RIME FORCE MOST ILLIN’
If the goal is to tell the concise truth, the Rime Force Most Illin’ bio should read as four simple words: We Crush The Set. If you like JVC Force, Tuff Crew, Krown Rulers, Masters of Ceremony, MCs of Rap, Lejuan Love, Cash Money and Marvelous, Mikey D and the L.A. Posse, Spanish Prince, Tricky Tee, M.C. Rell & the Houserockers, the Techno Hop and Saturn Records discographys, the Bay Area’s Chris and Ray, and DJ King Tech’s Flynamic Force (just to name a few) you’ll get the vision of Rime Force.
If any of the music on that list is foreign to you, go discover it now, and then comeback and bear witness to RFMI’s homage to those who made the hip hop sound fresh, vibrant and immediate: The Force is Slammin’, indeed. RFMI is a deadly rap tandem dealing out tag team rimes and routines to set the house on fire, made up of MCs known to keep a mic on their person, Rob Rush [Rec League] and Luke Sick [Grand Invincible/Sacred Hoop], and accompanied by SF’s legendary DJ Quest on scratches and a slew of cutty yet critical names on production, including Fatees [Antwon, Sick Sad World], Vrse Murphy [Sacred Hoop, Neila], G-Pek [Z-Man, Gurp City], and Proe [Rec League].

My mom bought me a drum machine when i was a freshman in high school. Ever since then I’ve been tree’d up!
Al Lover
In short, Al Lover is a producer from San Francisco, but there’s more layers to his wall of sound then meets the ear. Over the last few years he has gained much notoriety for his melding of contemporary and past garage and psychedelic rock into harsh yet spacey abrasive beats. Influenced as much by The 13th Floor Elevators as DJ Shadow, Al Combines crunchy drums, shaky percussion, chopped samples and layers of textured effects to create an unexplored path for psychedelic music, offering an earthy and loose approach that sounds more like you’re listening to a DMT fueled psych band than a beat made on an MPC.
Height With Friends
I’ve been recording and performing as Height since 1998. I added the ‘with friends’ in 2008 and made it more of a band, and less like a rapper with an anonymous crew. The cast is constantly revolving.We’ve released thirteen albums and EP’s. Wham City, Friends, Grand Man, Dogg Pony, Aural States and Snowghost Records have all put out our music.We’ve played over 500 shows in the US, Canada and Europe. We have toured with Future Islands, Dan Deacon, Beach House, Jana Hunter, Grand Buffet, Adventure, Cex, The Death Set, and Oxes as well as many equally good, but yet lesser known acts.

We tend to keep all the writing and production in-house, but we’ve also been fortunate to collaborate with artists like Tobacco and Wye Oak.
The music of Height has changed drastically over the years, and it will continue to evolve. The goal is always to make understated, moving music from the heart.
