Rootwords, LarynX and VLM met in Switzerland in 2000 and from their diverse backgrounds of Zambia, Ghana and Mexico, emerged A-stout: a musical venture of international proportions delivering consistently high-quality hip-hop.
A-stout brings hip-hop back to its roots and elevates people through meaningful lyrics and unusual references that inspire thought and contemplation.
With a solid fan base established through their underground work on mixtapes and gigs, A-stout has quickly gained a reputation of being in a class of its own. They are now working on their first commercial album while releasing their first party single, Drinks in the summer of 09.
A-stout has been signed to London-based Acuphen Entertainment
