"Listen to what the Jabbawockee sees and witness the sound of The Bangerz," said Phil Tayag of Jabbawockeez. "We are proud to present something more than an album. This is the sound of MÜS.I.C."

A six-man unit with more than 15 years of DJ and production experience, The Bangerz have had their original music featured during MTV's "Randy Jackson Presents America's Best Dance Crew" and several national television commercials, including McDonald's and Pepsi. Veterans of the stage, The Bangerz have performed live alongside artists including, Afrika Bambaataa, The Clipse, ?uestlove (of The Roots), Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Kid Koala and The Rapture, as well as toured internationally with Jabbawockeez, Carlos Mencia and DJ Z-Trip. Their official album, Vi.R.Us, debuted in 2003.

"We're thrilled to have the ‘Jabbawockeez MÜS.I.C.' album finished," said Nick Ngo, The Bangerz and Jabbawockeez Music Producer and DJ. "Jabbawockeez has been dancing to The Bangerz music since 2003, so the world will finally get a chance to see the hard work we put into what we call ‘The sight and sound of movement.'"

Jabbawockeez has developed a one-of-a-kind style that has been incredibly influential in the dance community, effectively changing the way people view dance around the globe.
