About Team Sleep
After the success of the Deftones' third album, The White Pony, singer Chino Moreno announced his intentions to tackle a new project and take time off from his band. This project ended up becoming Team Sleep, a band made up of vocalist Moreno, turntablist DJ Crook, and guitarist Todd Wilkinson. Wilkinson was a childhood friend of Moreno's, and in fact had never played on an album before. The group tried to blend the moody heaviness of Moreno's other group with the heady beats of Massive Attack. They entered the studio toward the tail-end of 2001, working with producer Terry Date on their debut. Guest musicians such as ex-Hole bassist Melissa Auf Der Maur, Helium singer Mary Timony, Mr. Bungle/Faith No More frontman Mike Patton, and several Deftones members also contributed to the album. The band took the music to the road during the recording, attempting to flesh out their sound and gain some road experience with each other. Their self-titled debut finally arrived in spring 2005. ~ Bradley Torreano, All Music Guide

Swagga Like Us T.I. & Jay-Z Feat. KanYe West & Lil' Wayne |
| If the 80s saw New York rappers rule the roost in the USA and the 90s saw the rise of East Coast rappers such as Dr Dre. and Snoop Dogg, its safe to say that the 00s have seen the South come to be the major force in commercial Hip Hop. Enter Atlanta born rapper T.I. whose latest album, Paper Trail, looks set to storm into the number one slot in the US album charts and help solidify a real shift in power that has been bubbling in the last 10 years with rappers such as Ludacris, Lil Jon, Lil Wayne and Soulja Boy. On Swagger Like Us T.I. uses a sample from British artist M.I.A., one of the few artists who is as hot as T.I. himself right now in the States, and then assembles a dream team of rappers including Jay-Z. Lil Wayne and KanYe West to create a track that is predictably going down a storm for hip hop fans. Also predictably, Swagger Like Us treads the familiar lyrical territory of women, cash, clothes, guns and rhyming ability. But hey, when the beats are this banging and the rappers are this profile who cares? To paraphrase Tim Westwood, THIS IS BIG IN THE GAME! | |
