One Block Radius

Explicit Version. Los Angeles-based trio One Block Radius, signed to Mercury Records, and they have the 2008 summer-song 'You Got Me'. The single's intuitive mix of old-school R&B dosed with fresh Hip-Hop rhymes and beat-box grooves won savvy Alternative programmers. One Block Radius - Marty and MDA from L.A., and Z-Man from San Francisco - was formed in 2003, when Z-Man took the bait and agreed to roll south to sing and write some tunes with Marty and MDA. After releasing Long Story Short in 2005, they hit the road as opening act for De La Soul, The Pharcyde, Matisyahu, KRS-One, Trick Daddy and others. Since then, OBR's songs have been heard in film and tv projects including American Gun and 50 Pills. In 2006 they also released Cut Some Static. OBR has described their sound as what would happen "if Steve Winwood, Hall & Oates, Earth, Wind and Fire and David Bowie listened to so 12 tracks.
