about
"Are you sure you're from New Orleans?" This is the question Quotable is usually asked, immediately after performing. Audiences are left surprised by the group’s clever lyrics, polished flows, and grimy production, qualities often missing from the city’s artists. “If you be yourself, you don’t have to worry about being different. Your music speaks for itself,” explains 0-T. “People here aren’t used to hearing skills, and people in other cities never heard New Orleans like this. We don’t remind you of anyone.” Quotable’s members have performed, battled, and appeared on radio stations from Texas to Florida, building a respectable following in the Southern hip-hop scene. Earlier this year, Quotable entered Okayplayers' True Notes contest, and their submission was ranked 4th among 4,000+ entries. Quotable is also part of the New Orleans collective, The N.O.vators. Last year, they released a compilation of original material, Crescent City Classic Vol.1. Not only was it a success locally, but it received glowing reviews in national publications. The Washington Sun ranked it .5 in their top 10 albums of 2003 (for the full review, visit NOvators.com). The release features 9 Quotable appearances, including their underground classic, “Doesn’t Seem the Same.” The single has been in rotation on 91.5 FM for over a year, and a crowd favorite at live shows.
