small CHANGE

small CHANGE has an incredible chemistry in which there is no specific band leader. Everyone contributes equally to the writing and composition of the music, allowing each individual to challenge and express their own ideas within the collective. This magical chemistry is immediately apparent when hearing the band live. It is at a live show that a fan can experience the talent of the artist first hand, and the artist can connect through shared excitement with the audience, and there's no doubt that the live band invigorates the often anticlimactic rap show. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::With a vast array of influence and an abundance of ability, the obvious comparison to The Roots does not do justice to the band small CHANGE. The marriage of live instruments and hip hop music has only just begun, and if The Roots are the Honeymooners, then small CHANGE is the Simpson's! :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::While The Roots blazed the trail for live hip hop music through the nineties, they began expanding the boundries of the music and building a reputation through touring. With the emergence of rap/rock bands such as Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit & 311 the boundries continue to stretch. These bands tapped into hip hop by adding rhymes to their heavy grooves, but small CHANGE is working backwards from this as the band is fronted by the lyrical genius of Vitamen D and Jah Safe, two battle tested emcees that have been immersed in hip hop culture their entire lives. This gives the band the freedom and ability to weave a tapistry of musical influence in their sonic soundscape and continue to explore the fluid boundries of music while remaining centered under the umbrella of hip hop.
