CPS

[b]CPS[/b] (an acronym for [b]Crosshill Phonk Squad[/b]) from Berlin-Kreuzberg was (and is) one of the most legendary hip-hop live bands of the 1990's. Their eight-piece line-up consisting of drums, bass, guitars, keyboard, as well as a DJ and three MC's, made the band's concerts a live experience of a special kind. The [b]Crosshill Phonk Squad[/b] brought the kettles to a boil and set every house on fire - and their shows alongside bands like Sugar Ray, Dog Eat Dog or the Sex Pistols are unforgotten. [b]CPS[/b] released an full-lenght LP (Firebreaka) and six singles (2Gather, Firebreaka, Jazz/Turn It Up, Phonkey Man, and Beedog/Turn Tha Heat Up). After their break up in 1999, some members of [b]CPS[/b] were still active in bands and founded, among others, [a87841]. In January 2017 [b]CPS[/b] got back together, in a slightly different formation, to rock the stages of your city. New member of the crew is drummer Maser, whom some of you will still remember from his time with the H-Blockx. [b]CPS[/b] is back - so get down with the Phonkey Man and turn it up!
