The Feedback Project

The Feedback Project is a socially conscious hip-hop band formed in Jacksonville, FL during the spring of 2000. The group's founding members Neil Edward (Ned Pope) and Gadjet (Tony Leonard) came together while touring the punk underground with local mainstays Boredom. After being featured on a local compilation album the two MCs started writing with area musicians, the sessions culminated with the release of the Voice of the Overlooked EP in 2001. Following a move to Tallahassee in 2003 the band filled out its lineup with the additions of keyboardist Ken Tucker and drummer Charles Reaume, and released its first full length album Crisis of Perception (The Orchard Distribution). In 2004 Gadjet decided to pursue a career in Jacksonville while giving the group his blessings to carry on with the music. With Neil Edward as the main vocalist, and the additions of bassist Jadaria Gray and Miami MC Jet D, the band completed the EP Return of the Illcats in the spring of 2006. They have spent the last year on writing and production for upcoming Neil Edward and Jet D solo albums. Stay Tuned!!!
