Longevity Crew [now known as CAPTIONS]

THE WAIT IS OVER. ALBUM IS OUT NOW!

About Me

Since 1998, the group has taken their time to build and shape their style to fit the high standards that they have set for themselves. And now, though their musical development is far from complete, they are eager to bring to the masses the music they make. Listen to the music and experience the live show, the Longevity Crew is definitely in it for the long run.
Reviews Are In For "EVERYTHING BUILDS":
"With the creative styles of both music and vocal delivery on the album, this is perfect thinking-man’s hip hop...The group is clearly in it for the long run, anticipating the sound of tomorrow and giving it to us today. " - Michael Drohan (www.okayplayer.com/reviews)
"George Benson looks down and smiles on this crew and their conscious momentum" - JR (URB Magazine)
"These kats are keeping ears glued, as melodic beats and smooth rhymes fill the air. This is the solid type production and rhymes that us hip-hoppers are always yearning for." - Cire (www.funktheworld.net)
"I'm all about supporting local hip hop, but with the talent that these guys have they won't be local anymore. With thought-provoking lyrics and jazzy downtempo beats, these cats are definitely making moves. RECOMMENDED" - C-Lo (www.fixins.com)
