“Cannonball is an up and coming BAy Area band that is taking over the scene...”

Product Description
Cannonball's Third release "Hiphopulation" is a wonderfully eclectic journey through many styles of modern groove-based music. The album features many of the San Francisco Bay Area's most talented up and coming players - a line up of over 20 musicians. There are many guest MCs as well as instrumentalists like Rita Thies (Shiela E and Pete Escovedo) Papa Malo (Los Mocosos, Los Angelitos) and more. The album covers everything form live Hip-Hop to Latin to Jazz and everything in between.

HIPHOPULATION IS NOT a Hip-hop album although it does incorporate live-inspired Hip-Hop, like bands such as Groove Collective, Alphabet Soup and Mingus Amungus. This album crosses most of the modern groove genres: Afro-Cuban, Funk, Jazz, Electronica, Hip-Hop, Jam, Klezmer, etc...

HIPHOPULATION features over 20 musicians, all members of a musical family that have been performing together in some of the Bay Area’s (and the World’s) finest bands: Brass Monkey, Realistic, Groundation, The Specials, Let’s Go Bowling, Pete Escovedo, The Skatelites, the Marcus Shelby Orchestra, Five Point Plan, Will Bernard, The Contemporary Jazz Orchestra, Savoy, Inner Dialogue, etc... Most importantly, Cannonball is completely independent; this album was written, produced, arranged and paid for completely by the band. We feel that when listening to this record, although it is eclectic, the listener will realize that this a real BAND and not a cast of all-star studio cats like many of the albums we hear today. This vibe is added to by the usefulness of studio production, creating at times vastly dense soundscapes.
