The originators of Rap music have a lot to be happy (or worried) about in 2008. Not only has the music dominated the Pop charts but also inspired a generation of fans into making this once exclusively inner-city art form of funky beats and rhythmic poetry as their personal outlet for suburban angst and middle class malcontent. This distinctly North American phenomenon is still considered by many to be underground but the impact of this particular sub-genre is surprisingly tremendous. Enter Doomtree, a Minnesota-based, Rhymesayers-affiliated collective ready to bombard your eardrums with this ever emerging brand of music.

For those uninitiated, the 11 person collective is made up of RSE’s P.O.S., Dessa, Cecil Otter, Sims, Mike Mictlan on the vocal front and Lazerbeak, Paper Tiger, Turbo Nemesis, MK Larada, Tom Servo and Emily Bloodmobile on the boards, decks, etc.
