Artist Spolight: tREBLEFREE and DVS Jackson

My friends,
I know that it is difficult to wade through a sea of neverending wackness to find the good shit…ESPECIALLY in hip-hop…
But I will offer my assistance…
As we all know, its hard to get people’s attention long enough to listen to your music…and sometimes talented artists have to settle for just letting their work float in the universe and hoping that someone somewhere will hear it and connect.
tREBLEFREE is a hip-hop producer (not beatmaker) born and raised in my hometown of Detroit, MI where he still resides. What sets this man apart from his contemporaries is his musicality, attention to detail, his inventiveness, and subtle yet wicked sense of humor…
His songs are soulful and packed to the teeth with a funky sense of rhythm and emphasis on groove rather than just making whatever sonic dressing fit the drums. Rather than just the stoic “ba-boom-boom-bap” boring rhythms that other hip-hop producers give you, tREB’s music has actual movement rather than just accompaniment…
DVS Jackson is nowhere near your average emcee. A product of Chicago–years ago you could have found him buggin out in the house clubs just as soon as rippin flows in a cypher. DVS attacks you with vocal dynamics, wordplay, zany humor, intricate flows, and just straight up bizarre imagery that leaves your head spinning. After you’ve absorbed all of that, you realize that there was a solid concept hidden underneath it all. He is the aural equivalent of a Magic Eye image.
The unorthodox artistic approach of both men created an inevitable partnership.
Taking on the personas of the scathingly sarcastic Muppet critics Waldorf & Statler, tREB and DVS have decided on a unique presentation of their work together…
They will release 5 Waldorf & Statler EPs (they call it a “cinquilogy”), with one to be released each quarter. The 2nd EP has just dropped.
Get thee ass to their Bandcamp page and download BOTH existing Waldorf & Statler EPs…….FO DE FREE!

Listen to it (yes, the whole thang, if you want!) below:
Do not let this thang pass you by….Don’t let GOOD art go unnoticed…
Thank me at a moment in time that will occur in the future.
Peace,
Scorp.
A very good sample track for the album, I love the beat. Thanks for sharing the link.
