Artist description In the time honored tradition of creating hip-hop collectives such as the Wu-Tang Clan, The Fugees, and more recently Nappy Roots, Herb and Skills has grown from a wealth of accomplished individual artists to become more than the sum of its parts. But don’t be fooled, Herb and Skills’ The Gathering carries a unique and original sound by melding big beats and well-timed samples with the warm tones of guitar, double bass and percussion. Lyrically, the group runs the gamut from classic emcee battle songs to socially conscious tracks that give their sound an emotional, soulful feel more akin to old school artists than today’s superficial and commercialized hip-pop.

Artist History . It came about when Dark Starr Emporium’s Jorma Starratt joined forces with Hano Leathers of the Attica Sound Farm recording studio in Athens, Georgia to form the Attica Sound label. These two put together elements of the rich underground hip-hop world of Athens and added talent from New york to Hawaii. Herb and Skills was originally the production of collaborators Leathers and Starratt, but over time, the individual elements that came together to create the album presented such positive cohesion and talent that the hip-hop collective was born.
