” Kurious : Delusional “
7 days ago KURIOUS dropped a brand new joint for 2014 entitled ” Delusional “…It’s nice to hear the CM Mob trooper still hasn’t lost a step…
Speaking of CM Mob, check out this interview by FRANK 151 that goes in-depth about the crews beginnings, key players, etc….
There’s a natural weakness to the memory of hip-hop. For a movement that transcends so many media most of its history is still firmly defined by its musical output. What’s said on a record tends to become the permanent record.
This is the slightly unfortunate case of the CM Crew (or Mob or Famalam). Immortalized on Kurious’ Constipated Monkey LP and the KMD song of the same name, the present day hip-hop listener might easily mistake the collective for a mere rap crew. It’s not that and it never was, exactly. While their ranks certainly boasted some serious musical talents—Kurious Jorge, KMD, MF Grimm, Powerule—CM was, in fact, a much looser affiliation with roots that can be traced back into the graffiti underground of the early ’80s and branches that have since grown into all pockets of the entertainment industry and beyond.
“It started as a graffiti crew before we were rapping,” says CM founder Kadi Agueros, who then wrote under the name EROTIC. “Criminal Minded was one of the names, Cash Money was another.”
