"Doonie's Shoes" from the album "More Than Your Money's Worth" Bio: The Forbidden Dialect is a Columbus, Georgia-based hip-hop collective composed of 6 artists from a diversity of backgrounds. Over 10 years ago the Dialect first impacted (or shall we say, created) the local hip-hop scene; becoming an influential act within backpacker, intellectual, b-boy, and even skater social circles. Each emcee holds his own, being a skilled lyricist in the most technical of ways. Their rich story telling, rhythmatic poetry, and urgent social commentary go hand and hand with refreshing and unique beats, influenced by bebop jazz, drum & bass, classic break beats, and Latin music. The Dialect’s sound is completed by occasional turntablism and invited live musicians, all with a deep respect for the creative and cultural of hip-hop music.
