"Chicago’s HIP-HOP/EDM FORCE; Shapes & Colors: These guys were like a snowball in 2012, rolling along and picking up both momentum and members. As they year’s gone on, their sound has gotten tighter and tighter, especially as they added Lucas Ellman on saxophone/EWI and Dan Cantone on guitar. RamZ (production), Rez (drums), and Jeremy (bass) already have an awesome chemistry from their Raoul Duke days, so adding these two baller musicians into the mix only made things better. This is definitely one of Chicago’s rising bands, as evidenced by their set-ending remix of RATATAT’s “One” with a great rap sample and some gnarly licks from Cantone. Need moar SnC beats!"
