Standing On The Corner

Born in the underground of Crown Heights in Brooklyn around Gio Escobar and Jack Nolan, Standing On The Corner takes shape from 2014 after an initial incarnation under the name Children of the Corner. The collective develops music blending experimental jazz, alternative hip-hop, deformed soul, sound collages, and hypnagogic pop, with a fragmented writing where tracks progress by loops, spoken voices, interludes, and shifts in perspective. Standing On The Corner released a self-titled debut album in 2016, followed by Red Burns in 2017, a record that further widens this work of urban montage and discontinuous narration. The band's trajectory is also part of a network of collaborations tied to the New York scene, with credits on Earl Sweatshirt's Some Rap Songs in 2018, Solange's When I Get Home in 2019 and Danny Brown's uknowhatimsayin¿ the same year. After the EP G-E-T-O-U-T!! The Ghetto in 2020 and several related projects released on the margins of performances and installations, Standing On The Corner continues its evolution with new tracks released in 2025, before the release of Standing on the Corner II, first distributed on physical media in 2025 and then in expanded formats in 2026. Behind its collective format, Standing On The Corner maintains a moving identity, both musical, visual, and performative.
