The Breakestra is on your block

September 29th, 2006
BreakestraIf you haven't heard the Breakestra's funk-infused groove, you will. With fans ranging from A Tribe Called Quest to Carson Daly, the Breakestra is poised to become a modern-day classic collective. Honestly, take one listen to a song like Play Button Getcho Soul Togetha - you'll think these guys traveled forward in time cruisin' in a 1972 Cadillac with fuzzy dice in the mirror and James Brown riding shotgun. The hip hop orchestra coming from LA is one of the premier funk bands of our era, mixing their own material and covering classics so well even legends can't tell the difference - no joke, the Roots' ?uestlove once sampled a Breakestra track thinking it was a 30-year-old original! On jams like Play Button Root Down , Play Button Inner City Blues , and Play Button Little Old Money Maker , the combination of today's hip hop rhythm with yesterday's soul power is sure to put the jangle back in your jingle.
