Tree Talks Landing On MTV’s ‘Five Best Mixtapes of 2012 So Far’ List
Photo By Marc Moran
On Tuesday, highly influential hip-hop journalist, Andrew Nosnitsky b.k.a. Noz, penned a piece for MTV’s Hive called The Five Best Mixtapes of 2012 So Far. The list included big name, major label artists such as Rick Ross and Future, and blog stars like Gunplay. One name the masses were likely unfamiliar with was Chicago’s own, Tree, whose Sunday School project clocked in at number three. This placement was shocking to even Tree himself; but as most of us can agree, it is one of the best projects of the year. The review concluded:
While Chicago has produced more visible stars this year — viral video goon turned Kanye collaborator Chief Keef, in particular — it’s Tree who might stand as the city’s greatest rising talent. Sunday School is a quiet collection of spiritually charged, Scarface-esque reality raps set to his self-produced bed of finely chopped and curiously arranged soul samples.
On The Set: Young Giftz f/ Tree – Nino
Young Giftz and Tree’s “Nino” has been everywhere as of late, so it was only right that two link for the video. Check out some footage from the set courtesy of Bobby Rocwell above and a few flicks from the action below.
Look for the Heart Of The City Films-directed visual to impact soon.

The inventor of Soul Trap takes it to the Cabrini Green row houses for the “All” video. Davy snapped with the video, and there’s some supreme cameos if you look closely. Be sure to download Tree’s critically acclaimed mixtape, Sunday School, now.
Richelle L. Brown f/ Tree – Fire
ATL songstress Richelle L. Brown linked with the Soul Trap general Tree for her cover of “Fire.” Yeah, Tree’s verse is just that — fire.
