Bio
"They call it conscious hip hop, as in socially conscious – sometimes it can be almost political. This emerging sound is at the forefront of the local music scene in Seattle, a place that has been known to spark a music revolution or two.
Proud practitioners of the art form are the members, a hodgepodge of performers comprised of a military veteran , an artist with the stage name Diggles and a recent Russian reform school student. They are also the founding members of L.A.C.O.S.A. (www.lacosamusic.com) a platform for local solo artists in the Pacific Northwest that has become a large collective of up and coming artists.
L.A.C.O.S.A has a sound and feel that prepares you for some intense rhyming about bling and cars, but when they start spitting it makes you rewind and listen again when you first hear lyrics that focus on helping a homeless man you walk past every day or how the troops are victims and not just heroes of the war. You stop and ask yourself - did they just make giving change to a homeless man sound hardcore?"
