity Committee. This crew grew in strength to spawn 2 separate
acts: Jurassic Five, and DarkLeaf.
After
a couple of self-produced releases and an appearance on the Beneath
The Surface compilation, DarkLeaf have gathered to release left
coast hip hop on Ubiquity Records. 5 members - Longevity, Jahli
(both producers and lyricists) Kemit, Metalogic (both lyricists),
and Mix master Wolf (DJ, and lead vocalist for the Breakestra) -
compose the crew that view themselves as some of the darkest leaves
on the tree. Inspired by Sun Ra, Chick Corea, and Jimi Hendrix,
DarkLeaf are currently putting final touches to their debut Ubiquity
album. It's chaotic hip hop, collage rap, disjointed beats, and
the truth...LA underground style.
As pillars of the LA scene they are involved in the monthly Root
Down live/DJ session and produced tracks for the score of Kevin
Fitzgerald's underground hip hop movie "Freestyle", featuring
Mos Def, Freestyle Fellowship, Divine Styler, etc. |
