On May 21st 2005 Black Violin, two classically trained musicians took home the title ‘2005 Apollo Legends’ which catapulted them to international fame. These two gentlemen, Kev Marcus and Wil B along with their DJ TK have created the ultimate synergy between classical and Hip-Hop music, and with it an incredible opportunity to reach young children. Since their triumph at the Apollo, Black Violin has toured with Linkin Park’s lead singer Mike Shinoda throughout the country and abroad, performed at the NFL Kick off party with ‘Diddy’, performed at the Billboard Awards with Alicia Keys, been featured on Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson, Lil Kim, and Brooke Hogan’s albums, and has been giving an Award by the Brooklyn Center for Performing Arts for their Outstanding Contributions to Middle & High School Performing Arts Students. Kev Marcus, and Wil b, both graduates of Dillard Performing Arts High School, used their musical talents to earn full scholarships to college. Now Black Violin wants to make sure that America’s young people get the same exposure to the arts, and therefore the same opportunity that they did.
Wil-B
Wil-B ‘Simply Sick’ age 26, attended Dillard High School of Performing Arts, and attempted to join the school band in efforts to play the saxophone. At the age of 13 he was mistakenly put into the string program instead of the band; but as luck would have it he mastered the viola and grew to love it.

Maybe because this guys are playing on an classical instrument and transfer some classic stuff to hip hop sounds (e.g. Brandenburg which is highly inspired by the Brandenburg Concertos by J.S.Bach)? Some people see a violin and say "yeah, classic!"... -.-

What the fuck! Why is this hiphop tagged as classic. Rhiana is more classic than them.

Really like this... But I'd really like to hear a female's voice on one of their records (I don't know all of their songs so they might already have a song like that, in that case I never said anything). I love violins, and they sound great in hiphop songs.
