Get Your Buzz Up #1 Site for Unsigned/Indie/Underground Hip Hop
Monosapiens consist of two brothers, Rik & Simon Arbuthnot and reside in Scotland. Between the two of them, they play guitar, bass, drums, percussion, keyboards, samplers and whatever else they can find lying around to make a noise with.
Conscious Route is the front man for this particular project, originally from England (between Cambridge and London), he started out Mossman Skank, later abbreviating his name to Mosman. He is a founder member of now dispersed Hip Hop crew Fugaizrum, who later became a crossover Hip Hop and Blues band. He started to write hip hop in 1998, being influenced by names like Talib Kweli, Pharoahe Monch, Wu Tang Clan, Roots Manuva, Black Twang, Task Force, Terra Firma, Triple Darkness, Dr John, Eek-A-Mouse, Michael Franti, and Bob Dylan, which in turn all shaped his flow and sound on this diverse sounding album.
The band now brings to you the ‘Frequency’ LP with rapper Conscious Route bringing a mix of Soul, Funk, Jazz, Hip Hop and various other influences which are blended with organic instrumentation fused with samples.
