Sacramento, CA - If you don’t know who Righteous Movement is then you don’t know the Sacramento music scene. And I don’t mean just Hip-hop music…I mean music in general. These cats have been a part of the fabric of NorCal music for the last 6 years. They’ve been written about and talked about for the better part of those years.
Collectively, they are a group of four MC’s and a DJ/producer. Impressive is the fact that each member brings a very different and distinct presence and style to the tracks that they produce and to their on stage presence. If you heard their material I guarantee that you would have a favorite member of the group. In fact, there’s a favorite member for everyone. These guys are on point and the added plus is that they are very real and very approachable.
Righteous Movement is concious of the greater problems that affect their community and the world at large. Much of this conciousness is reflected in their music in the form of Hip-hop. That’s why I chose to cover them because after hearing about the hype I went out and got some of their music and now I’m a big fan. In their music they beg for more realness in the industry and long for the days of way back when B-boy’s and DJ’s ruled the Hip-hop world.
Right now there really aren’t that many local groups doing what Righteous Movement is doing. At least not on the level and not with the same quality beats, rhymes, and flavour that they’re doing it with. Definitely, check them out because they keep it on the positive and bring it with emotion, opinion and realness. It really is…a Righteous Movement.
