"Yes, they won a California Music Award for their CD "Bohemian Rap CD" (get it?) But "Twist The Knob" is where it all started...

I originally pulled this CD out of the 99-cent bin in a San Francisco record store, and have since been a HUGE fan. Rap, pop, funk, punk-ish, it's all there. If you like independant hip-hop/rap over multi-level beats then this is for you.



Fans of Frank Zappa, Digital Underground and home-spun from-the-street raps will GREATLY appreciate this album. Songs about stealing guys' girlfriends, politics, San Francisco and a freaky mistress will spice up your stale collection of rap/hip-hop.



I especially enjoy "Open Letter To The Close Minded" and of course "Girlfriend Is The Best". "Marginal Prophets Hotline" has me laughing everytime.



But don't think that's all!! They absolutely ROCK live! They put on one of the best and most energetic shows I have ever seen.
