"Cheap Meat Suits' (Rarefied Heir) hiphop has the distinction (indeed, the virtue) of being very original.
It's hard to find a match for their type of music."
-CHARLES MUDEDE, The Stranger, Seattle, WA
"Cheap Meat Suits (Rarefied Heir) offers a magnificent record that quakes with ache, disappointment and mystery."
-LEAH SOTTILE, The Inlander, Spokane, WA
Rarefied Heir is the umbrella that covers a handful of hip-hop musicians from the Seattle rain.
Life in Podunk Spokane made them disillusioned intellectuals. Through their struggles, we find beauty, growth, and character. Our raps are intelligent, angsty, sensitive, nihilist, and absurd. Bipolar beats will punch you in the face before caressing your skin.
Each Rarefied Heir member has a solo project, several groups, and collaborates globally. Fans of Anticon, Def Jux, Stones Throw, Ninja Tune, Rhymesayers, Mush, Warp and Duck Down would like us.
The next Variables album (post-production) features artists Myka 9 (of Freestyle Fellowship, Project Blowed, Haiku D'Etat) and M Sayyid (of Antipop Consortium).
Rarefied Heir artists performed with Inspektah Deck (Wu-Tang), The Pharcyde, Myka 9 (Freestyle Fellowship), Del tha Funkee Homosapien, 2Mex, RA the Rugged Man, Akil (Jurassic 5), Hangar 18 (Def Jux), P.M. Dawn, Cryptic (Atoms Family), Typical Cats, Living Legends, Dulok Shaman, LoDeck, ShapeShifters, SpecsOne, Eric Beats, Bayliens, Labtekwon, Josh Martinez, Silent Lambs Project, Iame (Oldominion), Common Market, Animal Farm, Cancer Rising, and Lifesavas.
