Doomtree is an American hip hop collective and record label that was established in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The collective has seven official members: Dessa, Cecil Otter, P.O.S, Sims, Mike Mictlan, Paper Tiger, and Lazerbeak. The group is recognized for integrating a broad spectrum of musical influences, precise lyrical deliveries, and complex wordplay. Doomtree hosts annual “Doomtree Blowout” events in Minneapolis, showcasing their crew performances and contributing to the Twin Cities music scene. The name “Doomtree” does not hold a literal meaning, as explained by P.O.S, but has evolved to represent the collective’s identity and work.
The genesis of Doomtree was a gradual process, evolving from initial collaborations between high school friends P.O.S and MK Larada, who created music with other local artists such as Cecil Otter and Beautiful Bobby Gorgeous. The concept for an in-house production team, initially between P.O.S and Cecil Otter, eventually led to the official formation of Doomtree. Members like Sims and Lazerbeak, fellow Hopkins High School alumni, joined, followed by Mike Mictlan after returning to Minneapolis from Los Angeles. Dessa joined after an encounter with P.O.S. Early in its history, some initial members, including MK Larada, Turbo Nemesis, Tom Servo, and Beautiful Bobby Gorgeous, gradually left the group. MK Larada is also credited with designing Doomtree’s “Wings and Teeth” logo. The collective’s first official album, “Doomtree,” was released in 2008.
The collective has released three studio albums, with “No Kings” (2011) receiving critical acclaim. The documentary film, “Team the Best Team,” was released in 2012. In 2012, Time magazine recognized Doomtree in its list of “11 Great Bands You Don’t Know (But Should).” Minneapolis Mayor R. T. Rybak proclaimed December 12, 2012, as “Doomtree Day.” Their third group album, “All Hands,” was released in 2015. Doomtree also curated the first Doomtree Zoo festival in October 2015 at CHS Field. The collective operates its own label, Doomtree Records, releasing group albums and most solo works. Dessa serves as the official CEO of the label, which is managed collaboratively by the entire group with support from additional personnel.
