Release Notes:
It should come as no surprise that Field Mobs highly anticipated third album is
stacked with so many celebs. Their debut, 613: From Ashy to Classy, was hailed
by critics as one of the best albums of 2001. The follow-up, From Tha Roota To
Tha Toota, includes the breakout hit 'Sick of Being Lonely,' which struck a
chord with Hip-Hop heads from the East to the West -- and all states in between.
Shooting Field Mob back on the scene was their underground classic 'Georgia'
which created a buzz at radio comparable to the din of a million gnats in your
ear. Featuring Oscar-winner Jamie Foxx and their new Disturbing Tha Peace family
member, Ludacris, 'Georgia' was the lead single and video from the Gold-selling
Ludacris Presents Disturbing Tha Peace Compilation. 'We were trying to do
'Georgia' since our first CD,' Shawn Jay points out. 'We never had the means to
actually put it together. Now, years later, after all we've been through, we
ended up getting it done with the one person that could make it happen,
Ludacris.'
After producing the 2002 smash 'Sick of Being Lonely,' Jazze Pha returns to
bless the duo with the first official single 'So What' featuring Ciara, the
multi-platinum Princess of Crunk and R&B, who also happens to be Smokes cousin.
'So What' is a swirling, funky roller skating jam with a message: Dont believe
rumors, especially when youre in a relationship. Yet it should come as no
surprise that even their radio joints have a deeper meaning -- because theres
always a message in everything Field Mob does.
After listening to their album and getting to know Field Mob and where theyre
from, the album title becomes a no-brainer. 'The name of the album is Light
Poles and Pine Trees because there aint no skyline where we're from,' states
Shawn Jay. 'There's no arch like in St. Louis or palm trees like California,'
continues Smoke. 'You look up and that's what you see in Albany.' Thats Albany,
Geor-giaaa.
Looking to redirect the Southern spotlight their way, Field Mob is certain
theyre delivering the hits to do just that. Having paid just as many dues and
shown just as much heart as other Southern rap stars, Smoke and Shawn J reaffirm
their status as pioneers of the Southern sound with Light Poles and Pine Trees.
'I feel like we're the most posturpedic group in the industry right now,'
declares Shawn Jay. 'Meaning, we're the most slept-on artists. Other artists
know that if we finally get a little bit of light, its over.'
