For all my uninformed trawlers out there not from Minnesnowta, the Twin Cities is so thick with rap royalty that I have no reservations calling it the center of Midwest Hip Hop (Fugg Kanye). You cain't throw a medium-sized stone on the southside of Minneapolis without hitting a d**e MC. In that vein, the Background Noise Crew is just a group of six young men that just wants to make d**e rrrap. Putting it work for a minute, their simmering (on the low-low) activities have recently boiled over into plenty of creative product for a listening public eager for something hype.-Jordan Selbo
