M@ Peoples Collective

The M@ (Matt) Peoples Collective has been making waves in the New Orleans and Southeast music scene for less than a year, but has already collected a strong and supportive following. Opening for nationally touring acts such as Gift of Gab, Mr. Lif, Pretty Lights, and TwoFresh; their progressive brand of electronic hip-hop has really turned heads and broken necks. Emcee and bandleader M@ Peoples is backed by the drummer and keyboardist of GravityA (Mike Fou and Drew Meez respectively). The operation consists of live-looped instrumentation, acoustic and electronic drums, and some of the freshest freestyles, writtens, and hooks that hip-hop has seen in a minute. Their live show is truly original, strives on improvisation, and sprinkles in teasers of your favorite hip-hop classics. Their approach gives the audience a glimpse of what it's like to create hip-hop and electronic music in the studio, with a wall of sound so well layered it'll have you wondering if it's really only two musicians providing the instrumental backdrop for Peoples' dizzying wordplay and delivery.
