Vokab Kompany Crush Effect

Vokab
Kompany is another act that refuses to be pigeonholed. Two MCs might
lead you to believe that it's hip hop, but that doesn't begin to tell
the story. The seven-piece band from San Diego played for more than an
hour, a set that was at times funky, jazzy, heavy, bouncy, even
bluegrassy...And it all made sense. Through it all, the crowd was
treated to microphonic gymnastics of the dueling MCs, Rob Hurt and
Burkey. The group is legit; see them"



- Lindol French (Sacramento Press)



With relentless drive they have worked to combine high energy stage
performances, 7 piece live indie electro hip-hop (w/ a violinist to
boot), with catchy hooks, and rhythm based harmonic vocal delivery to
find themselves emerging from an underground electronic scene that
primarily embraces the DJ.



While they still have an edge and integrity in their writing process and
production, their songs have mass appeal. It's a sound that has deep
indie roots, with forays into soul, funk and fresh west coast hip hop
laced over a unique sound, all performed live!
