Doomtree - "Doomtree"

Roaring out of Minneapolis in the recent months is Doomtree's first, self-titled album, "Doomtree". This long awaited album has fallowed a series of extended EP's appropriatly titled "False Hopes". Although the Doomtree collective seems to be growing exponentially, the most familiar faces and voices are those of, P.O.S., Mike Mictlan, Sims, Dessa Darling, and Cecil Otter, with Turbo Nemesis, Paper Tiger, and Laser Beak providing beats and cuts. This collaboration of minds combined with the time to perfect their first, official release, leads to "Doomtree" being more than anybody could have hoped for. Each artists puts forth their unique styles while working together to form an amazing crew. It seems that Doomtree has the emotional spectrum covered : Dessa bringing in smooth vocals and empowering poems, POS puts in thoughtful, politically conscious lyrics. Cecil Otter is a refreshing splash of reality, and Mictlan is serious wordplay and lyrical wit and skill. Sims tops it off with a versatile style that packs a punch of metaphors in any song he's in. With 21 tracks, (most new, with a few nice reminders,) it is packed full of dance tracks, mellow tones, and straight crazy-tight hip-hop!
Rating : 5 mics
