"SLEEP NOW"

Nominated BEST HIP HOP ALBUM from the 2007 SAN DIEGO MUSIC AWARDS

ALBUM REVIEWS:

"This seven-song EP is a cross-section of roots-hip hop, indy rock and politically-committed soul. GOS is composed of classically-trained and self-taught musicians whose mix of talents have created one of the more original
sounds to come out of the San Diego music scene. GOS makes good use of theirlove of punk, hip hop, soul, and down-tempo to create a head-nodding yet still thought-provoking sound."

-Angela Carone, Culture Lust on www.KPBS.org


"Sleep Now is a refreshingly jazzy album that illustrates how powerful talented
live instrumentation can be in hip-hop...Genius of Soul mix mellow, funky keys
and guitars with solid rhyming to make this a perfect light-hearted, summertime
listen"

—Sohrob Nikzad, SD CityBeat

"...chilled-out smoky lounge jazz sound combined with some slick
lyricism...There’s nothing amateurish going on here, just the work of some true
to form geniuses"
