Standing on the Corner

Formed in 2014, Standing on the Corner is a New York music collective based in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. The group is led by Gio Escobar (aka Gio Demarcus, Shamel Cee Mystery), who serves as its primary vocalist and songwriter. Besides Gio, members of the group include Lila Ramani (guitar) Nate Cox (drums) Syl Dubenion (saxophone Tomin Perea Chamblee (clarinet) Savannah Harris (drums) Jack Nolan (rhythm guitar) Oluwaseun Odubiro (bass) and Buz Former members of the group include Slauson Malone (vocals, production, guitar) and Caleb Giles (vocals, production, saxophone) The ensemble’s music is very eclectic and experimental, incorporating elements of jazz, hip-hop, indie, soul, and hypnogogogic pop. This melding of genres has led to the band being labeled as “post-genre.” The group is also very active in the underground hip-hop scene, collaborating with artists such as MIKE, Medhane, Earl Sweatshirt, Danny Brown and Solange. The name Standing on the Corner is likely a reference to “the corner,” which is seen as a hub of black and brown expression and culture. The corner was our magic, our music, our politics Fires raised as tribal dances and war cries Broke out on different corners Power to the people Black power Black is beautiful The corner was our Rock of Gibraltar, our Stonehenge Our Taj Mahal, our monument Our testimonial to freedom, to peace, and to love Down on the corner – The Last Poets from “The Corner”
