Biography

"Why should you, the discriminating hiphop fan, be interested in Dyme Def? Simple, chief—the trio of MCs (Brainstorm, Fearce Vill, and S.E.V.) make witty and catchy street-oriented brag rap, backed up by the rep and the sure-shot heat of Seatown's own beat bully BeanOne. Dyme Def can rock a helluva show; their tag-team tradeoffs and stage swagger convinced many a skeptical 206 crowd in the last year. Why? 'Cause it's hiphop— fun, sneering, and holding its nuts. Even people that make hiphop in this town are excited about this crew's potential—and coming from Seattle's chronically indifferent scene, that says a lot. ("It seems there was a buzz around the group before people even heard the music," says BeanOne.) Their infectious energy owes not a little bit to the crew's young age (the members are all in their early 20s), which also makes them some of the hungriest cats at the table right now. And they've got plans to release a debut album within the first few months of the New Year. That right there is the most interesting thing about Dyme Def—the fact that they're just getting started."
