In today's social climate dominated by capitalism and corporate strong-holding, the individual rights and voice of the common people are vastly diminishing.
Even hip-hop, a culture born from the truest human will to express, is being poisoned by the sheer motivation of greed. Representing a conscious collective positioned opposite of today's "brainwash" culture, is a band that stands independently as a "group of the people, for the people": the Visionaries.
The Visionaries are six diverse and unique individuals working as a unified team that cherishes and teaches the values of love, truth and humanity through their music. Visionaries' members: LMNO, 2Mex (OMD), Writer's Block (Zen and Dannu), Key-Kool, and DJ Rhettmatic (Beat Junkies), come from an assortment of cultural backgrounds and a plethora of life experiences, truly representing the dynamic essence of hip-hop. Translating their heart and soul through music, Visionaries possess the intangible ability of connecting with their listeners with a truly distinctive sound.
Emerging from the Los Angeles underground, Visionaries developed their stage presence performing in the local scene alongside other up and coming L.A. associates such as: Dilated Peoples, Jurassic 5, and the Beat Junkies. With an intrinsic sincerity and ingenuity, the Visionaries gained a reputation for a powerful live show, characterized with insanely-energetic crowds and volcanic mosh-pits. Performing extensively, the group gathered momentum releasing successful 12 inch singles, leading to the acclaimed Visionaries debut album, "Galleries" (UP ABOVE).
Continuing to plant seeds with a grassroots campaign, these L.A. hometown heroes toured Japan and various North American cities accumulating a mounting legion of fans worldwide. With the release of their 2nd album, "Sophomore Jinx" (UP ABOVE), the elevated exposure of the Visionaries was evident as they began to rock large concert venues, opening for such notable groups such as: Linkin Park, Wu-Tang Clan, Redman & Method Man, Mos Def, Busta Rhymes, Dilated Peoples, Common, De La Soul, Gangstarr, Blackalicious, as well as touring with Xzibit and Jurassic 5. Visionaries also co-headlined club tours with the Beat Junkies in the U.S. and Europe.
