“Picture a violin wailing as three MCs spit semi-automatic bursts of rhymes
and you'll begin to envision the draw of Abstract Giants, an eight-piece hip-hop band that draws as much from Tito Puente as it does from The Roots.
When the band performs, their origins are evident. They seem like a
post-integration, suburban version of Fat Albert's Junkyard Gang.â€
----Chicago Sun Times
Hip hop band. It's not too common to see those three words written in that
order, is it? When you do, more often than not you'll be reading about
Philly innovators The Roots. You can understand my excitement when I
realized that we've now got our own version of that legendary group right
here in our backyard. ‹.. [the abstract giants] all immensely talented,
and upon first listen, you'd think the band has been playing together
forever. Amazingly, it's only been about two years since the group's
inception.
Ladies and gentlemen, there's finally a reason for you to take that copy of
The Low End Theory out of your CD player. The golden era of hip hop may be
long gone, but the Giants are truly the next big thing.
