Bio
The San Francisco Bay Area is home to El Jefe, and El Jefe are at home with hip-hop, jazz, dub, grunge, reggae, R&B and mariachi infused music. The six-piece group's first full length album is called “El Jefe’s Amorphous Phormula” .The theme apparent in the initial reviews is that El Jefe are breaking new ground in the California underground Hip Hop scene. In fact, the mission of the band has been to bring freshness to the state of hip-hop: they are succeeding!

Having wrapped up a successful 2004 summer gig with the Vans Warped Tour, El Jefe is finishing up their debut video and playing their asses off at venues up and down the US west coast.
 
Quote
"El Jefe give us a taste of what the Bizkits might possibly sound like if they ever grow up.
El Jefe have opened for the likes of KRS-One and De La Soul and should be carving out their own little niche – something dark yet welcoming. They produce hip-hop tracks that sound like camp fire songs from the industrial outskirts of a city – songs about dusk, friendship, modern life and MCing. And maybe their natural habitat is the outer reaches of the charts. They’re making some good music.
" (Crud Magazine- June 2004)
