FUTURE SHOCK. Formed in the mid 90s, this hip hop group has been steadily building its reputation as a creative and vital voice in the culture. With the release of their first record, Remember the Future (Oct. 96, Brainstorm Artists Group, Exec Prod. Gene Eugene), they firmly established themselves as a creative force in hip hop music. Unafraid to explore the more abstract constructs of songwriting, they fearlessly chartered an innovative course into the minds of hip hop fans. But it wasnt until their sophomore release in April of 02, The Art of Xenos; entertaining Aliens (Syntax Records), that Ahred(formerly redbonz), Ajax, and Sojourns sincerity and honest lyricism would make a permanent place for them in the ever changing landscape of underground hip hop.
Since the release of Xenos, Future Shock has been increasingly in demand. Doing shows from San Diego to Phoenix to Bandung, Indonesia. They have recently shared the stage with many well known underground acts such as: L.A. Symphony, Living Legends, Mars Ill, Abstract Rude, Emanon, Grits, Pigeon John, even hip hop legend KrsOne. The single from Xenos, Little Bit, was picked up by Urb magazine to be distributed for promoting hot new hip hop acts. And recent features in Modern Fix and Feed magazines have recognized them as a group to watch in the coming years.
Future Shock has recently strengthened their already formidable lineup by combining efforts with the upstart crew, and longtime friends, Solseekers (Capture and DJ DNA). Solseekers are probably best known for their domination of the MP3 Hip Hop charts with the single Audience of One in the late 90s that held the number 1 spot for several weeks, beating out Master P, Snoop Dogg, and Q-tip from A Tribe Called Quest.
The merger of the two groups into one super group was just a formality as they had spent the last two years working for the same production company (The Inklings), collaborating on projects (see Xenos and Solseekers Halfway There ep), and touring together throughout SoCal.
With the new lineup and live stage show, Future Shock is poised to take the overground by storm. Already in the studio working on an album to be released in late 03, Future Shock is determined to continue in excellence, creativity, and innovation. With several high profile producers and artists collaborating on the project, it should no doubt be the best album yet. Future Shock looks to have the integrity, creativity, and longevity to be one of those groups to make a difference in the Hip Hop Community.
