ABOUT | Vokab Kompany

Anchor 1

"A sound who's genre goes something like hip-hop, soul, electro, funk. You have two Emcee's who charge sped-up lyrical flows; made to sound effortless... seamless synergy with their voices and their lyrics are playfully vivacious and positive... layered with creative electro beats."

- Sam Dorman NBC

"Vokab Kompany is another act that refuses to be pigeonholed. Two MCs might lead you to believe that it's hip hop, but that doesn't begin to tell the story. The sevenpiece band from San Diego played for more than an hour, a set that was at times funky, jazzy, heavy, bouncy, even bluegrassy...And it all made sense. Through it all, the crowd was treated to microphonic gymnastics of the dueling MCs, Rob Hurt and Burkey. The group is legit; see them"

Continuing their studded career, Vokab Kompany has announced their first album since 2016, Small Viktories, and have joined forces with Denver-based Jpod on the opening track “Like That”. While Gravitas is mainly an electronic label, Vokab Kompany has carved their niche with their rich blends of influences creating another vibey masterpiece with this newest album.

“Like That” begins with an enticing vocal sample and muffled electro-synth before dropping into a bass-driven beat that injects damning energy throughout the entirety of the track. In true Vokab fashion, Burkey and Robbie rock their verses while going back and forth giving “Like That” a groovy flow. The track is full of Jpod’s genius production, but the nuanced synths and experimental bass sounds make “Like That” an instant ear tickler.
