Just as its title is, This Is The Dope as a group & as a project – is a declaration. The debut EP from a new super-group made up three leading talents from the criminally overlooked music scene of St. Louis, Missouri proves quality art will not go unnoticed for long, even if they needs to fast forward 1,000 years to gain recognition. Group members Black Spade, Teresajenee & Indiana Rome initially came together to make an concept beat tape, with each of the three collaborating & co-producing throughout. Well, the outcome was so strong that none of them could resist getting on their own tracks – Teresa as a singer, Rome as an emcee, and Spade as both. So what started as an instrumental “space trap odyssey through afro-futurism,” has now turned into a full-fledged new EP from three mega-talents who take to outer space to spread their respective wings & put out on for their city on an intergalactic level.
