We are a young experimental hiphop, turntablism,mcing and graffiti crew from NewMexico. Originating from LasCruces,SanFrancisco,Mexico and Hatch/Salem,NM.
We are tired of the B.S. you keep hearing on the radio,MTV,ETC. We like to think of ourselves as controllers of our own destiny.

Why this name?
Well, its started out at my super small little LAB.I say that because it was actually the size of an actual Laboratory. We were all buzzed out and we thought of how good of friends we've been and how we each had our own distinctive talents. We then thought we should form a crew. We figured there was Danny B. & Danny A. then there was me James D. So we came to the conclusion that we would just combine the LAB with our initials and become LABX3. Kinda like LAB times(X) the three of us! Crazy huh?
Do you play live?
Not very much. But whenever we get the chance were there bumrushing the bouncers to let us in. All the rest of the crew has to say is:"we're with the DJ. We've done parties,graduations,clubs,bars and even done live Radio for the college radio KRUX 91.5fm. We do enjoy the live scene since we really get a true feedback...which has always been positive and a true learning experience. Its always special for us.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
We all believe that all that talk of lawsuits is fake. Any artist who has something upstairs knows that by streaming your music over the information super highway can only benefit the artist by expanding their audience. A download is only going to make the listener more curious to buy your music. Word
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
DefJux,ChoclateInd,Hiero,you know the real people. But probably not because we have our own movement going down. We will probably collab or something.
