Standing on the Corner is an experimental collective from Brooklyn known for blending abstract hip-hop, free jazz, poetry, lo-fi indie rock, salsa, and various genres in their collage-like recordings. Established in 2014 by Gio Escobar, a Puerto Rican New Yorker, the project initially named Children of the Corner evolved with producer Jasper Marsalis (Slauson Malone). Their self-titled debut in 2016 and subsequent releases like Red Burns and collaborations with artists such as King Krule and Earl Sweatshirt have garnered critical acclaim and expanded their fan base. The group's unique sound, described as a mix of warped vocals, scratchy guitars, and sludgy drum machines, has been featured in publications like Fader and Pitchfork, solidifying their presence in the music scene.

With a discography that falls between a radio play and an audio scrapbook of New York City life, Standing on the Corner has showcased their experimental approach through projects like Red Burns and the EP G-E-T-O-U-T!! The Ghetto, released in 2020. Their journey from self-releasing their debut album on September 11, 2016, to collaborating with renowned artists and gaining recognition in the music industry reflects their dynamic evolution and commitment to pushing boundaries in sound exploration. As they continue to captivate audiences with their unpredictable and genre-defying music, Standing on the Corner remains a standout force in the experimental music landscape.
