Formation
The Procussions started as a 6 man group in 1998, when
members of two b-boy crews decided to stop having rivalry
and to make changes in the Colorado music scene.
Name
The name Procussion is a hybrid divided in two main
elements, "pro", being the prefix and Cussion being the
root. "Pro" meaning to be in favor of, or to be in support
of, and "Cussion" taken from the word Per-Cussion, which
means to impress a sound up on the ear. When fused together,
the two elements create the definition of this musical
movement. Being a Progressive Sound, Professional Sound,
Protesting Sound, Probing Sound, Procuring Sound, The
Procussions Sound.

The Procussions were selected to tour with A Tribe Called
Quest in September and October 2006.

group, the official MySpace bulletin went out on January
18th, 2008: "With everything we could say about the
industry, the point is, piracy will destroy an independent's
career. We want to thank everyone who actually invested in
this group and helped it too it's last breath! We owe you so
much! That's why Stro and I will do our best to carry on our
solo careers and work together when possible."
