Picture a violin wailing as three MCs spit semi-automatic bursts of rhymes and you'll begin to envision the draw of Abstract Giants, an eight-piece> hip-hop band that draws as much from Tito Puente as it does from The Roots. When the band performs, their origins are evident. They seem like a post-integration, suburban version of Fat Albert's Junkyard Gang.. ----Chicago Sun Times---------------------- Hip hop band. It's not too common to see those three words written in that order, is it? When you do, more often than not you'll be reading about Philly innovators The Roots. You can understand my excitement when I realized that we've now got our own version of that legendary group right here in our backyard. .. [the abstract giants] all immensely talented, and upon first listen, you'd think the band has been playing together forever. Amazingly, it's only been about two years since the group's inception. Ladies and gentlemen, there's finally a reason for you to take that copy of The Low End Theory out of your CD player. The golden era of hip hop may be long gone, but the Giants are truly the next big thing. ---Spencer Lokken, Chicago Innerview magazine


their trio of MCs banters back and forth on the mic while the rest of the band lay down their silky smooth funk/jazz induced grooves, the result is not just original, but infectious. When it comes to these musicians, the whole really is greater than the sum of the parts -- and that's quite a sum."
