Editor's review
Bay Area collective Felonious seems intent on giving new meaning to the concept of 'multitasking.' They manage to maintain a bustling live show schedule, run a record label and theater company, and operate as an arts education resource. At the core is a talented live hip-hop band that pumps up crowds with upbeat organic instrumentation and dashing rhymes, the sort that lean in a politically conscious direction.
