Los Angeles-based hip-hop group Move.meant began to take shape when Spider introduced longtime friend Just Beats to Sonoma State classmate Champ. They clicked instantly and after recording only a handful of songs, it was obvious they had a special chemistry. Since then, they’ve been hard at work, both in the studio and on the stage.

Few hip-hop acts have sound as strong as Move.meant. When it comes to beats, Just’s versatile production is on par with the best in the game, past and present. Champ’s distinct voice and delivery, intelligent lyrics, and blue collar sensibility set him apart from the average MC and provide direction for the crew s music. And how many groups even have a DJ member anymore, let alone one as creative and solid on the decks as Spider? Collectively, their songs posses a universal quality that makes them accessible to people from all walks of life, from black to white, young to old, underground to commercial. In fact, one listen will reveal that the music truly speaks for itself.

Move.meant also boasts an innovative live show. Just (a drummer since the age of six) plays an electronic drum kit linked to a sampler, which allows for improvisation and gives programmed beats a live feel. With no need for a hype man, Champ controls the crowd on the mic, while interacting with the audience and running through line after line without missing a beat. Spider adds the finishing touches on the turntables, tying together a seamlessly organized set.

Came across them years ago when I found some mix-tape that Spider put out. Since then I have followed Move.meant and am glad they're doing well, just wish more people knew of them.

i have to say that "Few hip-hop acts have sound as strong as Move.meant. When it comes to beats, Just’s versatile production is on par with the best in the game, past and present." is a hightly inacurate quotation. this production is tired, old fashioned, and not even that good as throwback music. these guys suck.
