About Me

The group known as Public Defendaz is a collection of multi-talented individuals who represent their personal views through the lifestyle and music of hip hop. It started as 5 individuals that were already envolved in music who decided to get together to form the group. Their purpose is to bring audiences a new quality of music that directly reflects the word of the people while constantly evolving with the times. By combining the driving forces of lyrical wordplay and versatile productions, this group of individuals from various regions of California band together to preserve the cultures true elements. The group consist of Tha Oktapu$, Royal, j4rd, Taktical, and IyayI da Cali Kid.

Sounds Like: "Public Defendaz debut album, Speedy Trial Vol. 1, is a hard hitting yet richly poetic dose of straight up hip hop. The beats and instrumentals throughout are solid and would keep your head bumping on their own and when combined with unforgiving and largely thought provoking lyrics that just keep coming at you, it is clear that Public Defendaz are on a mission.

Challenging the all too prominent and often misguided stereotype that hip hop is all about money and flash, this five man group takes on not only issues of race, equality, poverty, current events, and the current political stage but they also rightly call out other more mainstream artists for becoming complacent and embracing the selling stereotype.

In the proud tradition of groups like Public Enemy and DEAD PReZ (hell, lets not make this just a hip hop thing and include Bad Religion and Rage Against the Machine), Public Defendaz are out to make their voices heard and make a difference."
