Vokab Kompany Indie / Hip Hop / Electronica

"Electronic angst for post-millennium punks." -San Diego Reader

"A sound whose genre goes something like; hip-hop, soul, elector, funk. You have two Emcees who charge sped-up lyrical flows; made to sound effortless. Rob & Burkey have realized an impressive and seamless synergy with their voices and their lyrics are playfully vivacious and positive. Set those lyrics atop the 5 piece band, layered with creative electro beats and it makes for a very fun and a dance-worthy music experience." Sam Dorman, NBC San Diego

Their Latest album "The New Kong" is in its final stages of production and will feature cameos from national and international acts such as Lateef the Truth Speaker (Mighty Underdogs, Latyrx, Blackalicious), J-Boogie (dubtronic science), RadioActive (Spearhead), The Mutaytor, Mc Souleye and BLVD, Freddy Machete (uber beat smith featured w/ Mac Dre, Andre Nikatina), Solovox...and MAS MAS MORE. "... On this bright San Francisco night it was the opening act Vokab Kompany that really blew us away...they kept the crowd going more than any opening act I have seen in a long while. Del was good but had I not known the tracks he was playing it might have gotten a bit stagnant. Vokab Kompany's record should be dropping soon, and there are some surprises, so stay tuned." Matt Halverson, PerfSpot.com

Southern-cali feel good song "That Day" -as featured on San Diego radio 91.X (91.1), SD, FM 94.9, and 102.1 KPRI, KVMR Nv City and just about every bar and club in the 92109. VK's debut album, Liquid Language, was released April 2007, and featured hip-hop legends Killer Priest (Wu Tang Clan), Main Flow (Mood) and many up and coming vocalists storming the west coast music scene (including Al Howard, Deploi, Kelley Mak, 3ntra-P and eventaully led Robbie to the collabs with Burkey).Burkey's other noteworthy accomplishments include being on the ballot for a Grammy in 2007 with band Native Root, an appearance on MTV Thailand with band Golden Triangle and Bakery Music, and as an opening performer for poet and Nobel Peace Prize winner Maya Angelou. "Gallo, whose stage name is Rob Hurt, has teamed up with Matt “Burkey”, the singer from the former Reno funk-jam band Native Root, to create a unique sound...backed by a five-piece band called Tonight’s Special Guests...Vokab Kompany has been selling out its shows consistently and moving up to some of the largest venues in their traveled cities." -Tim Parsons Tahoe Daily Tribune
