Synopsis

Product Description
Archetype (I.D. and Nezbeat) started recording in 1997 on broken equipment in a dirty basement in Lawrence, Kansas. Through a lot of hard work and dedication, Archetype began to receive recognition as they've performed live with Hip Hop greats and favorites such as KRS-One, Pharcyde, Mobb Deep, Ugly Duckling, Murs, Brother Ali, and even hit the road themselves for a nationwide tour with Mac Lethal and approach playing intimate shows to very responsive crowds. Archetype's appeal ranges past just Hip Hop fans as they've shared the stage with indie-rock stars such as The Appleseed Cast and Minus Story. MC I.D. has been featured in XLR8R and Scratch Magazine. His 2005 Mush Record's Debut "Displacement" (with producer Sleeper) reached number 8 on the CMJ Charts. Producer/ MC Nezbeat has done production for Murs and Mac Lethal ("Women Of Scribble Jam") and Approach ("Ultra-Proteus") and is featured on many of Mac Lethal's debut coming soon on Rhymesayers Entertainment. The duo's self-released debut "Freehand Formula" was received with critical acclaim and became a cornerstone of the burgeoning Kansas City/Lawrence Hip Hop scene. The release of Archetype s sophomore LP, "Bleed For Them" on Dekagon Records signifies the next chapter in the group's development; playing on an ever-widening range of influence and creativity to produce unique and interesting music reminiscent of Hip Hop's golden era, yet suggestive of a wide open future.
 

CD Reviews

DOPE REAL HIP HOP!!! Amazing production!!
Daniel Beaulieu | 10/05/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Remember when you could let an album play beginning to end? This album will bring you back to those days when an album was cohesive, not just a few singles plus a lot of filler tracks and dumb skits. The production is skillfully handled by Nezbeat. (Remember when COMPLETE album's were produced by the same producer, Main Source's "Breaking Atoms", Pete Rock & CL Smooth's "Mecca and The Soul Brother", Black Moon's "Enta Da Stage"...) Well everything on this album sounds cohesive and fluent, but never repetitive or redundant. I.D. is dope rapper as well. He does a particularly good job writing honest, thought-provoking lyrics and unlike many rappers nowadays, it appears he can write hooks as well. I would strongly recommend this album and think it's one of the best hip hop albums of the year. Highlights include "Think of Me", "Utopia", "Keep It Comin" and "Freakin Out" amongst others."
