NOTHING IS SOMETHING

Since the acclaimed mixtapes Sunday School and Sunday School II came out in 2012 and 2013 respectively and the EP Goat that came out in 2018, Tremaine Johnson, better known as Tree hasn’t released much music to long waiting fans.

His unique style and sound, Soul Trap, which combines Tree’s own take on soul music with modern day hip hop, is back in full force with the new release of Nothing is Something in collaboration with fellow Chicago native Vic Spencer.

The album consists of 10 songs, which runs just under half an hour but all the elements of the distinctive growl from Tree is there, reminiscent of the wisdom and flairs of soul he delivered in his Sunday School mixtapes. It’s a tough and gritty mood that Tree creates, with positive old-school twists, an underlying head-bumping bassline and clever lyrical bars littered with a few Gospel influences.

The album is unique and refreshing, a good change to the monotonous and over-flashy rap in today’s day and age.

Nothing Is Something

it’s been a minute since we heard from MC TREE. Back in 2013, on the heels of his vaunted Sunday School project, the purveyor os SoulTrap played Pitchfork, toured Europe and collaborated with brands like Scion and artists like BadBadNotGood & Ghostface Killah. Then, he seemingly walked away. While Tree has been in the city’s periphery, never straying too far from the scene, his output dipped, creating a demand that only this week got satisfied. Teaming up with none other than Vic Spencer, the pair dropped their collaborative album, Nothing Is Something yesterday, and the hip-hop heads locally couldn’t be happier.

TREE has been vocal on social media as of late, pushing towards an inevitable return and if this project is any indication of the kind of work we’ll be getting from him in the near future than count us here for it. Dive in below, catch the whole project streaming on Mild Sauce Radio and keep it locked for more on TREE soon.

Ya Cold

On Nothing IS Something, the two come together, once more, to deliver an album packed with some of their best bars to date. Pay special attention to “Lucifer Callin” and “Cognac and Beer”. 

Their latest work displays the pair’s versatility and lyrical depth. Over the album, Tree and Vic provide ten consecutive bar-heavy, introspective, and exactic hip hop tracks. Sometimes playful, sometimes hard-hitting and precise, the duo master each unique vibe. Throughout,  though the album’s sound is very current, there's more than a note of reminiscent hip hip for Chicago rap purists.
