Need A Vision?
These guys have one for you! The Visionaries are adding yet another trophy to their collection by dropping We Are The Ones (we’ve been waiting for), out October 3rd. Not that these guys need any help, but the genius of producers like J-Rocc, Madlib, and the late J Dilla have added their special touch to album.
These guys have worked hard to earn worldwide recognition as some of the best, but they are giving back to LA, bringing it back to where it all started. Catch the boys live and free tomorrow at Amoeba Records Hollywood starting at 6:30pm.
If you are unable to catch the show, we’ve got you covered. They will be having their album release party on Saturday, October 7 at the Vault 360 in Long Beach, alongside the equally great Zion I & The Grouch (also celebrating their new album) and the Crown City Rockers.
