Doomtree Collective Finally Unites For First All-Inclusive Release

Nine Producers And Rappers Come Together For Collaborative Album

The Doomtree Collective, who URB Magazine named "The hottest hip-hop crew in Minneapolis," will release their highly anticipated album, DOOMTREE on July 29th. This will be the first album to feature tracks produced and performed by the entire nine member collective.

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. They explain, "Doomtree is a record label. Doomtree is a rap crew. Doomtree is a family." They describe their crew love as "obvious and infectious" and this undoubtedly has an effect on audiences during live shows. This intense connection between the group’s members has lent significantly to their achievements in both past and current ventures, as they are completely committed to each others’ success. Over the past five years, Doomtree has gained momentum as one of the best hip-hop collectives in the Midwest. This can be attributed to the crew’s innovative recordings and engaging live shows, which earned them the title of "Best Concert of the Past 12 Months" (City Pages). This summer, the crew will be touring with Flobot showing off their aforementioned performance prowess.

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. With an already outstanding catalog including fans of punk and indie rock, and rap purists, this release is sure to rally an even bigger audience with the call for independent thought. As Doomtree says, "The anthems are victorious, the storysongs are full of dream and intrigue, and the bangers reset pacemakers."
