For the last two years Halifax based hip-hop band Something Good has been building momentum for their second full-length release the old fashion way- one show at a time. Their relentless performance schedule has allowed them to hone their dynamic and engaging live show into what Stephen Cooke of the Chronicle Herald calls, “one of the most body-moving live-dance parties in town.” Released in March of 2011, their second recording, “Business As Usual”, sees this seven person ensemble combine the best elements of 90’s era hip-hop with dance, disco and rock styles for an exciting genre-bending eight song EP. With topics ranging from relationships and partying to technological apprehension and the challenges of succeeding in the music industry, the thought-provoking lyrics of MC’s Boy-ill and Markit explore what it means to be a 20-something in the 21st century. Or, as Markit proclaims on the first song of the album, this record is “another tale in the chronicles of rockin’ with your friends... it’s a journey but the trip in hip-hop, it never ends.” When the band isn’t commanding the stage and rocking the party, they are focused on applying their positive energy within their local community. With the intention of dispelling the negative connotations that surround hiphop, the band launched its Good Deeds project in the fall of 2010. Good Deeds sees the band giving back to the community in a new way each and every month; whether it’s by donating their time to play a benefit or facilitating the donation of sporting equipment for the local Boys and Girls Club, this band is truly up to something good. With all this hard work the band may soon be up for a promotion, but for Something Good it’s just business as usual. Listen to some of our latest songs:Upcoming Dates:
