If you were thinking a band inspired by jumpsuit clad, proton pack wielding Ghostbusters, you are definitely wrong. This isn’t a group of science geeks either. They don’t claim to be saviors of hip-hop and they aren’t skateboarding hipsters. [PROTON] is a rap duo delivering nostalgic rhyme styles over futuristic beats, to those listening for something new.
Influenced by early 90′s hip-hop, [PROTON] consists of E-qua and Fly, respective Atlanta and Chicago natives. Their music innovatively fuses electronic, rock and alternative melodies with traditional hip-hop elements, pushing them into a new genre. [PROTON]’s music touches on many aspects of what is being experienced in everyday life. From the present war in Iraq to ex-girlfriends and dating, E-qua and Fly keep listeners grounded in reality. [PROTON]’s song catalog has something for everyone to relate to.

With the sole intention of pushing hip-hop forward, [PROTON] is redefining modern-day hip-hop with a positive spin. Make sure you check out [PROTON] on MySpace, for their upcoming releases as well as show dates. These guys are really dope live, so check them out…

just heard “notice me” omg i think i’m in love
i know i already commented twice but i just heard the last one and i’m stoked that they used U2′s “without you” to make that song.
i wish this group much success and i hope the music industry doesn’t make them into clones
I almost had a seizure looking at those flashing lights.
All the songs are nice. They are very relaxing songs to listen to.

it appears proton’s time has finally come, and the world of music will be better for it!
I have this strange feelin’ that these alt-hop and electro-rap acts are gonna takeover!!! In a time where many feel that “hip-hop is dead” thanks to the greedy corporations and their “studio ganstas”, I think these innovative acts will be the future!!!! If you like these cats, ya’ll should listen to Spank Rock, Uffie, Princess Superstar, Chromeo, DJ Medhi, Peaches, and Avenue D.
FKN LOVE IT.
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT.
im feelin the music. i love me some good guys!
