@collecthumans #hiphop #newmusic

A few days ago, I received this album by Collectible Humans, titled “String Theory“. Collectible Humans is a Maryland hip hop duo between Adam Selene and Joshua Coberly. They both rap, and production was completely handled by Adam Selene. Cuts from DJ Addikt, too.

There are 7 tracks, with a play-out time of 29 minutes, and it’s “meant to be just an introductory effort.” And a good introduction it is, because I absolutely loved it. It’s heavy in sound, with sharp lyricism, and will keep your head-nodding from beginning to end. There’s a healthy mix of hip hop, rock, and a tinge of metal. The anger and frustration that is unleashed through the high-adrenaline vocals and grungy beats is refreshing. Actually, Adam described Collectible Humans as sounding “somewhere between Company Flow and Kyuss.” That should help you out.
