2002 promises to be a stellar for veteran artists as well as some fresh new voices.

Enter Lojique. While they appear to be novices, their graduated skill of rap passes all tests with flying colors. Lojique heralds a fresh sound comprised of abstract material packaged with rhythms to brief the unlearned of the true meaning of real hip hop. They show promise as a force to be reckoned with, arriving on the scene with lyrical satire and a fluid vibe.

The debut album Language Arts educates the masses with quizzical verbs and nouns, together producig a smooth composition of hip hop talent. The three-man crew devises a sculpted piece of music that goes beyond the language barrier and into the soul. Rhythm is up front, and true to album title, the emphasis is on lyrical finesse.

Class is in session as Othello (Tyson Pumphrey), Page One (Michael Phillips) and Nickels (Jackson Johnson) take center stage to relay some thought provoking material. Lojique defies contradiction by delivering a futuristic/rootsy style of hip hop. Their innovative vibe is at once indigenous to hip hop and brings in their own flavor.

Page One states "...the hip hop generation is maturing now and there is a real relief for spiritual truth." Lojique stands poised to lead today's hip hop generation towards the revelation of truth in a relative way. Each track conveys a lesson that determinedly aims to seep through to the hearts of those void of Christ.

The inaugural cut, "Rockashow" is an invitation to join the lyrical journey (which goes on for a full 17 tracks). "Methodical" as well as "Case Logic" are outstanding cuts presenting the trio's urge for all to gain knowledge. "Hip hop is temporary; the cause of Christ is eternal", says Othello.
