Indescribable is the only word that can describe the sound of future super group “The Love Meds.†This multitalented duo is the antidote for an industry in dire need of exactly what the two Baltimore natives possess. Currently wrapping up a mix tape entitled “A Tribe Called Fresh,†the two are optimistic that it will guide listeners into a realm of what their debut album “Love Medicine†consists of. “The Meds†goal is to present personal experiences to the public using a blend of Hip-Hop, R&B, Neo Soul, and Rock & Roll.Consisting of Shawn “Supe†Simpson (Artist/Writer) and Rashad “Nummy†Dickens (Artist/Producer), the two musicians share a host of similarities which allows them to connect with listeners. Their relationship originated in high school when a mutual friend suggested that they collaborate. Not much came from the suggestion initially, until having a class together made them realize that they not only shared an interest in music but other facets of life as well. The two began to work on music together with “Nummy†as the producer and “Supe†as the rap artist.As time moved forward and their music catalog began to grow, “Nummy†became re-interested in the field that he left behind which was wanting to become an actual artist. “I really wasn’t focused on being an artist anymore until I started hearing Supe kill the beats I was making. I guess You can say he inspired me to get back behind a mic.†states the 23-year old. He and “Supe†began experimenting with new sounds and within a 2 to 3 month period developed a host of original songs with both of them contributing vocally. They decided to release a few songs via MySpace to gain feedback and the responses were all positive, thus solidifying what was merely an idea. “We didn’t think that our little experiment would grow legs but I’m not mad that it did.†jokes “Supe†(21).Aside from buzzing in the Baltimore music circuit, “The Meds†have tried their hand in song writing. They have recently created a production/writing team called “The Cure†that consists of them and another producer and writer. The only difficulty that the group has run into during their journey is marketing themselves. Due to the versatility in the duo’s music, it is hard for them to be placed in a single genre. Nevertheless, “The Love Meds†remain hopeful that listeners will identify with each song on their album.Combining their individual ability to create music into a unified front has paid off tremendously for the two young men. It is safe to say that “The Love Meds†have the ability to become and remain a staple in the music industry for years to come.The Birth Of The Meds:
