Hydroponic Sound System is the music collective spearheaded by production team Skin and Rube; and on their new full length CD Mixtape Mentality they’ve incorporated elements of Hip-Hop, Funk and Soul, and Dancefloor Jazz into a stream of consciousness boogie assault that flows with the flavor of a mixtape. The beats are geared heavily towards movin’ bodies and they come endorsed with the stamp of approval from legends like Erykah Badu, Phife from A Tribe Called Quest, and Bobbito Garcia - who all bless the CD with their vocal shout-outs. Hydroponic Sound System most frequently features the vocal acrobatics of MC’s Bavu Blakes and Headkrack - who are get their shine on all over the CD.
