http://soundcloud.com/th3rdzXperience, Candidt, JFK.The lineup: Candidt, JFK aka Ninjaface, Xperience. Three of the most animated MCs from [long-running Northwest hip-hop collective] Oldominion form TH3RDZ–a fact that you’re probably already familiar with, but did you happen to notice that these three gentlemen . . . rapped? Precisely.From the name on down, TH3RDZ is an honest, face-value rap group, and as established MCs, they have the connections and presence of mind to corral high-grade production (this time Grammy-nominated producer Kuddie Fresh supplies the beat), and the skill to top that production with consistently proficient verses–and sometimes it’s that simple. They’re about the show, not the tell, and go as far as to poke fun at the try-hard cesspool of tellers with a chorus that ends with the sarcastically meaningless qualifier “Rap rap” (because the people need to know what that “speaking in rhyme” thing is y’all are doing all the time!). So take it easy out there!Today’s Rap Recommendation is to enjoy some “Rap Rap”:
