StnrKrew on Listening Lyrics - Hip Hop, Recorded Nov. 1, 2019

Fri, 11/01/2019 - 5:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

stnrkrew1.jpeg

The Hip Hop group StnrKrew showed up a little late, but arrived at the 14:30 minute mark. It was a great hour and includes an original rap song performed live.

StnrKrew Music is four artists who love hip hop and a variety of old rock 'n' roll type music, growing up in Las Vegas and different parts of California. DocSinister, JetLagg, MoonChild, and DaVinciiHendriXX have come together accompanied by good friend Dj Morfintime to recreate and reignite the fire in lyrical, punchline, battle rap-style BARs, putting rhythm and raw words together as one to exceed the level set by previous rap legends. With idols such as MacMiller, Tupac, Biggie, Eminem, and so sooooo much more, the bar is set very high!

What a fascinating hour. Songwriter Greg Johnson displays his art and explains his tools. Song writing is knowing music and having a knack for lyrics. Greg explains his best songs are authentic and real. One of his "instruments" he uses is a software program called "Band In A Box", and boy does he know how to use this. Greg has been in song writing workshops with renowned song writer Steve Seskin and is active in the songwriting scene both locally and nationally. Listen in to some of Steve's songs soundcloud
