A New
Family is Born
n
aka
Tom
Noonan
There is something new brewing in the in
the world of Hip-Hop, something righteous and
inspiring. Artists from far and wide across our
broad country are coming together to form... a
family. A family who's goal is to celebrate HipHop and all its offerings while pushing it forward, and to unite under one name to
accomplish things that could not be accomplished by oneself. An expression of a bond,
something bigger then self centered advancement but the advancement of an entire movement formed to strengthen Hip-Hops history
and reputation, and to strengthen the family.
This family I speak of is collaborative simply
called Brain Gang. So much said with so little.
First there was an idea that formed a
small seed of a gathering which then sprouted
and formed a forest of ambition and possibilities, ideals and good intentions. The Idea is as
simple as its title, form a family of artists with
no restrictions or obligations other than their
personal promotion or representation of the
family name, but mainly to form a network that
will help us all drive forward by the use of one
vehicle. It pleases me to inform you that Brain
Gang is a non-profit organization with no definite money making goals, any member can
print and sell the Brain Gang logo for their own
profit to help them advance their own career.
There is no pot to throw into, no fees, no gimmicks, and no dark underlying agenda. Yes its
true, no smoke and mirrors and no veils, only
opportunity. Although this is not the traditional
capitalist American way, but rather
patriotic if I do say so myself. The
ideology is held together and was
formed by the unofficial young
leader or "Main Brain" Logik
Levesque, a printed and performing Emcee/Producer located in
Springfield VT. Brain Gang is not
a one dimensional representation
of Hip-Hop but consists of many
expressions of Hip-Hop blended
into one entity, producing the inspired work from artists including:
-Street and Studio ArtistSEEKO- North Carolina
-Graphic Designer- Seth
Rediker,- Claremont, NH

Guitarist- Mad Dog- Burlington
