The Visionaries

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the hip hop band. For other uses, see Visionaries.

The Visionaries is a hip hop group from Los Angeles, California. The group is notable for focusing on positive issues as well as the diverse ethnic origins of its members. The group formed in 1995, and have since released four full-length albums on Up Above Records. The six members of the group have collectively released over twenty solo and side projects. They have collaborated and performed with many other hip-hop artists, including Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, Common, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Dilated Peoples, De La Soul, Blackalicious, and Jurassic 5.

Pushing forward independently and spreading universal love through art, the Visionaries are breaking down barriers with their own brand of message music.[citation needed] In 2005, the group was formally inducted into the Universal Zulu Nation as an acknowledgment for their contributions to hip-hop.[citation needed] Their music was also recently featured on the MTV feature film “Volcano High” and one of Midway’s best-selling video games of 2005 "Blitz: The League".[citation needed]
