Doomtree is a rap collective out of Minneapolis. Commonly associated with the general Rhymesayers crew, the 11 man/woman group (led by defacto leader P.O.S) brings a punk influenced brand of hip-hop to the forefront of the movement. Although like most collectives (ahem…Wu-Tang) the live performances of all members on the same stage are quite rare, it makes listening to the album that much more sweet. “Flex” opens up the “False Hopes” album and sets a tone that never quits, hard, heavy, introspective, self-degrading, but completely honest and true.
