2Mex – God Future (Odd Future Diss)

Free album from 2Ugli For Hollywood, who I barely know except for his work with LoDeck. You’ll recognize a lot of the features here like Jise (Arsonists) and 2mex. Some fun joints including ’93 Mentality which they apparently shot a video for back in ’08. Home Away From Home also has visuals from late last year. If you were wondering, the collabos here seem a bit more organic versus the now common verse-for-cash.

I haven’t. Not proactively anyway. Not in a playful way. Not in a serious way. In no way. Come to think of it, I don’t recall my parents ever listening to this music with me. And considering how much time I spent as a young knucklehead listening to damn rap, that’s a lot of time spent apart. If it came on the radio during a long drive maybe, but even then not for long. And it’s not like I wanted to listen with them. And they weren’t necessarily vocal about their disapproval, if it could even be called that. It just didn’t seem like something to do together. Maybe I thought my worlds would collide? What is that embarrassed feeling? Parents just don’t understand? 2mex’s mom doesn’t seem to appreciate it either. But maybe that’s because she prefers to rock A Book Of Human Language dolo.

2Mex – What You Know About ft. Prince Po (SULLified Re-Mex)

2Mex – Dead Hand Control feat Maney Wilson

Produced by Deeskee, via

Grainy footage, low audio. Just kinda curious what a show is like in Berlin.

Recently released 12inch from grandgood friend Ceschi with guest appearances by 2Mex, Awol One, Myka 9 and DJ Scientist. Peep the snippets below. link

Same Old Love Song feat. 2Mex & Awol One (Original Version)

Same Old Love Song feat. 2Mex & Awol One (DJ Scientist Alternate Mix)

Objects Are Falling feat. Myka 9

Same Old Love Song feat. 2Mex & Awol One (Snatchatec Remix)

Same Old Love Song feat. 2Mex & Awol One (Backdraft Remix)

Not sure how I haven’t heard about this until now but Deeskee just released the follow-up to his debut album “Blacklight Sessions” on iTunes. I first heard about the ridiculous lineup a few years ago but it seemed to be one of those mythical albums that might never see the light of day. Glad I was wrong. The only thing stopping me from pressing the buy button is whether or not it’s available on vinyl or CD. Thanks for the info Lauren!

Just in time because I was in the mood for some new Deeskee material. Anyone know when Audiobiograffitti is supposed to drop? link

Los Angeles emcee 2MEX is committing career suicide and loving every minute of it. His new group (yes…another group), THE RETURNERS, has delivered an album entitled Break Up Your Make Up as a loose tribute to the campy horror film, Cemetary Man. This collaborative juggernaut of a project features such indie-rap heavyweights as P.O.S., Busdriver, Grayskul, Awol One and many more.

In the Cemetary Man movie, “the returners” come back to life as
zombies to find their true love. On this album, The Returners come back to do more of the same while invoking the spirit of mid-90′s horrorcore. Break Up Your Make Up is sort of like…Gravediggaz meets Hot Child in the City. Street tales of love lost and love lust over Deeskee’s “Temple of Boom” inspired production.

This trunk-thumping twist of a tribute is all a backdrop to the
contrasting styles of veteran emcees 2Mex and Die Del Amor. They are joined on the mic by punk rocker Staceydee, making her Pharcyde-esque hiphop debut on songs like First Kill and Powerless. Bay Area producer Deeskee seamlessly ties the entire concept together, bringing back the unashamed art of sampling while weaving a fun production style into the dark and eerie vibe of the lyrics. If you sync this album up with the visuals of Kubrick’s “Eyes Wide Shut” it will save the group on video costs, so feel free to give that a try.

From the album Break Up Your Make Up by The Returners (2Mex, Die The Hunter, Deeskee & Stacey Dee) coming out on Strange Famous Records. spotted @ ugsmag, peace to Deeskee

Ooohh! That’s Heavy! coming through with another nice vinyl release in the near future.
