Mad Child of Swollen Members.
these guys are the best thing i have ever heard. i remember the first time i heard them and this was when i was listening to rock and punk. (yeah i had a punk phase.)
i heard them and was instantly turned onto hip hop...not rap. i went out and bought all their cd's and digital merch i could find on them...but ..sadlyt it was all stolen..
but these dudes are real lyrical which is what hip hop is really all about. though i will say, i followed them since they were just getting big in Canada..and then Moka Only joined the group...i stopped following them because i felt they became whack after Moka Only. but from what i hear Mad Child (my favorite member of Swollen) is releasing a Solo Album in 2008! yesss!
just a couple of my favorite tracks are
"kiling spree" which is the sickest by far
"ventilate" in this one they're going off on each other!
"lady venom" such a sick and different beat
"breathe" with nelly furtado!
"bring it home" with whack ass Moka Only
and a bunch of other ones...but those are a few for you to get started on some research!
i wont type out all of their info here..so read their wikipedia page.
