HipHopDX Exclusive Premiere: Chicago has taken its rightful spot on the map as one of the country’s most prestigious melting pots of people and music. And though the trap stars and Chance the Rappers of the city seem to be standing in the spotlight, the rap scene in the Windy City is much more than meets the charts.
MC Tree and producer IBCLASSIC are just two of the outspoken voices in Chicago Hip Hop that are growing louder each day. Since 2015, the two found a fusion with their sound and immediately went to work. I.B.’s cool and collected approach to production paired with Tree’s quirky and smooth rhyming seemed to make the perfect pair. With a history and style of their own, this fusion of Midwest Hip Hop and individual originality sets the stage for an old-school/new wave sound in their new collaborative project, IBTREE.
In the freshest single “All Dat,” Tree and IB embark through the moral fortitude of holding lookout at the trap. IBCLASSIC’s smooth production paired with Tree’s melodic flow provide the perfect setting for a tune that entails the trap, the worth of a woman, loving the hood and your mother, and everything else in between.
