With influences like Dr. Dre, Miles Davis, and Arrested Development you know that Treologic is here to redefine cool, again. This hip-hop group out of Chicago, whose visits to Grinnell have become a regular occurrence, mixes its rhymes with backbeats inspired by jazz, gospel and world music, as well as other rappers.
Treologic is comprised of Lance Loiselle, Mcbilla Camp, Justin Boyd, DJ Savage, Eric Koppa, Jordan Lopez and Anthony Massaro, whose mission is to blend genres of music while sending out positive lyrics to break down the stereotypes associated with the hip-hop culture. The winning combo typically leaves the audience with a taste of ingenuity and a euphoric grin.
The show was to be opened by The Coup and Mr. Lif, but their tour was cancelled after their tour bus was in an accident on Monday. Some passengers were injured but none were killed. Filling in for them will be another hip-hop group, the Doomtree Collective. Their website announcing their visit to Grinnell claims that “Kids get down in the middle of Iowa, man.” With an endorsement like that, let’s hope for a good showing at Gardner tonight. We wouldn’t want to let them down.
