Artist History The roots of ALS' Grooves goes back as far as the formation of the hip-hop band Justice System and days prior. Many of those who are familiar with Justice System know Coz as the bassist holding down the bottom and Mo' Betta as the saxophonist adding a melodic jazz twist to the band's sound. Over the years, Justice System has consistently been applauded for its strong, intelligent, and original musical content. Many of the band's musical ideas spawned from the minds of Coz and Mo' Betta, two individuals who have a wide variety of playing experiences and musical tastes between them. But some of the ideas that were being generated by these two musicians did not always neatly fit into the realm of what Justice System was all about.
