Legion
is the first band from the infamous Project
Blowed dedicated to the advancement of hip-hop
and bridging the gap between generations
of music. This group is into producing many
types of music
jazz, reggae, on top
of coming up with some incredible live underground
hip-hop. Their boundaries are limitless!
Legion
started in 1995 gelled together by Goodlife
Café host Chung Chu (Goodlife: world-renowned
LA open Mic spot that ran from 1989 to1994).
Adam, the lead guitarist, invested in digital
recording equipment giving the band the
opportunity to capture its sound. Most of
the MCing is freestyle rap (unwritten lyrics)
and concepts for songs are usually on the
spot as well. The members consist of Adam
(lead guitar), Theo (bass guitar), Kharon
(drums), Ebow (keyboards), and freestyle
MCs lead by Chung Chu (Freestyle Guru).
The
band was known to perform at world famous
5th Street Dicks frequently and the Project
Blowed (Thursday night open Mic spot located
at 4343 Leimert in Los Angeles, CA). The
band has performed
at important community functions such as
Dis-Arm (artists against police brutality)
and Free Mumia. The fellas also had the
opportunity to perform on "Jenny Jones"
and "Vibe".

Cou De Ta" which is available thru

on the debut compilation albums, "Welcome
to the Afterlife" and "Declaration
of an Independent" along with being
