The Problemaddicts are a 5-man squad of emcees assembled by and including Executive Producer Tone, Vorheez (formerly of Lords of tha Fly), Force (also of The Alchemystics), Black Buddha (multiple freestyle tournament winner and former WSKB DJ), and 1ne Man sound (also of Lyke Minds).
After crossing paths in local venues across western MA for years, these solo artists finally combined their diverse and unique styles. The Problemaddicts have played over 150 shows as a group since releasing their debut album, "The First Step" in September 2007. This 16 track LP, primarily produced by Tone and DJ Theory, features underground giants Planet Asia and Masta' Ace and received international recognition. Upon its ’09 re-release it ranked in CMJ’s top 40 for 3 weeks.
In the summer of 2008 the group released their second album, “The Dark Side Of Oz”, a 12 track mash up remix of Pink Floyd’s “The Dark Side Of The Moon” and soundtrack from “The Wizard Of Oz”. It entered the charts as the 3 add (37th overall) in mid December on CMJ, and rose 23 slots to 14 in its second week on the charts. The album peaked at 10, and stayed in the Top 40 for 10 weeks.
The Problemaddicts are currently hard at work in the studio on a mixtape prequel to their untitled 3rd full length album. Look for the mixtape during the summer of '09, followed by the album that fall.
The Problemaddicts have toured with artists such as Tash (of the Alkaholiks), Akil the MC (of Jurassic 5) and Planet Asia. They have also shared stages with acts like Dead Prez, The Beatnuts, Little Brother, KRS-1, Living Legends, Mos Def, Soulive, De La Soul, Akrobatik & Mr. Lif, The Clipse, Addison Groove Project, J-Live, Ghostface Killah, Blackalicious, Rahzel, GZA, MOP, Pharaoh Monch, Sizzla, Brother Ali, Sean Price, Special Teamz. The list goes on...
The Problemaddicts won "Best Hip Hop” 07 & ‘08 in The Valley Advocate's reader's poll, as well as the 1 Hip Hop Song (August, ‘07) and 1 Alternative Hip Hop Song (February, ’08) on OurStage.com. They recently were featured on AOL radio, after winning the 65th HoodHype.com episode’s viewer vote. The act was one of Urb.com’s “Next 1000”.
