notes

Butterfly Toungz have been critically acclaimed by The Indianapolis Star, NUVO Entertainment Weekly, Distortion Music Magazine and Shotgun Reviews for their third album, "Wide. Open. Spaces." Butterfly Toungz have turned heads at various stage shows by beat boxing over break beats and combining elements of classic rock, jazz, funk, soul and old-school hip-hop into their music.

Butterfly Toungz were recently awarded as "Sixth Place Finalist" out of over 140,000 other artists for "Best Experimental Song" at the JPF Music Awards in Los Angeles, CA.

Butterfly Toungz formed in Indianapolis, IN after DJ Germ was in attendance at Sub-One's solo performance.The upcoming DJ and gifted graffiti artist from Indiana University's Herron School of Art hit it off with MC/Producer Sub-One, and formed their current duo...Butterfly Toungz. DJ Germ has been featured in the Indianapolis Star and News promoting his "artist" lifestyle. Sub-One received his undergraduate degree from Indiana University with an emphasis in English and Music Studies. He is a graduate from the Conservatory of Recording Arts and Sciences where he earned his Masters of Audio Recording and Engineering in Tempe, Arizona. He is certified in ProTools 135 and completed an internship at DARP Studios in Atlanta, GA.

During their years in college, the group has worked on several independent projects for students and businesses around the Midwest. Last year, Butterfly Toungz' music appeared in a BMX Documentary DVD entitled "Destination: Air," which premiered before the start of the 2004 Gravity Games.

  • The Pharcyde meets De La Soul....
    author: KnowMadd

    This disc is what hip hop has been missing for several years. Wide.Open.Spaces. brings back the days of light hearted rhymes and serious neck snappin beats! MC Sub One (aka Mr. Bus One) takes you into his world and shows you that hip hop is not dead. the lead off track "Here Come The...." pulls you into a place where pure mc skills, not materialism and flossin reign supreme. This cd touches on subjects that average folks deal with from teenage pregnancy to every man's best friend ("Richard Nixon"), to the hardships of loosing a child. This disc is a MUST for anyone who is still bumpin early 90s hip hop and misses the heyday when Tribe, De la, Pharcyde were puttin it down.

  • Wide.Open.Spaces is a unique roller coaster timeline.

    Wide.Open.Spaces is a unique roller coaster timeline. With the songs progressing into deeper and more intense issues and concepts, the Butterfly Toungz have created more than "just another CD"...but an unforgetable album. Most CD's these days are full of filler songs with one or two decent pieces, often leaving the listener flipping through to just listen to those selected songs. Wide.Open.Spaces, on the other hand, is like a novel... it is complete entertainment from start to finish. Honestly, one of the best hip hop albums I've heard.
