TWIN CITIES, MN., --Stereotype is set to click.

Like Prince and a kingdom of rockers, B-boys, funkers, and punks, Stereotype is a true product of flyover land, where West Coast and East Coast music trends, scattering soundbytes and interracial shockwaves, often blend to create a distinctive style and badass character. "The Click," as fans from the Twin Cities to Mexico’s spring break parties fondly know them, are emerging as one of Minnesota’s major rap exports. It’s long overdue.Following its critically acclaimed debut record in 2000 Underground Embargo, The disc earned them a 2000 Minnesota Music Awards nomination for Best Rap Album and local college radio airtime.
