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.
