Felonious: onelovehiphop is dedicated to playing Hip Hop with a
live band. The live instrumentation allows for an intricate musical
texture featuring the pounding beats of Soulati (Tommy Shepherd),
the reggae, latin, funk, and jazz bass lines of Illin Ills (Dylan
Mills), KP's (Keith Pinto) melodic vocals and keys, MC's D.Wolf
(Dan Wolf) and Infinite's (Carlos Aguirre) poetic and rapid-fire
lyrics, and Jon Monahan's virtuoso guitar playing. KP steps out
from behind his keys to rock the mic, while Soulati is able to play
the drums and rap at the same time. Spontaneous freestyles and two
of the freshest beat boxers on the West Coast (Soulati and
Infinite) make Felonious: onelovehiphop's live show untouchable.
Felonious also created the critically acclaimed theater piece
Beatbox: A Raparetta at Theater Artaud in 2001. Beatbox: A
Raparetta, written by Dan Wolf (D Wolf) and Tommy Shepherd
(Soulati), is a theater piece in rhythm and rhyme, accompanied by
beat box (vocal drum beats) and DJ Raw B. In development since
1995, Beatbox: A Raparetta has been produced in San Francisco,
Oakland, New York Hip Hop Theater Festival and Hamburg, Germany.
Felonious has shared the stage with The Roots, De La Soul, Big
Daddy Kane, DJ Premier, Black Eyed Peas, Zion I, Living Legends,
Radioactive, Crown City Rockers, Psychokinetics, Shotgun Wedding
Quintet, Raw Deluxe, and Dynamic. Recorded in Hamburg Germany, "Up
To Something" (2007) is the third album from San Francisco
underground hip hop band Felonious. German producers DJ exel.
Pauly's jazz and soul samples, ABCity's banging hip hop beats, and
Capudelup's live instruments create 13 deep soulful tracks layered
with the rhymes and harmonies of the Felonious MC's. Highlights
include "The Music", "Lately", "Bulletproof", "Free", and "Cost of
Living". This album is the result of a musical friendship between
Hamburg and San Francisco, six years in the making. Felonious is
currently in the studio working on their next album. Look for it in
Fall 2007.
