I’m pleased to announce that the Milky Way will be offering our first release this week. We’re only calling it a mixtape because we don’t know what else to call it, and ‘mixtape’ is the closest word that fits. Plus there is a mixtape element since our masterful turntable maestro Cee Brown makes sure everything rides like a dream (I can hear him saying “pause” as I type this).
I like to think of this project more like a sampler of our sounds….a sonic gallery of sorts. There’s not really a bunch of sixteens over recognizable beats…or even alot of rappin’ in general. There’s plenty of it, it’s just not the FOCUS. Without spoiling it for you, just expect alot rarities and oddities that only the Milky Way can provide. It’s a unique experience that might be disorienting at first, but is ultimately quite charming, if I can say so myself.
Stay tuned, we drop this thing this Friday, August 20th.
We celebrate with grilled chili and barbequed spaghetti this SUNDAY at X-man’s crib, and we’d love for you to come out.

I need a physical copy… I need it for the time capsule and the artwork. Not only do I want to hear the first release, I want to feel it too. Call me cousin….
