about

“Emcee Jack King and drummer Nathan Hubbard were already well established in their respective musical fields. So while it might not seem obvious that they’d form a band together, it’s a natural collaboration in hindsight. Parker Meridien—a trio that also features bassist John Rieder—backs abstract hip-hop flows and spoken word passages with psychedelic funk arrangements. It’s a fresh take on a hip-hop band, and their debut album is loaded with grooves.”
- Jeff Terich (sdcitybeat.com/music/notes-from-the-smoking-patio/the-seven-best-san-diego-albums-of-2017/)
