'''Boom Bap Project''' is an [[underground hip hop]] group formed in [[Seattle]], [[Washington (U.S. state)|Washington]], currently signed to [[Rhymesayers]] record label. The group recently relocated to the San Francisco Bay area after lifetimes spent in the Pacific Northwest. The group's core members are '''Karim''', '''[[DJ Scene]]''', and '''Destro'''. Karim, a University of Oregon graduate, grew up in San Francisco. He then went to the [[University of Oregon]], where Zach Johnson (future Stuck Records founder) met him, bringing him to Seattle and introducing him to [[oldominion]] and specifically Destro; then known as Dom. DJ Scene, a renowned turntablist in the Seattle scene, replaced original DJ Tre; a nice guy who was talented but just didn't fit in with the proudly self-proclamed "Dickheads" of Karim and Destro. The group claims "''The Boom Bap Project stands for one thing...preservation of true hiphop music and culture.''" They have worked with producer [[Jake One]], and [[hip hop collaborations|collaborated]] with such rappers as [[L'Roneous]], [[Gift of Gab (rapper)|Gift of Gab]], [[Rakaa|Rakaa Iriscience]], and [[Pep Love]].
