Finally one of my favorite emerging artists, Atlanta’s own: Spree Wilson, gives me an excuse to post some of his music. You know, since I try to keep with the “All Chicago” theme, I rarely take it upon myself to post music from other regions. Well, Spree recently teamed up with his mentor (see, it’s not just a Kanye thing!), No ID, to cook up “Word”.
So as the story goes, this track was supposed to go to Lupe Fiasco, but Dion (errr…No ID) gave it to Spree instead. What a guy! But anyway, Spree is super official and is bringing a completely different sound to the table. He plays live instruments at his shows and cites everyone from the Beatles to the Beach Boys to Andre 3000 as influences. If you’re looking to learn more about the homie Spree – check out what Atlanta’s Creative Loafing had to say about him. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. I’m just sayin…
