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. Focus, Oneself Salaam and Tree. Born and raised in the little but crazy city of Waco, Texas. 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 (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 their music. The oldest sibling Focus was more of an influence to his younger siblings Oneself Salaam and Tree. Focus first group "Vision In Perspective" was a local hit but not much of a buzz on the radio. A split caused by creative differences, Focus looked to his brother Oneself to start the duo "Verbal Seed" in 1993. During the 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. During the time Tree was working with new crew member and friend Myone. The project was never finished due to creative differences and lack of finances. In 2001 Verbal Seed started working on their debut album "Something from Nothin". The Album was hot in the Central Texas area and sold a large amount of copies. With the split of Myone and Tree, "Verbal Seed" decided to add their younger brother to the group. Myone joined forces with "Symbolyc Elements" and formed the group "Strange Fruit Project". Fast forward to 2005, "Verbal Seed" is working on their sophmore album Afronauts, featuring Strange Fruit Project, Illmind, Bavu Blakes, K-Otix, Kay and D-Rose(of Foundation), Chip Fu, Deloach, Dow Jones, Mony Mone, Thesis and more.
