Greetings! Thank u for droppin by our blog! Our mixtape release party is on the 24th of July which is about a week from now! We're excited about puttin out this project and we hope that yall would like it. It's gonna be at To Kwa Wan Cattle Depot. We just wanted a different environment for rap music instead of the usual club scenes. Since some of our members are into other forms of arts besides music, we decided that the Cattle Depot Arts Village is a good place to launch our free mixtape. Hope to see all of you on that day!
Apart from the mixtape, we're going on a new direction musically. We're getting our minds off the mid-90s themed mixtape and workin on new stuff. So, here's a video of one of the new songs called "Fantasy Island" which is heavily inspired by Redang Island, Malaysia. Ironically, one of our members Kodie couldnt appear in the video as he was actually having a trip to Malaysia.
Peace!
COME TO THE MIXTAPE RELEASE PARTY AND GET A FREE COPY OF THE 85MIXTAPE!!
Our Mixtape will be released soon! This is a song from the tape called So Far To Go featuring Ghost Style. It's a song about our relationship with music. Jacked a beat from Common which was produced by the late J. Dilla. Common was the one who did "I Used To Love HER". So it's only right that we do a song like this over his beat.
All of yall gotta come to our mixtape release party! More details soon!
