Rap/Hip-hop
There’s no debate about it: Audible Mainframe has taken its place as one of hip hop’s most profound outfits. There are other groups that posture rap tactics over live musicianship, but Audible is the only one perched on the ridge where rhyme and rock climax. At the 2006 Mass Industry Committee Awards, Boston, MA's first hip-hop award show, the seven man crew pocketed first prize for Best Live Group, while Audible’s front man, MC Exposition, snatched the trophy for Best Underground Artist, and the group’s DJ, JayCeeOh, rode away with Best Turntablist. In between their own studio albums, Audible lends its collective talents to other artists. The band has collaborated with hip-hop icons Tek and Steele of Smif N Wessun on a live anniversary edition of the duo’s 1996 debut, “Dah Shinin.” To compound the list of legends they’ve worked with, Audible has backed Def Jam originator Slick Rick at his Boston and California tour stops. On top of Audible’s countless write-ups, critical acclaim, MySpace props and recent awards, the group’s knack for rocking crowds of all shapes, tastes and sizes remains its dominant accomplishment.
