The Green Seed – “Drapetomania” (Album Stream)
The dopeness down south is out, courtesy of Birmingham (Alabama, USA) crew The Green Seed. Great expo by Isabel Imperatore of Spin magazine online who declares that they “plant a new D.A.I.S.Y. Age on their refreshing, socially conscious debut effort “Drapetomania.” The Green Seed consists of frontmen R-Tist and C.O.M.P.L.E.T. with dual turntablers DJ FX and DJ Jeff-C back ’em up with the boom-bap break beats and soul samples. The result, a respectful revisitation to classic backback rap stylings with a 21st century spin. Rhyming about everything from the uber-pervasive Internet to Jude Law, The Green Seed gives you pretty much everything you need in their 13-track offering. Check out the Spin writeup and album stream below.
