In a city known for Tupac’s death, Mike Tyson fights and slots galore, one would think that this is all Sin City has to offer. Now you can add hip-hop culture to the list of things available to tourists traveling the burning sands of Las Vegas NV with The Chapter’s debut album Us vs Them.
The Chapter, comprised of producer 3sixty and emcee Verbal E, are getting prepared to introduce the world to Vegas’ own brand of hip-hop. Co-signed by Roots drummer extraordinaire ?uestlove, who first discovered the group while putting together Okayplayer’s debut compilation True Notes Vol.1. The Chapter became one of just two then unsigned groups selected to be included on the LP from the over 5,000 tracks that were submitted.
?uestlove stated “basically, I let the staff make their selection, but I wanted this one (The Chapter’s “For The Wreckord”) in particular to make the album.” ?uest is so impressed with The Chapter, he even leads off The Chapter’s debut, Us Vs. Them, with some very glowing commentary on the group and their very bright future.The Chapter deliver an incredible organic experience that will surely redefine the panorama of hip-hop in Las Vegas.
Be on the lookout for Us Vs Them May 24th 2005.
