"We have arrived in the vein of independent Minneapolis rap music.
Our lyrics contain the political themes and family values of
Chicano artists and the production is our own - beats designed
from Brown-Eyed Soul Samples and Classic Rock breaks.
Cost of Living is the project we have spent our lives crafting and
perfecting. The album's lyrics call to attention the struggle of
brown families in North America, as well as addressing the
responsibility of an artist to give back more than we have taken.
We have spent the last 2 years writing and recording this project.
Simultaneously, we have been developing a hip-hop songwriting and
recording curriculum for young people (used in the Minneapolis
YMCA).
We are co-founders of Famfeud - Minneapolis' most-respected and
recognized hip-hop production squad. Medium Zach and Brandon
Allday have contributed production to albums by: I Self Devine;
Kanser; Unknown Prophets; Krazy Race; Sims; Try-D; Ernie Rhodes;
Toki Wright; Nomi; EPL & Snakebird; Famfeud."
