US3 - Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)

US3 é o nome de uma banda de jazz/rap criada pelo compositor e produtor inglês Geoff Wilkinson, em 1992.. A música do grupo assenta numa fusão de jazz e hip-hop, em partes iguais, com uma clara influência da sonoridade do R&B e da soul music, especialmente no último álbum que lançaram.

O som dos US3 parte de uma estrutura base de jazz - recorrendo a samplers de gravações clássicas - mescladas com rimos de dance music e melodias cantadas em e stilo rap. A este original som aderiram uma grande quantidade de jovens - inicialmente reticentes com a "estranheza" da sonoridade da banda, mas que depois se renderam á fusão do hip-hop com outros géneros musicais.
