Looking to freshen’ up your hip-hop collection? Brooklyn rap duo The Underachievers have just dropped a free 17-song mixtape called Indigoism (Brainfeeder), and it’s well worth the listen! Ak and Issa Dash are two young rappers in NY’s Beast Coast crew and they caught the ear of Flying Lotus and his Brainfeeder label last Spring. He explains: “A friend sent over one of their videos. The first song I heard – ‘Gold Soul Theory’ – was perfect. I heard it and I didn’t even have to hear a second song. I couldn’t figure out why these kids weren’t killing it right now. It blew me away how professional everything was, but also how forward thinking and spiritually minded these young kids were. It just made complete sense. Within the first 20 seconds I was pretty sure I was going to try to sign them. I never get that feeling.”Indigoism features the duo’s underground hits like “Gold Soul Theory”, “Herb Shuttles”, and “Leopard Shepherd”, as well as new tracks produced by folks like Mr Bristol, Rich Flyer, The Entreproducers, Bruce Lee Kixxs, Juice, Lou The Human from Tribe Gang, and Dreamrite.
