Dream Capsules - Counting Sheep (2002)

 


 

So you want some truly underground sh*t? Here you go. I found this one based on the rec of a friend of theirs and I gotta say I truly enjoy it. Me and this dude have been chatting a bit and he's got a crazy collection of his own work which has also given me the distinct impression he knows his indie rap (that may see the UGF spotlight in the near future also). So for now we have this. I've heard enough of it to say it's likely what many of you grew up listening too and probably miss from time to time. A group of friends with talent having fun and recording it. Yeeeeeeah.

Counting Sheep is the only (official) release by Dream Capsules, the high school group consisting of Matters, Mr. Johnson, Abrupt and Keplon with production handled by Athos. Hailing from Woodland, CA these cats produced this short album, handed it out at shows, parties, street corners etc. in the Sacramento area and the rest is a mystery to me.

This is such quintessential Northern Cali rap. JKC flavor with a bit of Joe Dub swagger and some Mystik Journeymen conscious beauty, all executed by kids who sound like the folks we used to blaze a bit with and watch funny TV shows.

Makes me nostalgic. I bet it will you as well. Enjoy!
