Biography

San Francisco, CA – Om Records’ Om: Hip-Hop imprint, in conjunction with Spilt Milk, announces the signing of critically acclaimed hip-hop group Strange Fruit Project! The group’s 3rd full length album ‘The Healing’ will be in stores July 25th, with the first single being ‘Soul Clap’ produced by Jake One with a B side classic from 9th Wonder.

“Most of my iPod is just a random 9000 song trip and occasionally I have to walk up to it/pull it out of pocket and see who it this. The artist I did that the most to was Strange Fruit Project (From Divine/Soul Travelin')”
Ahmir  ?uestLove Thompson of The Roots

Myone, Myth and Symbolyc One (S1) are Strange Fruit Project. Three emcees who continue to set trends as not your typical southern hip-hop group, all hail from Waco, Texas.

Each member of Strange Fruit Project sings, raps and is influenced by the constant journey of everyday life. The group has made a huge impact in a short period of time. Through innovative production and creative lyrics their music separates them from many independent artists. Strange’s 2004 release, Soul Travelin’, was an underground beat banging collector’s item which included hip-hop and soul at the root of its origin. Highlights from Soul Travelin’ included the singles ‘Luv Is’, ‘Eternally Yours’ and ‘All The Way’. The single ‘All The Way’ was nominated by BBC Radio for 2004 Song of the Year. During 2005, Strange Fruit released the single, Milk’em, with world famous emcee Ghostface Killah,. This single topped the CMJ college radio charts in July and August of 2005. S1 continued to receive praise in 2005 and on into 2006 due to his producer album with fellow producer Illmind, The Art of Onemind.

SFP’s 2006 LP, The Healing, is nothing short of a classic, carving out their own niche in this hip-hop game, earning respect as emcees and original songwriters. The Healing includes a young dream team of producers such as Jake One (G-Unit, Lloyd Banks, De La Soul), Illmind (Common, Dave Ghetto, Supastition), 9th Wonder (Little Brother, Jay Z, Destiny’s Child, Mary J. Blige) Nicolay (Foreign Exchange) and Vitamin D (Rah Digga, Kardinal Offishall, Black Sheep, Choklate, Blackalicious) just to name a few. The Healing also includes special guests: Little Brother , Darien Brockington and singer/songwriter Thesis.
