THEMPEOPLE – SMOKE BREAKS || DOPE INSPIRES DOPE

It’s always a treat when players meet – such was the case on a grey winter day when I had the opportunity to step into the creative spaces of THEMpeople. A collective of dope ass musicians based in Chicago, IL, these guys were churning out very eclectic ambient sounding hip-hop styles before they were able to truly cut into the fabric of the new Chicago uprising of talent. They remind me of rocking to Zero 7, Jazzyfatnastees and the like 

but with a new-age sensibility about the music. Having linked with artists like Nico Segal (of Kids These Days), Chance The Rapper and the SaveMoney crew, they’ve began to truly blossom into the THEMpeople presentation as it seemingly was intended…and Smoke Breaks may just be that coming of age. I challenge you to limit your listening experience of this 8-song EP to just one go round, it’s pretty impossible. Check out the Soundcloud stream and feel free to download here at your convenience. Partake!
