There is no doubt that hip hop has migrated south to saturate itself with Atlanta’s music scene. Truth be told: the world is sittin’ in the trap, crunked out on ATL. However, when you travel east of the city and journey within the gritty wooded landscape, you’ll find rap duo Da Backwudz. These lyrical assassins have been grindin’ for years, starting with Milwaukee Black’s Major Way Entertainment where they developed their sound. Then in 2004, they linked with Rowdy Records, headed by super producer Dallas Austin (Drumline, TLC, Boyz II Men). Now in 2006, Da Backwudz is emerging from the bushes with their debut album, Wood Work. With grim street narratives and soulful beats, Da Backwudz offer the best of both worlds: urban tales with a message. Who knew Decatur, Georgia was harboring talent that would change the game?
