The duo call it quits after seven years together.

Seattle experimental rap duo THEESatisfaction have broken up. They announced the news in a statement on their Tumblr explaining that “we have decided to grow and take our individual careers to the next level”.

Beginning in 2009 as a collaboration between Stasia “Stas” Irons and Catherine “Cat” Harris-White, the group self-released multiple albums and EPs before eventually signing to Sub Pop in 2012. They will be fondly remembered for their many collaborations with fellow Sub Pop artist, Seattle rap greats Shabazz Palaces.

Read their full statement below and revisit our interview with them from last year.

“After seven years of creating, touring, pushing boundaries and breaking through glass ceilings, THEESatisfaction has decided to end the group. We have decided to grow and take our individual careers to the next level.

Having been on the road every year since our first with very few breaks, it is time for us to rest, reflect & grow independently. We are grateful to our family, friends, fans, our agent Robin Taylor and our recording label Sub Pop for the ongoing support.

Sincerely,

THEESatisfaction”
