Since 2005, Figga 4 has been very quiet. The group was formed in 1997 through a chance encounter at Charlotte's Power 98 radio station. However, the group hasn't made music their primary focus. Interestingly enough, it seems they have all worked to build their personal and professional foundations while using music as a creative outlet. While this may sound shocking to some, this route has assisted Figga 4 in solidifying their personal bonds. 

Creative Loafing has compared the group to the old school Ultramagnetic MCs and the group has remained shrouded in mystery with limited imagery and video throughout the internet. The individual members have maintained their stage names, BKNC, Mastamind, Shif-T and Supreme. 

Many times, we see these types of groups split up after a couple of years, but their formula has seen them work together for a solid 15 years. It's worked to keep them a tight knit group, while they evolve musically and personally. Their growth is evident in their newest street single, "Chaos and Mayhem," which examines the duality between chaos and mayhem politically. With this being the case, Figga 4 does not claim to be a political or positive group. However, they do promise to express the artform, their talents and their brand while having a lot of fun.

Thank you for your support!!!

“Super Ape creates concise instrumental jams that drip with beastly sensuality and a sharp sense of style. There’s animal lust in its heavily layered rhythmic attack; the beats are complex and reliant on intricate syncopation. There’s a barbaric curiosity in the way the band crosses genres – a polygamist marriage of dub, indie, dance rock, and whatever other pretty sounds Super Ape encounters – that helps the band stake out a territory of its own with alpha-male confidence.
Their Shakedown and Ape Shit singles touch on 90′s electronic rock, Chicago post-rock, funk and dubstep. As rocking as it is dance-ready, the instruments-only collections manage to assemble disparate sounds cohesively and concisely into pieces that move with a pop song’s momentum.”

“Coupling the finest rock and mellow dub electro funk spacey danceable ITEM!
No. A-side is a cool and dynamic Tappuri speedy. クラウト・ロック的な質感のダンス・チューンです。 Texture is a dance tune and Krautrock. The B-side, Dam-Funk Electro Funk No. principle leads to the future space. 粘っこいビートと浮遊シンセの絡みがバツグンに気持ち良し。 The ballistic 気持Chi良Shi involving synth beats and floating 粘Kkoi. 両面ともにオススメです!! It is recommended to both sides!”
- Jet Set Records [Japan]

“(Lee Scratch) Perry’s Upsetters projects may be Super Ape’s sonic starting point, but elements of jazz, Krautrock and wide-screen Morricone waft like ganja-smoke through the self-titled, debut 7-inch…”

Here are my ideas for songs I am developing.  Some are recorded live on mini 8 tracks and others on a DAW.  Please comment and share your thoughts.
