"Powered by futuristic beats and laser sharp lyrics, this album launches the Underground into outer space. It boils over with bass heavy rhythms so infectious they could get martians to come out of hiding."--Kevin, Amoeba Music, H'wood, CA.
Cosmic Truckaz is a hiphop group based in Inglewood, CA. The two lyricists, (emcee/producer) Big Shame a.k.a. Alphalpha Omega, and (emcee) Smile-Oak a.k.a. Dr. A.A.Aardvarkiologist originally hail from northern cali where they where influenced by many of the pioneering underground hiphop acts in the bay area during the early and mid-'90's ( Del, Digital Underground, Saafir, Hiero, Blackalicious, Charizma & Peanutbutter Wolf, Mystic Journeymen...), as well as eastcoast and so. cal. conscious, hard core, and abstract hiphop artists. After intitially collaborating to record and perform songs in late 1993-'95 as part of a collective of several other east bay emcees known as OES, the crew was split up as core members moved away. Smile-Oak moved to L.A. in '94 and shortly thereafter became a founding member of a hiphop group called People Under The Stairs from whom he'd eventually go his separate way from and move back up to Oakland for a short period. Several years later, Big Shame and Smile-Oak re-united while living in L.A. and formed and started writing and recording songs as Cosmic Truckaz in 2001. Nearly a year later Cosmic Truckaz began performing sets at various hiphop venues in and around L.A. In Jan. 2004, the Truckaz' debut CD, "Recipe For Disaster" was independently released, and is available now at www.cosmictruckaz.com, and several L.A. area underground hiphop outlets. The Truckaz rock songs with the illustriuous and prodigious DJ Obi (djobi.com) killin it on the wheelz ov steel.
