Indie Record To Peep: The SolIllaquists Of Sound - As If We Existed

This is the debut LP from the Orlando based group SolIllaquists Of Sound. To sort of sum up their style, I would say they're eclectic and that they utilize a "jack" format. All of you that are familiar with radio termanology know that "jack" refers to, well, nothing. Meaning that they don't have a format and they draw their influences from many different genres of music. From Soul to Jazz and Rock, the group comprised of members Swamburger, Tonya Combs, Alexandra and DiVinci have coined an acronym to describe their music in FAHEEM, which stands for "Free Astral Hip Hop Extraterrestrially Energized Message". LOL, now before you go nuts and decide that they're your average, hipster rap idiots, just chill out and listen to what I gotta say. I at first was a bit hesitant about these guys too, but after I heard DiVinci's production I eased up a bit. I also saw that there was two females in the group...not always a great sign...but after listening them two femcees straight proved their worth as artist's. Look, if you like good indie shit with thoughtful rhymes and unique production then grab this, if not just keep it movin'. It's a lil' artsy in spots, but like I said, solid production carry's this joint in it's more off pace moments. Be sure to bump "Choices", "Our 2 Cents" and the title track "As If We Existed".
