MH-237 iD And Sleeper - Displacement  iD and Sleeper, two of the most respected artists in the rapidly expanding Lawrence, Kansas music scene, have delivered to Mush their debut album, Displacement. Spread over fifteen tracks, the duo showcase their musical strengths. Sleeper retains a gritty hip-hop edge reminiscent of the early years of sampling: lo-fi sounds are layered with intricate drum programming to create a substantial base to build on. iD proves to be a perfect fit for this type of production; his lyrics and style are a blend of contemporary independent hip-hop's introverted artistic sensibilities and the ease-of-flow and confidence of the genre's pioneering MCs. Moody without being heavy, intelligent without being elitist, Displacement is sure to garner iD and Sleeper accolades from hip-hop and electronic fans of all stripes. |

| Sleeper provides the lo-fi sounds of hip-hop inspired beats mixed with the stripped down elements of experimental rock music. The soundscape is a perfect compliment to the storytelling and rhyme style that the emcee of this duo provides. Incorporating the indie-emcee sound into his music by opening his inner confessions through introspective wordplay, the rainy afternoon vibe is packed with detailed lyrics that offer plenty to pay attention to. Displacement is best heard from start to finish, where songs like "Catcher," "Stranger," and "Nothing...New" have a chance to standout and accentuate the entire collective. - Impact Press |
