"Sounds Like Money" For Kontroversy Committee In 2008 - January 13, 2008 By : Rud

"In an industry based soley on gimmicks, Kontroversy Committee is hoping to shake the business" - so reads the introduction from this new group we are here to introduce today.
Kontroversy Committee is a duo outfit that consists of ON 1 and E-luzhen. Originally from Los Angeles, the pair learned that growing up on the streets of L.A. is a tough life. Gang violence led both ON 1 and E-luzhen's families to up roots and move out of Los Angeles area to more "family friendly" neighborhoods.
ON 1, who's family originates from Guatemala, grew up in Inglewood, CA before relocating after twelve years to the Antelope Valley where he resides today. E-luzhen grew up in a Mexican-American home in the San Fernando Valley, just outside of Los Angeles. When E-luzhen's family moved to the Antelope Valley, the pair met and Kontroversy Committee was formed.
Kontroversy Committee suffered a set back in terms of a group when E-luzhen was suddenly moved back to the San Fernando Valley. As an individial he continued to grind and stir up a buzz that led him to work with artists including Kurupt and Ras Kass. During this time he also came to the attention of Suge Knight, whom we are told, planned to sign the youngster prior to his incarceration that caused the deal to fall through.
Today, Kontroversy Committee is back together as a unit and making music that is turning heads. Far from the typical "Chicano Gangsta Rap" people may expect, Kontroversy Committee are delivering a fusion of Hip-Hop and R&B instrumentals with lyrics littered with creative metaphors and an infectious style.
We have news of Kontroversy Committee's album that is almost ready to hit the streets. "Sounds Like Money" is being unveiled at an Album Release Party (see flyer) on January 18 and, under the label name, A.L.A.N.E. Entertainment (All Latinos Are Not Equal), ON 1 and E-luzhen are ready to be the new representives for the Latino culture.
If you are interested in hearing music from "Sounds Like Money" - that features appearances from Techniec, Young Noble, Chino XL and Crooked I - we urge you to check them out on MySpace where you can download the current singles.
For those of you who can make it to the Album Release Party (see flyer) in Tarzana, CA, you will be treated to performances by Crooked I and Techniec - who will be performing tracks they contribute to on the new album "Sounds Like Money."
During the show Kontroversy Committee will be shooting their video so ensure you head out and show your support and perhaps get featured in the clip! Get more details as well as the audio downloads of the current singles from Kontroversy Committee's MySpace page.
