Release Notes:
Xrabit + DMG$ complete the warm-up for their debut album,
"Hello World," with the self-explanatory "Damaged Good$," a
blast of pure adrenalin, good times and fresh-paint stylings.
Trak Bully and Coool Dundee (collectively known as DMG$ or
Damaged Good$) take this opportunity to introduce themselves
in the most brazen way possible - a flow of words and images
that perfectly encapsulates the way they tie modern Southern
styles back to old skool signifying. Not to be outdone, Xrabit
- a Dalston Prince Paul - fashions fanfares out of kids'
keyboard noises and makes the tune as catchy as flu without
losing any the brutality of his rhythm programming. Throw in
another of Xrabit's mighty remixes (this one sounds like
Sticky doing crunk) and a re-work from Montreal's new young
Bass-Lock champ, Lunice, and it's a package of unimaginable
loveliness.
Straight outta Texas, Trak Bully and Coool Dundee met on their
college basketball team and found they shared a love of cool
clothes and European electronic music. Coool Dundee ran the
hip hop show on college radio, schooling the student ranks on
the history of the music, while while Trak blasted Dirty South
artists such as Slim Thug, UGK, and Outkast through his mp3
headphones during his Biology labs. They started rapping
together, making mixtapes etc, but couldn't find anyone local
who can make the music they were hearing in their heads -
dayglo, outrageous, cartoonish. Then, by chance, Trak came
across the Myspace page of a producer from Dalston in London
whose sound was just what they were after. The producer in
question - Xrabit - had just sent a demo to Big Dada who had
said they would love to work with him if he could find the
right MCs'
The debut album this trio has fashioned is like a Dirty South
"3 Feet High & Rising" for the late noughties. By turns funny,
outrageous, silly and clever, it's distinguished throughout by
cutting edge production that never shies away from a memorable
tune.
