I suppose I should start off with our own group, Basic Vocab (AVX Music Group). They are produced by super-producer Tony Galvin (whose credits include “Shut Up” by Trick Daddy, “Baddest Bitch” for Trina, “You Know Who” for T.I. feat. Travis Barker, “Show It To Me” by T.I. feat. Nelly, “Show You What It Is” for Young Jeezy, etc). Ironically, with such mainstream production credits, Tony is able to craft music reminiscent of 90’s era songs by J Dilla or Pete Rock. In essence, Basic Vocab brings back the sound from the “Golden Era” of hip hop. Their breakout single, “Come Get With It” was featured in the credits of HBO’s Entourage in Season 5 Episode 8. Their sophomore album, “A Better Way” is currently available on iTunes. Pick it up. In the meantime, check out their first official single from the album, “Just Dance”.
