I'm really into this group lately. Previously they were called Mission, and their album called "One" under that name was great.
I didn't like their last album very much, but "Earthtones" is possibly the best album I've ever encountered. Jazz hip hop, clearly influenced by golden age eastcoast hip hop acts and they're with the culture. They play instruments, if you cherish that.

Discography:
Mission: "One" (2001)
Crown City Rockers: "Crown City Rockers" (2004)
Crown City Rockers: "Earthtones" (2004)
Crown City Rockers: "The Day After Forever" (2009)

Introduction video (sound quality isn't the best, but it's a good introduction)

Another Day (from Earthtones)

B-Boy (from Earthtones)

Earthtones (from Earthtones)

Weekend Soul (from Crown City Rockers)

Live. Pretty good quality, I'd say

MC vs drummer? lol idk wtf

Please take time to check them out, if you haven't heard of them before.

It's awesome indeed. The "When I'm walking, the stree-ee-eet" sample gives it a nostalgic touch.
"Limpin' when I walk, 'cause it's sorta like dancing" is the most memorable line for me. I think he used it in another song, probably in Earthtones. Since I've played that album all month, every line in that album ought to ring a bell.

Man, I love the "B-Boy" song. "Being the first generation of hip hop music!". That's - I don't know, he just highlights the charms and the epic and awesome of hip hop, that's all.

I wrote a review to the album, BTW...
Click this
I just noticed there's I did a typo. I was planning on giving it 96%, I gave it 94%. Not that big a difference though, but still.. Can't enter the account to change it, because I saved the password at the computer I got standing at my dads.

Uploaded some songs from 3 of their first studio albums. Their latest album isn't bad, it's just stands out from their previous work. It's got less of a jazzy feel to it, but it's more of a current piece. It's a great album though, just haven't really got to it yet.

Some more songs...

Mesmerize:

Disturbing Behavior:

Let It Coast:

It's the.. :

Fortitude (ft. Gift of Gab):

"Fortitude" was not to be found on Youtube. There was a video with the title, but it was the wrong song.

That video is the real "Fortitude" though...
