4Hero is a group from across the pond. I just got onto the group through my Pandora playlist under a Janelle Monae profile. The latest effort is considered Nu Jazz, not Neo Soul which is refreshing because there seems to be a trend towards really bad music that is being accepted simply because it is different. 4hero actually is a lot more involved than a title can say. They have been around for over twenty years, but their initial club and deejay roots made them lesser known entities in the States. (I'm actually surprised I've slept on them considering their roots are in Hip-Hop culture particularly breakbeats) With this recent delve into NuJazz, featuring artists over various tracks, they should gain the opportunity to pick up a broader fan base. The track below is from the album Extensions. I guess it could be considered a BlakRoc type project with multiple artists. As far as picking up a new fan base, with their longevity in the game do they need a broader fan base? Visit the site here and check out the music by clicking the link below.
