Giving Tree

SOLIDARITY IS ONLY AS SOLID AS THE COMMUNITY

About Me

Hailing from Oakland CA, Seneca and DJ Saurus united to form Giving Tree out of their mutual respect for making and putting out quality hip hop. While performing at various venues around the West Coast, they are currently working on their freshmen release due out early 2007. Influenced by the timeless sound of hip hop they both grew up listening to, Giving Tree aims to capture that same classic early to mid ninties feel while advancing their methods to take their listeners on a introspective journey through their own experiences.Peep track 5 on Universatile Music's summer label sampler to hear Giving Tree's exclusive new song called Apples:press play to start UM player .. width="425" height="350" ..
