The hustle. The flow. The discovery of this amazing music. Its hip hop, its jazz, its rock, its roots music, its live. Treologic has proven over the years that it knows how to entertain a crowd as well as deliver a great recording, year after year.
Treo started from a jazz organ trio (organ, guitar, drums) out of the Depaul School of music tradition. After some personel changes, an MC was added, then a DJ, horns singers, percussion - all in trying to find the musical voice that is Treologic. Now the group has been scaled down to a 5 piece progressive hip hop unit consisting of drums, bass, keyboards, turntables, and an MC. The future is in the sound and staying true to the roots of Chicago hip hop, jazz, gospel, neo-soul and rock.
The message of the music has always been concious with a street sensiblity. Hard beats with jazzy flavor, chops with simplicity, always keeping a lyrical flow that is remiscent of Jay-Z, Naz, or Black Thought. Treologic has often been compared to The Roots, J5, Tribe Called Quest, and Floetry. But make not mistake: the sound is original, cutting edge, and catchy.
Treologic has found great success over the years performing all over the country including tours to New York Ctiy and the East Coast, Colorado, Los Angeles and the West Coast, and of course, a solid following in the Midwest. In 2005, Treologic won the Discmakers Independant Music World Series-Midwest! Treo has performed with the legends like Talib Kweli, The Beatnuts, The Roots, Heiruspecs, Liquid Soul, and the Youngblood Brass Band.
We have played great festivals including Wakarusa, The Taste of Chicago, Summercamp, FUNK Fest, and numberousl Music Industry Conferences. In all, Treo has performed on average 70-80 shows a year for the last 5 years - thats over 400 shows!
Discography is impressive as well: Whats the Question in 2003, MixTape in 2004, Thank You Lenny in 2005, Colabo, Treologic's newest offering, is already available for download on ITunes and Rhapsody, and receiving great reviews from press and radio.
Treologic is once again on the rise - constantly recording and representing the great music in Chciago and the great culture of hip hop. We are commited to providing great quality music to the people for the peoples sake. Its the hustle and the flow and we are gonna get ours.
