Educated Consumers is a Washington, DC Metro Area HipHop duo composed of producer T.E.C.k! and MC SeezMics. Theappeal of the group comes from their blend of the golden eras of the HipHop genre: the early 90’s style of production and new millennium approach to Mceeing. While T.E.C.k! employs the art of crate-digging to provide the beats, SeezMics speaks on universal truths about human existence to create the perfect hybrid. The production and lyricism compliment each other to create the perfect blend of HipHop music’s best attributes.
His writing and improvisational skills garnered him praise in the DC area as he developed a reputation as an abnormal battle MC with a flair for thought-provoking concept songs. The Educated Consumers material exhibits the versatility that Seez has become known for both at homebase and around the world.
The most distinct characteristic of Seez’s presence on the mic is his voice. The deep, gravely tones he emits allow him to manipulate his many styles over every type of beat. However, as cdbaby.com has said, “the genius is in the details”. The attention to word choice and delivery technique is instantly obvious from the first listen.
“I know that I’m dealing with a limited format (rhyming), but within that format there are so many possibilities. Finding the right words to express a thought is the key, and it putting them together as a rap ties everything together.”
In Summary,
Jason’s beats are sample-based classic
Cole’s raps are drenched in irony and extrovertly introspective.
We’ve toured. We’ve headlined. We’ve opened. We’ve done a million bios and none of them explain us better than the music.
Listen close enough and you’ll understand.
