I must admit: I don’t know that much about this band but from what I’ve heard so far, I’ve enjoyed.
A versatile outfit, first making a name for themselves reworking classic hip hop songs from the likes of Nas, their talent has now reached heights of twitter stardom via Trump’s tweeting. They created a satircal music video with Snoop Dog that contained a scene where Trump is “shot” using a fake gun that shoots a blank. Trump was clearly not happy about this, so much so, that he had to rescind his duties momentarily as the leader of the free world to address this problem by tweeting the band and Snoop Dog.
I like these guys because they’re fresh, jazzy and not afraid to take risks- refusing to be pigeon holed into a specific genre. That’s what I gathered through listening to their album IV. Check their NPR tiny desk concert below, watch for when they bring on Charlotte Day Wilson around the 9 minute mark, trust me!
