Strong Arm Steady- Deep Hearted

For many hip-hop fans that reside in the city of angels, there is only one group that truly combines the history, skill, talent and connections to properly represent the coast. Enter in Strong Arm Steady; a collection of now only 3 mc's (one time member Xzibit has left the group) that are all a true cut above the rest when it comes to the music. Comprised of the street saavy and straight forward San Diegan Mitchy Slick, the half latino, half black, pot- enhaling, lyricist Phil Da Agony, and the lurching, Cali raised, Brooklyn educated, albino Krondon. I really haven't been excited about any particuliar group in a long time, especially any from Cali, but as soon as I heard that these Likwit and beat Junkie affiliates were gonna drop as a collective I was instantly intrigued. While both Phil and Mitchy have already released solo albums this is the world's first look at the somtimes awkwardly recieved Krondon. Although he's the heart of the group in my opinion, many heads don't check for S.A.S. simply because of his appearance...a fact that doesen't phase them in the least, they just keep making solid music. At first the only time most of their loyal fans could get in tune with their unique brand of music that is 1 part pure hip-hop, 1 part Cali gangsta music, 1 part stoned frenzy...was when the trio dropped their now legendary independent mixtapes.....the group has also been heard doing many guest features alongside the underground's elite. Collaborating on Talib Kweli's Beautiful mixtape series as well as working with Hi-Tek for his sophmore album has proven to be a big payoff for S.A.S., as they now find themselves releasing their fist retail album comprised of some of their biggest mixtape bangers as well as serving up a healthy dose of new material.....the sky is the limit for these guys now, as most of L.A.'s underground hip-hop scene is becoming more and more familiar these "Gold Chain Music" maker's are sure to bring a smile to any enthusiast's face, and with production on this project coming from the likes of Madlib, DJ Khalil, Da Riffs, DJ Babu and Evidence, S.A.S. is putting their stamp on the game right now.
