Imagine Soulive with a harder edge or The Roots, but jazzier, denser, and more spontaneous. Envision blending your favorite groups from Hip-Hop’s Golden era and replacing their sampled beats with Jazz musicians…. and you’ve got ArtOfficial.
Coming out of Miami FL, this six piece hip-hop/jazz ensemble brings a breath of fresh air to the scene. They currently have a full length album out in Japan that peaked at #4 on the Tower Records Charts, and recently they beat out over 1000 bands to win 2nd runner up in Lollapalloza’s Last Band Standing.
If you like what you hear in the video, check out their 2007 US released EP Stranger available for download below. Look out for their new album dropping this spring!
