DAS RACIST
... just relax!
Brooklyn's finest weed edge/hare krishna hard core/art rap/freak folk music trio take on the fake patois boldly baking their Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life, and new civilizations where Michael Jackson has gone before. A million dollars. You feel me?
After their recent 30+ date US tour to “impregnate America with pop-art rap stylings/next-level street literature” and launch new album Relax with friends Danny Brown and Despot... they cruise the cobblestones of Europe for the coming month before taking a plunge into the great southern cultural cornucopia that is Australia. Having beamed up for the 2012 Big Day Out Das Racist venture into deeper quarters as this ''white guilt art project/science experiment/ponzi scheme piloted by @heems, KOOL A.D. and The Honorable Prophet Dapwell'' up the spice and down the strip with some extra cool club shows.
Das Racist follow the ''top-shelf wiseassery and sneaky political incisiveness'' of last year's mixtapes Sit Down, Man and Shut up, Dude and raise the roof of your mouths with Relax lead track Michael Jackson and its whacked out video. Relax was produced with a mixed bag of collaborators including Diplo, El-P, Yeasayer's Anand Wilder and Vampire Weekend's Rostam Batmanglij... and is out on Hima's own Greedhead label.
