A-List

Political, over the top, innovative, utterly hilarious, intelligent and without comparison... Just a few of the ways A-List had been described. What do people have to say about A-List? -Refreshing, original sounds with sharp rhyming skills.- Reviewer: Stacy G. "I was so impressed with this CD. In the music biz, we get tons and tons of junk from independent groups, but this one got my attention immediately. First off, the duo is incredibly well-matched -- their voices compliment each other and their rhyming skills are impeccable (I dare you to guess which one of them is the white kid).

"I was so impressed with this CD. In the music biz, we get tons and tons of junk from independent groups, but this one got my attention immediately. First off, the duo is incredibly well-matched -- their voices compliment each other and their rhyming skills are impeccable (I dare you to guess which one of them is the white kid). The music is 100% original, sample-free, which is amazing, considering how well-produced and layered it is. It's a fun, bob-your-head-along-to compilation of tracks. My favorite is "Newark" (and it's not about the one in Jersey). I predict big things for these two."

"A LIST's(Ghost & tha Darkness)is a head bobbing album with hip hop and house beats that never fail to have your head moving. In this album you will find original flows and even some eyebrow raising lyrics like in track 6(That Type of Nigga)that will have you rewinding the song like, "Did he really just say that?" Thats whats cool about these guys, you never know whats coming next!"

-Off the Wall!!!-

This shit is fantastic! If you like "different" music, like really different, I think you should check out this album. I haven't seen these guys live but would love to! The music is really simple, but well thought out. Not alot of out of the can sounds, very original feel to everything. Feels like you were at this party and these crazy dudes showed up and freaked the place out. Like Digital Underground in that Chevy Chase movie."

-Nice to hear some quality hip hop for a change!-
Reviewer: Kevin Fulton (Fan)
"The balance between the two rappers on this is great because they both have their own style yet go together very well. Their lyrics at times thought provoking and other times very funny and entertaining. Good beats...i really love Real Good, Free and Make Ya Bounce....definately recommend this CD to anyone looking for some hip hop with substance and a unique sound."


What is A-List?

A-List is a diverse blend of funk and hip-hop. A-List is not only intelligent, but high energy and humorous. The group boasts a duo of multi-talented musicians that have managed to shape-up a completely abstract and unique approach to hip-hop... A funky blend of the things you love about old school hip-hop with the conveniences of the amazing technology and knowledge that we now have to build upon...
