The 49ers, comprising of Jas Mace and Marchitect and hailing out of Newark, Delaware, are not two wanna-be football stars from San Francisco. These two Hip-Hop entrepreneurs have been blowing up clubs and venues across the country since 1995 when they where the focal members of the Hip-Hop conglomerate The Outfit. The Outfits first release, The Soundtrack to Life, had national distribution and received positive reviews from radio D.J.s and critics across the country. Their first 12 release was titled Beauty of the Week and remained on the college rap radio charts for over 12 weeks. Due to a string of unfortunate events, The Outfit has since dismantled but The 49ers have continued recording throughout the years working on various solo and group projects. They have been featured at the 2006 Allhiphop.comâs Breeding Ground showcase and won Delawareâs best Hip-Hop artist of 2007 in Out-and-About Magazine. The 49ers have also starred in, and produced the soundtrack to, the award-winning documentary called Guilty or Innocent: Use of the N Word.

The 49ers debut album, Equilibrium, was released in 2007 and has been well received by critics and fans alike. Philadelphiaâs popular Hip-Hop website, 215HipHop.com , took notice to Equilibrium as one that was completely produced and written by The 49ers with no guest appearances and claims, âThe 100 we do it all our self method produces nothing but high quality music, which these guys do extremely well.â Equilibrium is full of live instruments, with a blend of unique sampling, and clever lyrics well beyond your nursery rhyme rappers that saturate the radio airwaves today. HipHopLinguistics.com also appreciated the versatility of the album saying âThis album seems to hold a great balance of lyrics, rhymes, production, deejay cuts, mixes and samples. All wrapped together in one, as if the purpose of the album was to take a little bit of everything and successfully mix it into sixteen tracks of hip-hop.â While promoting the album, The 49ers have shared the stage and networked with many of Hip-Hop's superstars such as Common, Life Savas, Puff Daddy, Mary J. Blige, Camp-lo, Jin, The Bootcamp Clique, and The Hieroglyphics. Grouchy Greg, CEO and founder of the popular website ALLHIPHOP.com, referred to The 49ers as âa group that is definitely pioneering a new sound and bringing a much needed change to a genre of music that has been flooded with copy cats and imitations.â

The 49ers are signed to the greatest Hip-Hop record label in Japan - GoonTrax Records. The 49ers first Japanese release is titled State of the Art and has been well received in Japan. Jas Mace explains the title behind their new album, âState of the Art is like a double edged blade. We called it State of the Art because itâs a phrase that means new, fresh, sophisticated, or advanced. In addition, we are referring to the State of Hip-Hop, which is a beautiful art form that is currently in disarray.â To solidify their position in the Japanese Hip-Hop market, they have been touring the beautiful country of Japan and working on their follow up album to State of the Art already. Jas Mace and Marchitect are extremely excited to be taking their brand of Hip-Hop to the land of the rising sun.
