Freebass 808’s story goes a little something like this, “Once upon a time in a place called Chapel lived a little de la Sueda and a little de la Apple, one was pushin beats and one was pushin rhymes and they got together to cook voodoo one taboo time”. Once you get passed the occult verbiage heard all throughout Freebass 808’s MoonBass “mixfilm” EP, what you have is a Bronx rhyme peddler, Suede Heron (who also goes by Geechie Suede when partnered up with Sonny Cheeba in the cryptic-slanged, Cooley Hyberbolic duo, Camp Lo) and a Chapel Hill beat feign, Apple Crack (Apple Juice Kid). Together, their drum binges and vocab addictions produce material in glowingly praise of space ponies, android garments, and margaritas at the Cosmic Cantina. (no. not the one one Franklin St. either). Triangle hip hoppers, take notes. This is what happens when you innovate.
