Surreal & The Sound Providers

By Baysic
If you haven't heard the "True Indeed" album or you've never heard of the Sound Providers, here's some info I typed..

The production duo, Sound Providers, (Jay Skills and Soulo, from San Diego) released their critically acclaimed album "True Indeed" last November. Except this time they released it with Florida MC Surreal. The Sound Providers have been dropping dope records with artists such as Asheru and Little Brother. Their production is "jazzy-hiphop" such as De La Soul & A Tribe Called Quest. (So if you like those 2 groups, definetly check this out)
"Their "backto- basics" format of flavorful beats, scratched choruses, and hype rhymes, garner the Sound Providers a/k/a SP’s an enthusiastic following which continue to grow with each release."

And the MC Surreal...
This is my first time hearing him rap and I was very impressed. His smooth flow and crisp rhymes are perfect for the Sound Providers beats. For some reason, this album reminds me of a Gangstarr album... sort of jazzylike inspired production with nice lyrics that can switch from "braggadocios battle emcee to soulful and introspective artist with an innate flow"

    I agree, this is a dope album. I've had it for months now and it doesn't get stale. Actually, I prefer the SP sound to ATCQ and the like, cos their beats go forward, they make you smile and bob your head. With a lot of Tribe stuff, I felt like it was slowing me down.
    And I read somewhere that Surreal did these verses off the cuff. He just got into the studio and dropped em like that. No writtens.

Something to say?
