That crew is Doomtree, a baseball lineup’s worth of emcees, producers, and DJs, who recently released their first official self-titled LP. We had the chance to...
“And she’s throwing passes like Troy Aikman.” Playing a little bit of catch up today, as the RH spent filming a new segment for our In The Studio With series.
