Listen up, we've got a special treat for all you out there today. Based in North Carolina (particularly Durham), members Pierce Freelon, Aden Darity (whom I have the pleasure of knowing by the way), and DJ Pillzbury make up the hip-hop group known as Language Arts. Language Arts has traveled all over the country, performing (as Pierce says) "shows, community workshops, Hip-Hop education seminars, lectures, clubs, festivals - anything we can get our hands on." They have performed with such artists as The Last Poets, Nnenna Freelon (Pierce's 6-time Emmy nominated jazz vocalist mother), Dead Prez, DJ Skaz Digga, and even such names as Grand Master Flash and Maya Angelou. Most of this information was taken from their website.

I don't really know how to put this any other way: These guys are great.  This is my favorite song of theirs', out of the ones I've listened to. Carolina Girl has a great rhythm and lyrics. I especially liked how they incorporated so much NC into it. Some native Tar Heels will definitely enjoy this. But even if your not a Tar Heel, check them out! Peace out.
