Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Fine. It's Christian rap. Whatever. But here's the thing about the 10-piece hip-hop supergroup known as
DeepSpace5: They're pretty damn legit, having moved over 100,000 discs since its first release in 1998, and having shared the stage with the likes of KRS-One, Atmosphere and MF Doom. Check the above video, which took home the second-place prize when it was debuted in a competition at the 2008 Skribble Jam, for some evidence.
Earlier this week, the collective, which features three Dallas emcees (Playdough, Freddie Bruno and Sivion), released The Future Ain't What It Used To Be for Rob Viktum's Mega Royal Records. It's kind of a banger, folks--not to mention the fledgling label's biggest release to date.
After the jump, download a free mp3 of the backpacker jam, "Killing With Kindness." Listening is believing. In DeepSpace5, that is. Or, well, whatever, I guess.

Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
