About
Energetic. Melodic. Kinetic beats, both electronic and sample-based. Eclectic sound. Strong reggae influence. Intelligent. Catchy hooks. More singing than you'd imagine. Earthy. Unexpected. High-quality raps with extra-clean delivery. A hard working, distinctive artist.
A recovered scientist, Oso Negro makes music of his life and time, embracing the timeless power of lyrical consciousness and hunger for life. "Breachin' kids thoughts, but aiming at the minds of men, finding them fighting tidal strength." –Oso. A twist of reggae, a splash of crooning and the ever-present spirit of live music feed this hungry bear’s desire to mix it up, keep it fun and stimulating.
Oso hit the road a lot over the last decade, participating in several regional tours and playing shows from Seattle to Los Angeles to Austin, Montana, and just about everywhere between. In addition, he's also been getting plenty of radio play in the region, on both terrestrial and internet radio stations in WA, ID, UT, NV, SD, MA, and MS, and has been interviewed multiple times on Boise Community Radio, KRBX 89.9/93.5, as well as on Monster Music 92.7 FM, Twin Falls, ID.
Oso Negro has supported such acts as Shabazz Palaces, Schoolboy Q, Ab-Soul, Dilated Peoples, Souls of Mischief, SOJA, the Chicharones, Rehab, Grupo Fantasma, Katchafire, Cunninlynguists, Sage Francis, Homeboy Sandman, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Mickey Avalon, Tribal Seeds, Tonedeff, Abtract Rude, Myka 9, Scarub, Sweatshop Union, K-OS, Ceschi, Anuhea, Seedless, DJ Zeph & Azeem, Astronautalis, Mac Lethal, Shad, Awol One, Pigeon Hole, Sleep of Oldominion, Darktime Sunshine, Ugly Duckling, Ecid, Cecil Otter, B.Dolan, Qwel and Maker, Jackie Chain, and Poppa Grows Funk, among others. In addition, Oso has been part of the Treefort Music Fest (Boise), Alive After 5 Summer Concert Series (Boise), Neon Reverb Music Festival (Las Vegas), Rootdown Fest (Denver), Interchange Fest (Bozeman), Boise Hip-Hop Festival, Boise State University's "Bronco Welcome" Week, H.O.P.E. Fest, Urban Arts Festival (Salt Lake City), Chamberlin Rail Jam (Bozeman) 4 & 20 Blackbird Festival (Weed, CA), and Promenade Music Festival (Boise).
Influenced by the raw imagery of Wu-Tang, harmonies and gaze toward nature of Goodie Mob, mysticism of the Doors, and transcendence of topics by the likes of Aesop Rock, Cage, and El-P, Oso rarely if ever receives outright comparisons to other artists. His emceeing has been described as melodious, musical, and full of fun patterns. Don't forget the strong reggae and electronic undertones in his music, either.

Bobby Frost
https://www.facebook.com/BobbyFrostMusic
Bobby was born in burbs of DC. It was here that he started writing music with a few buddies in for a waning punk rock scene. Countless hours strumming power chords and going to shows led to the creation of a 5 piece punk group. Need Not Apply, though short-lived kick started his passion for lyrics and playing live shows. After baring witness to the death of punk and rise of emo his musical tastes switched to Hip-hop and his creative efforts became centered around video productions. By the end of HS acts like Pharcyde, Ice Cube,The Gza, Dr. Dre, Gangstarr, B.I.G., Dead Prez, Blackstar and Common had taken precedence over the rock-centric underground and were the new soundtrack to his life and movies.
Once graduated, he moved to Bozeman, MT to pursue a degree in Film and Photography. To his surprise he was met with a hardy hip-hop welcome. Befriending many die hard hip-hoppers and discovering a strong rap scene became the genesis for a whole new level of musical passion. Through these friends and an abundance of live shows grew a strong connection to a horde of West Coast and Midwest artists that were unavailable to him. Shadows on the Sun, God Loves Ugly, Buck Up Princess and Creative Differences joined the likes of The Chronic, The Score and Ready to Die in his record collection and had him open to a whole new branch of hip-hop. Eventually Bozeman itself yielded a slew of local acts, which captivated him. The Black Mask and Eight Track Mind were unhindered by small town dynamics and became frequent players in the scene. In a never ending pursuit of vinyl Bobby decided to buy turntables. Purchasing merch from the acts passing through gave him a huge collection of instrumentals. Armed with crates and tables he began to rock house parties flipping famous beats for up and coming MCs to freestyle over.
Bit by bit things became more concrete. Grabbing the mic occasionally turned into writing lyrics. Spinning for others became producing beats. Flipping records at house parties upgraded to playing shows. A few years and many aliases later Bobby Frost has become a frequent force amongst the Bozeman scene. His lyrics primarily focus on a cinematic storyteller style and beats are chopped straight out of his parents record collection. Most recently, he was asked by Black Mask founder, Maulskull, to participate in The Death By Thr33s project, a massive collaboration between production by Maulskull and lyrics by a multitude (15+) of MCs from around the country. The Death by Thr33s project is available for free download at blackmask.bandcamp.com . A new set becomes available every Wed.
