Doomtree

Doomtree is an alternative hip-hop project based out of Minneapolis. The collective features a number of rappers, vocalists and producers, including Cecil Otter, Dessa, Lazerbeak, Sims and probably the most well-known member P.O.S. Due to its members' diverse backgrounds and upbringings, Doomtree's music contains traces of rock, punk and soul in its sometimes odd, sometimes funny party raps. The group seems hardly concerned with stereotypical rap posturing, which will be a breath of fresh air for hip-hop fans looking for beats and rhymes without the excess frills. False Hopes, the collective's first studio album, was released in 2007.
