Working side by side for years to develop each others individual styles, producer Nezbeat and lyricist I.D. spawned a common sound. With the addition of long term cohort J-Mo on the decks, the trio became Archetype in the summer of 2000. For the next two years, the group played innumerable shows in the Lawrence/Kansas City area (and several throughout the midwestern region) which would help them build a strong base from which their music could expand. The body of work that would become the "Freehand Formula" was a creation of three like minds who's broad range of influences include artists such as Stevie Wonder, Beck, The Roots, D.I.T.C., and Madeski Martin and Wood, just to name a few. From where they draw their inspiration helps explain their unbound style and their endless drive to keep creating new, interesting, un-monotonous music. The chosen material on their first full length release "Freehand Formula" has been trimmed, cut and refined to represent the evolution of Archetype's collective vision thus far. From here they will only grow and progress as individual artists as well as a group. With out much more to be said, we'll let the music speak for itself. enjoy
