Created by members of Minneapolis rap supergroup
Doomtree,
Shredders is a propulsive side project consisting of rappers
P.O.S. and
Sims and producers
Lazerbeak and Paper Tiger. The quartet formed in the summer of 2016 as a creative outlet to stay active in between
Doomtree and solo efforts. With even more cross-genre influence than
Doomtree proper -- think
Run the Jewels' aggressive production blended with
Major Lazer's dancefloor-friendly beats --
Shredders issued their self-titled EP in early 2017. The three-song set included "Ions" featuring
Doomtree emcee
Mike Mictlan. Later that year,
Shredders' debut full-length arrived. Dangerous Jumps again featured
Mictlan on "Style Boys" and "Heater Season," as well as singles "Xanthrax" and "Flipping Cars." ~ Neil Z. Yeung
