Fuck yeah Doomtree. Miss those cats. Don't know much about it but sounds like there was a big falling out. Still got the old albums and they ring truer than ever.

Their parent label, Rhymesayers, had most of the drama.

The worst shit was (under the parent label, Rhymsayers) Prof and Dem Atlas. Like, actual rape and putting women in the hospital:

Dem Atlas’ reported ex-girlfriend wrote on Twitter, “The first 2 people u ever dated / loved getting called out for being rapists and abusers in the same day is a weird feeling. Even tho it’s true.” She also shared an old photo of herself in the hospital with a bloody nose, her arm in a bandage and injuries to her face. “TW domestic violence: You’ve had these pictures for years, but here’s a reminder,” she tweeted to the Rhymesayers Twitter account. “You knew this happened to me within hours of it happening. I was always josh’s crazy gf. 2 years late is better than never I guess.”

So they got dropped from Rhymesayers.

Prof just kept doing what he was doing and making music under a different label.

POS was just, well, kind of a POS. He lied and cheated, and would say what it took to get laid. However, he did the adult thing, admitted his faults and apologized, then stepped back from music to work on himself. Which ended Doomtree as a group.

Dessa is the only one from Doomtree making music. But it's been like 5 years, I'm ready for POS to come back. As far as I know, nothing he did was illegal. He was just running around being a fuckboy.

Most people in POS's position, would have handled it like Prof.
