We’re all ears for new music here @ PinBoard. That’s probably one of the main reasons we started this blog. I like hearing new artists/bands; I love hearing those who enjoy experimenting and those who do what they do well. So when Michelle over at Audible Treats sent me the press release for DOOMTREE and after I heard their joint “Game Over” I got pretty interested…

The five rappers and four producers that make up the Doomtree crew have been powering through the underground community since their inception, with critically acclaimed releases from their home-grown label, including their own False Hopes series of EPs, and the release of P.O.S.’s Ipecac Neat (named “Best Album of the Year” by The Star Tribune). Since meeting in junior high, they’ve all lived and worked together, helping to create the dynamic and tireless work ethic they have developed as a group. Over the past five years, Doomtree has gained momentum as one of the best hip-hop collectives in the Midwest. 

The self-titled album, DOOMTREE, is a landmark for the group and a self-proclaimed beast. With 21 tracks, not only does the record build the momentum of the crew, but it also highlights their talents as solo artists. As Doomtree says, “The anthems are victorious, the storysongs are full of dream and intrigue, and the bangers reset pacemakers.”

DOOMTREE – “Game Over”

I think it’s cool?! The beat is definitely hot and I like their style a lot.

…What you thinkin?

If you like what you’ve heard/seen/read, then head over to their Myspace and/or their Official Site and show them some love.

Peace, Love & DOOMTREE
