Tree City is an Ann Arbor, Michigan based hip hop group that started off as 8 emcees and one DJ (G.P, Dante Peaks, BMC, Man In Charge., Clavius Crates AKA Realeyez, DJ Cataclysmic, AnomaLEE, and Verseatyle), formed in 2005. Between 2006 and mid 2009, the group was shortened down to 5 members (G.P., Man In Charge, DJ Cataclysmic, Clavius Crates, and Cheeks). During this period, the group released their debut E.P., entitled "The TreE.P." in June 2007 and worked to make a name for themselves in the local hip-hop scene, touring the state in such notable cities as Jackson, Kalamazoo, Novi and Traverse City.
In 2008, the group was further strengthened with the addition of Cheeks, a gifted lyricist also hailing from Ann Arbor. They have recently released "Black Trees," a mixtape now available for free download. Using the productions composed by Detroit producer extraordinaire, Black Milk (from his free "Purple Tape" download), "Black Trees" aims to be a showcase of Tree City's progression since "The TreE.P."
Currently the group released "Thus Far" on June 12, 2010. A collection of tracks recorded over the span of nearly 4 years, "Thus Far" aims to be just that- a sweeping representation of Tree City's artistic growth over time.
"Thus Far" includes collaborations with talented local producers including 14KT (AML), Doc Illingsworth (Detroit CYDI), Ashod, and Hir-O Beats as well as international talents including Blaze One (Canada) and Oznoh (Spain).
Guest features on "Thus Far" include Branch Out Collective members L05, Ant the Champ, and Soto. Female MC/songstress Nickie P makes an appearance, as does Tree City veteran member Dante Peaks.
