Description:
The Sky Beneath Crew makes eclectic, independent Hip Hop for eclectic, independent minds; we got tired of plastic-fantastic fodder and took the sound underground with love, pain, and brains. We are a dynamic creation with roots in Seattle (WA), Lynn (MA), Berkeley (CA), Gweru (Zimbabwe), and Sydney (Australia).
In the summer of 2003, emcees BEAUJANGLES and FURYUS combined their lyrical talents with the phenomenal vocal stylings of PAKWIT and the innovative instrumental soundscapes of STEVEN VAN BEATHAVIN to shape their first album. Shortly after, FURYUS went out East for college at Yale and teamed up with friends FITZGEEZUS and NUSONRIZE to shape the group, Fifth Floor, named after the dorm where they met.
As summer approached, Fifth Floor and The Sky Beneath decided to join forces on a brand new project. They brought on a second producer, DJ SHINGI, and the new & improved SKY BENEATH CREW was born.
"The Winter EP" is the first fruit of their combined effort, and as you can hear from the previews, it's pretty damn hot. It's also just a taste of what you can expect from our full-length album due out later this year.
In February of 2005, THE SKY BENEATH CREW signed on Australian DJ/Producer/Graff Artist, DJ NOS! He brings with him a wealth of sonic flava which draws on influences such as DJ Premier and DJ Shadow. He is looking to add yet another dimension to the numerous Sky Beneath Crew projects planned for 2005 and 2006.
