With

HELLADOPE, the local hip-hop duo has been making some noise around the scene (though, admittedly, I’m late to the party) with their interstellar soundscapes and playful lyrics. Listening to Seattle natives Tay Sean, 21, and Jerm, 28, put me in mind of Outkast, Cee-Lo, Lil Wayne, and several other MCs unafraid of skirting the stratosphere with their weirdness. And, yes, that’s a good thing.
Tay, who does all of the duo’s production, described Helladope’s style as “that space-age funk” and/or “neo-soul funk-jazz hip-hop.” He went on to cite J. Dilla, Organized Noize, and Platinum Pied Pipers as influences.
