Formed in the summer of 2008, The Forest City Lumberjacks consists of Fresco, Joeself and Ryebread. Joe and Rye met years ago through graffiti and fruitbooting. After Joe came home from college, him and Rye decided to do an album together. Fueled by Goodwill's beats initially, the product of the alliance was pure hip-hop in it's rawest form. Fresco was introduced to the team through serendipitous events. Joe's first meeting with him was a booze fueled cipher in a backyard. After proving himself in at Grillz and Skillz 9, Fresco was the bona fide golden child of Rockford hip-hop. After he laced a track with the Lumberjacks, it was evident that he would become an integral part of the dynamic, bringing smooth flow and fresh lyrics and more to the group. What emerged from this melding of minds is a three headed monster with chainsaws for hands. The Forest City Lumberjacks are a force to be reckoned with.
