Eyedea And Abilities

If you are one of my friends there is no question that you have heard of the Rapper/DJ duo known as Eyedea And Abilities. If you have not yet been enlightened, allow me to do so! These cats hail from the Minneapolis/St. Paul area that already has as a well-established underground hip-hop scene. But to say the least these guys have made the Twins Cites blow up in the last few years. This is due to how well each artist is known separately on the national stage. Eyedea is known for his extraordinary freestyle rapping skills that have labeled him Scribble Jam Champ (1999) and Blaze Battle Champ (2000). While his DJ counterpart Abilities has shown us what he can do with his hands by wining both the 1999 and 2001 DMC Regional DJ championships. It was a no brainier that these two would be dope group if paired together. With two studio releases (Both of them ill) their are no signs of letting up. Eyedea and Abilities both on their albums and in live performances bring an irresistible conversation between a Rapper and his DJ. Most DJ's are used as a pawn so the rapper can be the main focus but not in this case. Both of these peeps are as large of a part as the other. According to wikipedia they are now producing a new album set to drop sometime in 2009. Until then if you like Midwest underground hip hop then these guys may be right up your ally.
