In your face, with that raw yet unique flow continuing the bay area legacy. mixed cultures colliding yet coming to gether as a force to create some good music. Given only the 15minutes on stage and balancing there own personal lives Above levels sceme to have it going on. Just alittle momentum and above levels stayed tru to thier game.

Making the group stick and putting there differences aside ,could only be done with the enginering and the glue produced by Mr. Ages and Dj Drama, brothers inspiried by the sounds of the mission, trail blazing there own voice of what hip-hop was to them. Starting out of the basement like any young Dj whose parents couldn't understand ..Yes like alot of dj's ,the young man known as drama was mixing and rocking house parties , Creating a buzz,and doing what he loves. Alot of which place him in the lead to take such enormous step in making a group of his own.

Another local rapper,and highschool buddy was "Score1' a humerous yet intilecual fellow who brought the matters of today into his music VERY MUCH IN THE HEART OF HIP-HOP. The Flash and the excitement the people felt to hear music and where this came from many would still wounder. What Music did for these artist could be heard in songs like "A Youngsters Life", and the Track "Survive" made by Mr. ages And fellow engineer Soul Touch Rob , mixed at the enhancers studios, located in Frisco. Like most of the young and hungry the artist wanted to see some money and continued to create. So leaders had to step it up , and Artist Roc Roo hella did his thing on the bands second album "Relevant Elements". The music was intense from beginning to End. Friendship were made and life was good,but being young and succesful the Eyes and ears of the law enforcement were plotting quietly waiting for a chance to mess up thing for the guys . the chance on making it in the music buisness is a tuff one and the constant pressures of life were linguring outside the studio doors

What made these guys a good group ?Thats an easy one, they all had heart! The fans and loved ones would quickly shout it out at every event "Stay High above levels cant settle for less" Lyrics to 1 of there popular songs. And to this day they could be heard around the city by the bay At car shows Local clubs. Loved and hated the group moved forward and some artist went on and did solo albums.
