I’d like to introduce you to a new client of mine – Flo Mob. Learn more about this Austin-based rap group by reading their bio below or visiting their MySpace page.
Flo Mob is an Austin, Texas-based rap group with more than 10 years of experience performing together.
When people think about Flo Mob, they think of more than just music. They travel and perform like a real mob. Their energetic stage show keeps audiences entertained with top-notch lyrics and production. Flo Mob is a hybrid of knowledge, skill and fun but with swag, all wrapped up into a beautiful, shiny package.
The trio of men who make up Flo Mob are brothers Cedrick “HPT” Mason and Carnell “Cornbread” Gulley along with friend Derrick “Mr. Critical” McKinney. HPT and Bread met Mr. Crit in high school and the three had an immediate connection.
Flo Mob was created because the group felt something was missing from the Austin rap scene. When Bread was in California working on music, Mr. Crit and HPT would call him and share what they’d written over the phone. The magic spark was ignited. Bread came back to ATX and Flo Mob started buying beats from a local producer. Eventually, they were able to buy their own equipment and record their music at home.
The group struggled as a rap act in a rock ‘n’ roll and blues city. They began to perform around town at clubs and talent shows, and eventually won a local talent show four times in a row! They knew they were onto something when Flo Mob was named “Austin’s favorite rap group” by the Austin American Statesman.
Flo Mob has brought a worldwide spotlight on the ATX through their many accomplishments. Blaze magazine named Flo Mob “The Next to Blow” in the ATX and highlighted the
group with a full-page feature. Flo Mob is also honored that “What You Know About That Wood!” was named the number one song on the Texas Top 100 Countdown.Flo Mob draws inspiration from Marvin Gaye, the Isley Brothers, Michael Jackson, Prince, Tupac, Ice Cube, Biggie Smalls and countless others.
Flo Mob has headlined more than 100 local events, parties and fundraisers with their library of more than 500 songs. They have also opened for acts like Bun B of U.G.K., Lil Troy, Too Short, Lil Flip, Swisher House and many more.
Flo Mob is a family – they fight, they hug, they wrestle, but at the end of the day, they have a common goal – shining the light on Austin’s growing rap scene.
