NORTHERN STATE


ARTIST / BAND: NORTHERN STATE
SONG (MP3): dying in stereo
ALBUM: Dying in Stereo
FILE UNDER: Hi p Hop
LABEL: Ipecac Records
INFO: There are three of us, and we’ve been friends for a very long time. Our names are Sprout, Hesta Prynn and Spero. Our government names are Robyn Goodmark, Julie Potash, and Correne Spero, respectively. We grew up on Long Island, in the real suburban part, not in some seaside town.
Sprout and Hesta Prynn lived down the block from one another. Spero grew up south of the Expressway and met Sprout in High School. Sprout knew every word of every old-school hip hop song. Spero had purple hair but surprisingly knew most of the words to ‘O.P.P’. Spero and Sprout became connected at the hip and tore it up on the dance floor to ‘Black Sheep’ at every sweet sixteen. Eventually Sprout introduced Spero to her friend Julie Potash. Julie was just a young Hesta Prynn waiting to happen. Spero was into it.
