Visionaries

Visionaries is a hip hop band from Los Angeles. The group is notable for focusing on positive issues as well as the diverse ethnic origins of its members. The group has been officially together since 1995. Amongst the group’s six members (LMNO, 2Mex, Lord Zen, Dannu, KEYKOOL, & DJ Rhettmatic), they’ve released over twenty solo and side projects, including four full-length albums as a group on Up Above Records, “Galleries” (1997), “Sophomore Jinx” (2001), “Pangaea” (2004) and “We Are The Ones(2006)”. They have collaborated with some of the finest talents in hip-hop, and have played with artist such as Linkin Park, Nas, Wu-Tang Clan, kommon, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Dilated Peoples, De La Soul, Blackalicious, and Jurassic 5.

Pushing forward independently and spreading universal love through art, Visionaries are breaking down barriers with their own brand of message music. The group was acknowledged for their positive impact and contribution to hip-hop in 2005, as they were formally inducted into the Universal Zulu Nation. Their music was also recently featured on the MTV feature film “Volcano High,” the Warner Brothers’ box-office hit “Oceans Twelve,” and one of Midway’s best-selling video games of 2005 “Blitz: The League.”
