Mosaic Soul
Mosaic Soul is a Hip Hop/Soul/Spoken word collective that incorporates live instrumentation and deep meanings into their work. The group was formed by producers MarsOne, b0ne and poet Derrick Bolton-The Gemini in early 2003. MarsOne's brother, b0ne and The Chef joined the group in late 2003 and, musically, things began rolling from there.
The musical vision of Mosaic Soul succesfully marries the excitement of live instruments and percussion with the boom-bap of hip-hop and the soul of spoken word. The result is explosive!
