LA Symphony is a hip-hop group from Los Angeles, California. Current members of L.A. Symphony are FLYNN, UNO Mas, CookBook, Joey the Jerk, and Sharlok Poems.

Formed in 1997, the band released their first album, 1999's Composition No. 1 on independent record label eartube empire. They then recorded an album entitled Call It What You Want for Squint Entertainment, containing tracks produced by the band and by Mario C, will.i.am and Prince Paul. Squint never released the album, but they did release a promotional EP titled Big Broke L.A. that contained tracks from Call It What You Want.
LA Symphony independently released the Baloney EP in 2002. Originally, 1000 limited edition copies were pressed, hand-numbered and shipped in resealable sandwich bags. Baloney was later re-pressed.
Following the Baloney EP, LA Symphony was signed to Gotee Records. They then released The End Is Now in 2003, Less Than Zero in 2005 and Disappear Here in 2005.
On November 22, 2006 LA Symphony announced on their MySpace blog [1] that they will be releasing Unleashed, a mixtape of unreleased material in late January or early February 2007. Guests on the mixtape include Posdnuos and Awol One.
