A Tribe Called Quest

A Tribe Called Quest was an influential hip hop group of the 1990s, originally formed in Queens, New York City in 1985. The group is composed of Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, and DJ Ali Shaheed Muhammad. A fourth member, Jarobi White, was an intermittent collaborator appearing on their first album, but he left the group soon after, although he is mentioned as a 'sometimes' member on their third album liner notes. Along with De La Soul, the group was a central part of the Native Tongues Posse, and enjoyed the most commercial success out of all the groups to emerge from that collective.

Youngblood Brass Band

The YoungBlood Brass Band, started at Oregon high school under the name of "One lard biscuit"(1994-1998), is a brass band from Oregon, Wisconsin.
With sharp execution, sharp tongue, and a pick-up-and-go ethos, the Youngblood Brass Band cleanly fuses elements of brass band jazz and hip-hop. Since their debut in 1998 with the album Word On the Street, YBB have been a shotgun blast to the eardrum, demanding attention from all that have had the fortune to hear them while they tour both the US and Europe.
