SamSo I saw these guys on Saturday in NOHO (NYC), and their show was pretty bonkers. Tons of energy, weird look and weird music. I was feeling the vibe though. There were actually hot girls at an underground hip-hop show which is a rarity. You’re either going to love or hate these dudes. They actually just got singed to Duck Down Records, which is obviously a great look. Below is an excerpt from their myspace where they describe themselves. “Our aim is basically to do to rap what Elton John did to being gay”. Classic. Download link, preview links, and track list below.
