Sometimes it happens organically sometimes its planned out to supposedly reassure success. The green complex will explore all these formulas of our past and present in an uncontaminated yet sophisticated method.

Bio
Five One's songs are influenced by a range of artists, such as The Beatles, The White Stripes, A Tribe Called Quest, Bob Marley, and Bad Brains, and their music represents more than just a sound, but a lifestyle.
The trio's members, Blue, Red, and Green, are the personification of colors. By Personifying color they are not only artists but art itself, and represent a lack of emphasis on individual identity, and an emphasis on creating music that strives to speak for everyone.
With an eclectic style, constant reinvention with every song, and innovative live shows, Five One strives to define themselves and their art on their own terms, and to always surprise their fans and themselves. Five One has the potential to be one of few hip hop artists that blur the line between genres and have critical acclaim as well commercial success .
