partyboobytrap
Virtue, Exquisite Corpse and DJ Emoh are rewriting the rules of hip-hop. Known collectively as partyboobytrap, the three artists are anything but an ordinary hip-hop tandem. Virtue and Exquisite Corpse intricately observe the world around them and are quick to point out its flaws and quirks. Displacing traditional hip-hop clichés with layers of internal rhymes and witty, biting realizations, partyboobytrap speaks to a generation of people cast aside by mainstream society.
Virtue has a long-running relationship with hip-hop. Growing up in Calgary, he spent days and nights helping his family run the city’s first hip-hop shop with his family. He began making music at the age of 12, working tirelessly to perfect his wordplay, delivery, and production skills. Virtue eventually moved on to produce and release his first solo album, Good Will Hunting, while he was in high school.
The Philadelphia-bred Exquisite Corpse was raised on an extensive variety of musical genres, nearly all of which are reflected in his production. Building off his drumming talent, Exquisite crafted a style of musicianship that reflected his eclectic taste, drawing from everything from soul to metal. Upon moving to Boston in 2007, Exquisite met Virtue while attending Emerson College, and the two began to merge their musical abilities into what is now partyboobytrap.
2010 saw the addition of partyboobytrap’s third member, DJ Emoh. Well-known for backing many of the big name acts that come through Boston, Emoh mastered his technique as one-third of the Deck Demons. Emoh uses vicious, precise cuts on the tracks to bring a special flair that recalls hip-hop’s golden era. DJ Emoh will be touring with the group and recording finishing scratches for partyboobytrap’s upcoming project, Time Crisis.
In 2008, partyboobytrap released its self-titled debut album while playing a furious show schedule throughout the basements of Boston and Cambridge. The album received strong feedback, but partyboobytrap had bigger ideas in mind. During the summer of 2009, Virtue and Exquisite found themselves living in a cramped dormitory, confined by the concrete jungle that is New York City. After long days at work, the duo spent nights recording what would become their sophomore full-length, Entrapment, which studied the elements of the world that trap people. Featuring acclaimed contemporaries such as Mac Lethal and Nobs, Entrapment is an ambitious, dark, and humorous project that expands on the duo’s previous work. Both partyboobytrap albums were released within the Fameless Fam collective, and they are currently hard at work on their third album with plans to evolve its innovative and enticing sound.
