About the artist:
In early 2008, seven Brooklyn-based artists employed by Fat Beats New York decided to form a hip hop group. We call ourselves the Brown Bag AllStars. Since we all worked at Fat Beats, we figured we knew enough about hip hop music to make it ourselves.
We have a style that listeners have called a throw back style with bangin’ beats, clever lyrics, and quality mixing. Our roster is like a 40 oz. A-Team. We've got Audible Doctor, rapper, producer, and Fat Beats manager; J57, rapper, beatsmith and assistant-manager; Koncept, rapper and serious threat on stage; Soul Khan, currently a high ranking battle-rapper in NYC [Grind Time East Division]; E Holla, dj, father, and FatBeats.com webmaster...not to mention Torae's permanent DJ/hypeman; Element, dj and also J-Live's DJ; and Goo, a dj, amazing producer and genius mixing engineer who's currently in Arizona working closely with Sha Money's team but is still a core member of the Brown Bag AllStars.
We've also had some major accomplishments here are some to name a few:
We won Brooklyn Bodega's "Show n Prove Competition" in June '09 beating out every upcoming hiphop artist from NYC, NJ, LA to perform in the Brooklyn HipHop Festival.
