iD: iD is one of the Midwest's best new hip-hop talents. His striking stage presence and rare rhyme style make him a difficult emcee to pigeonhole. With a confident delvery and lyrics that strike a balance between abstract wordplay and the introspective, confessional style of many of today's best known indie emcees, iD is instantly recognizable. After accumulating a solid reputation with producer Nezbeats as the Archetype, he joined forces with producer Sleeper for a demo titled Rain Closet that brought him to the attention of Mush Records. His combination of well-thought out lyrics and viceral delivery mark him as one of the more promising emcees in the underground.

Sleeper : Sleeper is a auteur of claustrophobic, sample-based hip-hop production. His work, both as an accomplished musician, and as a respected tattoo and visual artist balances a breadth of spirit with worldly, emotional depth. Finding influence and community in the worlds of classic hip-hop and artistic, experimental rock, Sleeper fills his tracks with sound, leaving an MC with just enough room to create or with the luxury of saying more by saying less. His music is lo-fi with purpose: grainy sounds are used to lend atmosphere to larger, modern electronic sound collages, grimy drums sound out familiar hip-hop patterns beneath thick layers of sound. Sleeper is a craftsman in the truest sense of the word.
