ALERT'S BIO:
Birthed from an ideal of passions past, Boogalu & Moral One left
behind the industry hype, label deals and blog buzz for a different
approach to hip hop music: Kingdom minded success. The past 8 years have
had the pair in various groups and crews; playing everything from youth
groups and parking lots to sold out clubs and European festivals. But
things are different now. Focuses have changed. Priorities are clearer.
Their musical roots cross all genres, from Ruben
Blades to The Roots; Rich Mullins to Madlib, Boogalu and Moral One cut
and paste their influences to create music that can’t be labeled- and
the results are clear as day. The solo debut from Boogalu [also] titled Alert
is an aural mural of live instrumentation, classic drum breaks and new
school synths- a fitting musical bed to declare God’s redemptive
salvation.
Then May 2010 saw the release of Indian Colors, 30 minutes of
rightly distinct hip hop music about the amazing work God is doing in
India. In December of 2009 Boogalu left on a sudden trip to India and
came back with songs of transformation, prayer and martyrdom. Musically
scripted by moral one using Bollywood soundtracks and Indian funk-
Indian Colors is a record Boogalu & Moral One weren’t looking to
make, but thus far it’s the duo’s proudest work.
Since the beginning its been a goal of Alert
to build a close-knit band of brothers- and now Boogalu and Moral One
are supported by Dan “Boom” Jones on the bass and AJ Alvarez on guitar.
Taking the music and ministry further then the two could ever take it on
their own. The 4-man team creates something truly special and unique
that’s not seen in Hip-Hop today; and it’s witnessed when they take the
stage and when you hear the music. Booalu, Moral One, Boom and AJ are
now in the studio creating the first fitting full band effort for Alert, and as expected- its something that you have never heard before.
