About Me

The origin of the "Special Herbs" Crew is not a simple one, yet not too complex.....or is it??? Take two friends who went to high school together in the mid 90's, but did not become friends until years after both of their graduations. As a matter of fact they did not even know who the other one was while attending school at the time. Now, take a young girl who graduated high school in 2003; she went straight to college, only to find herself right back at home the next year. Who knew that her coming back home would lead to her meeting one of those two friends, and that meeting him would lead to the development of a romantic, as well as musical, relationship. Somehow the stars aligned and the three individuals all found each other through Hip Hop music and a couple of "special herbs" to help take the edge off. The soundtrack to their sessions were mostly the "underground" sounds of J Dilla, De La Soul, The Roots, Jedi Mind Tricks -to name a few.....and of course MF DOOM!
Now over the course of time, the two friends had both become accomplished MC's, and had even battled each other on occassion. The young girl had blossomed into a beautiful songstress and poet/MC. So one day while listening to "Metal Fingers presents Special Herbs Vol 7 + 8", this trio decided to put their talents together to make some good old fashioned "pure" Hip Hop music. The sounds of "Metal Fingers presents Special Herbs" continued to be the trio's source and preferred choice of instrumentation to build on. In the future, the group will continue to explore and create new sounds to bring to Hip Hop. For now, the mission is simple......."To spread a little bit of Special Herbs on the world!!!!!"
