  • Bio

    As-Salaamu Alaikum! WELCOME! The "Verbal" is lyrical and the "Seed" is life, so now we have "lyrical life". VERBAL SEED! This Crew consist of three blood brothers (same mother & father). Focus, Oneself Salaam and Tree. Born and raised in the city of Waco, Texas with two members residing in Dallas, TX. Raised on 60's and 70's soul music, Verbal Seed managed to find hip-hop in the early 80's. While listening to some of the illest mc's growing up( for example: Rakim, KRS-One, Public Enemy, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G. Rap, Slick Rick, Doug E. Fresh, N.W.A, Gangstarr, Pete Rock & CL, Geto Boyz, UGK, Big Mike, Melle Mel, Cold Crush, D.O.C., Ice Cube, Native Tongues, De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Jungle Brothers, Queen Latifah, OutKast, Goodie M.O.B., Organized Noize, Roots, Common, Pharoah Monch (Organize Konfusion), Reflection Eternal, Slum Village, Rass Kass, D.I.T.C., Biggie, Tupac, Nas and Jay-Z) Verbal Seed formed their own image through this music. The oldest sibling Focus was more of an influence to his younger brothers Oneself Salaam and Tree. Focus' first group "Vision In Perspective" was a local hit but not much of a buzz outside their community. A split caused by creative differences, Focus looked to his brother Oneself to start the duo "Verbal Seed" in 1993. During this time Oneself invested in music equipment and crafted his sound on the EMU SP1200. In 1997, through producing and going to school for music , Oneself met other MCs and musicians Butta Finga, Mony Mone, Symbolyc Elements (Myth and S1 from Strange Fruit Project). Focus, Oneself and these artist formed the super group "Third Eye Militia". In 1999 the group's debut album "Buried Alive" sold a large amount of copies in an area where hip-hop is irrelevant in the Master P. era. With the group's success, members decided to work on individual projects. In 2001 Verbal Seed started working on their debut album "Something from Nothin". The Album was successful in the Central Texas area and establised Verbal Seed as a force to be reckoned with. With the success of "Something From Nothing" they decided to add their younger brother Tree to the group. Fast forward to 2006, "Verbal Seed" is done with their sophmore album "Afronauts" (which dropped in Japan on Nov. 16, 2005 on Handcuts/Universal) and was leased in the U.S. early 2006 on Black Son Records. The album features Strange Fruit Project, Illmind, Bavu Blakes, K-Otix, Kay and D-Rose(of Foundation), Chip Fu, Deloach, Dow Jones, Apoc Beatz, and Thesis. This album has received 4 Questos (aka fros) from okayplayer.com's review section. Available now at cdbaby.com/verbalseed. GET YOUR COPY NOW!! LOOK OUT FOR THE AEONZ CREW ALBUM COMING SOON!!!

    THEY TOOK SO MUCH FROM US
    WHEN THE TIME CAME
    WHEN THE HURRICANE CAME
    IT WASHED AWAY THE SINS
    IT WASHED AWAY THE PAIN
    THERE WAS NO HOPE
    NO SALVATION
    NO WAY OUT
    THEY TRAPPED US IN THE CITY AND
    WOULDN'T LET US OUT
    TO SEE MY PEOPLE FLOATING AWAY
    THEY WERE WASHED AWAY
    SO MANY ARE LOST STILL
    TO THIS DAY
    IT COULD TAKE A LIFETIME
    BUT IT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
    ONLY HOPING THIS TRAGEDY WAS NOT IN VAIN
    RELIEF CAME TOO LATE
    AFTER THE HURRICANE
    AFTER THE PAIN
    AFTER THE STARVING
    AFTER THE RAIN
    AFTER THE DEVASTATION
    AFTER THE BLAME
    I LOST LOVED ONES
    YOU LOST LOVED ONES
    OUR LOVED ONES LOST LOVED ONES
    ALL THE FEMA AND RED CROSS
    CAN'T BRING THEM BACK
    BRING MY PEOPLE BACK
    BRING THEIR LIVES BACK
    THEIR PLAN WAS TO TEAR DOWN THE PROJECTS
    AND DO AWAY WITH THE BLACKS
    THEIR PLAN WAS TO SEND US AWAY
    SO WE WOULD NEVER COME BACK
    WE WERE LOST
    MISPLACED
    OUR PAST ERASED
    OUR MEMORIES ERASED
    OUR HOPES AND DREAMS WERE WASHED AWAY
    IN STREAMS OF BLOOD INFESTED
    DISEASE INFESTED WATER
    BUT WE REFUSE TO GO QUIETLY INTO THE WIND
    OR LOST WITHIN THE RIVER
    WE RAISED OUR VOICES
    SCREAMS OF HELP US
    RUNG ACROSS THE NATION
    INDENTED IN HISTORY
    WE WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN
    THEY WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN
    IT TOOK THE NATIONS EYES WATCHING
    TO SAVE US
    AND THROUGH ALL THE FRUSTRATION
    WE NEVER GAVE UP
    WE STAYED STRONG
    WE GOT BY
    WE SURVIVED
    BUT TO THIS DAY A PIECE OF ME DIES INSIDE
    FOR THOSE WHO DIED
    AND THOSE WHO SHED EVERLASTING TEARS
    FOR YEARS OF UNEQUAL OPPORTUNITIES
    AND SOCIAL INJUSTICE
    THERE WAS NO JUSTICE
    YOU CAN NOT JUSTIFY
    THE PRESIDENT
