The Song & Video:
Crown City Rockers are like a kettle of creativity that is constantly boiling over, spilling itself into newer and better material. With their latest single "Restless," emcee Raashan spits about that itch you just need to scratch, and for him it is writing and creating music. He says, "See I want it so bad / I can't sleep in the dark / Thinkin' of lines and rhymes that'll deepen the spark." But along with that creativity comes the anticipation of the payoff. This is the restlessness that he speaks of; the artist with bills to pay and mouths to feed, impatiently waiting for their career to take off. The anticipation is filled with nervous energy, like a well-trained ear, waiting for that last note of a cadence, and for so many in the game that final tone never comes. With a big-band style beat that gets an extra infusion of energy by the chorus vocals, Crown City Rockers again have us grooving to their undeniably unique and danceable stylings that will find listeners pleasantly ...well, restless.

The Background:
Comprised of stellar emcee Raashan Ahmad, producer Woodstock, keyboardist Kat Ouano, bassist/producer Headnodic, and drummer Max MacVeety, Crown City Rockers are a genre-blending powerhouse of musical prowess. Combining classic soul samples and funk-inspired beats with their live instrumentation creates a fresh sound that stands out from today's hip-hop crowd. Formed in Boston's Roxbury neighborhood, the crew relocated to Oakland, CA where things really took off. After releasing two successful albums, this clan has major clout in the Bay Area, being proclaimed the "Best Hip Hop Group in the Bay" by SF Weekly and the SF Guardian which said "The six piece outfit throws down for the cause with an admirably honest effort that shows more than anything else, their dedication to the art form." Their new single "Body Rock" is in stores now.
