40LOVE BIO:
Spanning the genres of Hip-Hop, Electronica, Soul and Reggae, 40Love’s sound is versatile, unique, and ever-expanding. Hailing from San Francisco, 40Love is the rising new group gaining critical acclaim and “breaking sonic barriers” (URB).
The group, consisting of emcee G-OFF, producer Mikos, female vocalist/emcee Haze and DJ/Producer The Whooligan (OM Records) have released two full length albums, “Advantage” in 2007 and more recently “BANGERANG!” in February 2009. “BANGERANG!” features hip-hop heavyweight Black Spade, The Jacka of the Mob Figaz, soul star Jesse Boykins III, Denise Wallace, Bay Area legend L*Roneous and more.
Since their second release, 40Love has been reviewed and featured in media outlets like NBC, URB, Okayplayer.com, Venus Zine, VIMBY.com and Hard Knock Radio, as well as featured locally as Amoeba Records homegrown pick and CD Baby 1 Hyphy album two years in a row. They have recently been nominated for “Best Rap/Hip-Hop” in the SF Weekly Music Awards 2009.
Yung Mars has created and refined a sound that is truly original —spinning with raw social commentary, and self-awareness that feels remarkably honest.
His latest project—Santa Cruz or Bust—combines modern “mixtape style” mash-ups with a premium blend of new originals. Inspired by the kickback lifestyle of the Santa Cruz scene, nearly every track features a different Bay Area collaborator, from rappers and singers, to horn players and string sections.
The “Project” consists of: Christian DeVivo (Chris Keys), Steve-o (drums), Cheecho (Chilean Superfunkbass), C-Funk (Funky C on guitar), Jenevieve Francisco (Vocalist), and a rotating assortment of horn players, Djs, emcees, and guest vocalists.
