The eclectic music of CORE PROjECT is an amalgamation of heavy hip-hop beats, syncopated funk rhythms, and jazzy blues riffs fused with raw urban poetry. Influenced by a wide spectrum of artists, this original organic sound, created through the brotherhood shared by all seven members consisting of two emcees, Stek-Wik (Stephen Stecher) and Kammasutra (Justin Maginn), a full rhythm section including, T- Mills (Todd Miller, bass), Ton'Def (Tony Barbata, drums), HeistBone (M. Got, turntables), C-Rock (Chris Taggart, guitar) and Fingaz, (Nate Hershey, keys), generate an extremely unique atmosphere enveloped in feelings of positivity.

Echoing the true spirit and essence of hip-hop culture, their message is heard loud and clear through the music: unity through understanding. Free speech, freedom of expression, and equality are among the many tenets that form the foundation of the group's mission statement: "We think big and have been granted the wish to live life in unison, as one, the core, layered with love, talent, and respect."

Quickly emerging from the Midwest circuit, this St. Louis-based group is gaining momentum and attention with its unique mixture of live Hip-Hop and acid jazz. Delivering energetic and inspired performances in venues of sll shapes and sizes, CORE PROjECT offers an organic, fresh approach to modern rock and funk with its raw intensity and positive message.

Exposing the world to their music while remaining true to their eclectic roots is the focal point of this seven-man brotherhood showcasing live, real-to-reel-bob-ya-head-hip-hop.
