Krooked Fam comprised of L.P., Logik the Saint, Menyo and Hec Dogg. Representing the 831 scene I had the pleasure of watching them perform at The GO GREEN show at the Blue Lagoon a few weeks back, that is where I asked L.P. to link up for an interview. We met up on a friday evening and it was more than just an interview I had such a great time laughing they had alot of good stories about music and just kicking it stories but at the root of all of it they are serious about their music, and when each member spoke you could hear the passion for their art and craft. Menyo and L.P. started rapping in the late 90's early 00's recording originally with another group but started Krooked Fam with Hec Dogg and the youngest member Logik the Saint.
They're influences are pure west coast classics such as Dr. Dre, Snoop Dog, Tech 9, N.W. A., and Ice Cube. " I always looked up to my brother in life ( Menyo) to whatever he was listening to he could of been listening to country and I would be making country gangster rap you know what I mean?." -L.P.
The humbleness of the group is felt when you speak to them " You know it's a beautiful thing when you can make your music, " We get down with who ever's willing to get down with us." -L.P. These guys are talented, funny, and have t.v./movie star good looks which is featured in the newly released Chris Rene' video for his single Young Homie. They have performed in numerous venues The Catalyst, Blue Lagoon and several clubs in the bay area Morgan Hill and Gilroy etc.
Their current project is a mixtape which will be released soon Krooked Family Buisness. 2012 is the year for them to focus on their music and get several projects out a new website site for Krooked Fam hopefully more collaborations and clothing line. I also had the pleasure of seeing their music video shot for their single " Just Go" here in Santa Cruz, California it was show on west cliff against the back drop off the ocean close family and friends came out to support and it was a good moment for the group.I feel alot of great things for them in the future and I endorse their music if you would like to further get to know my featured artists check them out on Facebook, Krooked Fam You Tube channel, Reverbnation for further questions you can contact me here at Music4Melancholy or Sonia4rmwestcoastmag@live.com
