The 2 Hungry Bros have continued to provide mcees like HomeBoy Sandman and HiPNOTT’s own P.SO the Earthtone King amongst several, with exciting soundscapes to carry their profound lyrical artistry. Now as family guys, one of the bros, Deep, is sharing a collection of beats that define his experiences in New York City’s Pre Gentrified Lower East Side. Each beat is a dedication to elements which contributed to the 2 Hungry Bros dark and brooding yet energetic and playful sound. As a long time student of theology, Deep is also addressing the term known as Objective Immortality with the albums content and cover art. This album is the soundtrack to the magic in that old hood comprised of Puerto Rican & Dominican Santeros, Chinese Mystics, Jewish Kabbalists, and more. This is the legacy Deep is leaving for his son and all lovers of Hip Hop music.

Them That Do..... and you're damn right. "Do" was the right verbiage chosen to represent this group made up of 3 emcees (Phat Hentoff, Jasper Brown, and Chuck Daily) and a beatmaker/producer (Small Professor). Yes, we live in a digital age where collaborations need not occur on a face-to­‐face basis, but when they do, it's quite special. It takes effort for grown men, each with their own individual aims, aspirations, families, and livings to make, to assemble collectively, build with each other, and create music. Songs don't build themselves and writers don't all relate to each other, which is what makes the cohesiveness of this unit stand out. Jazz samples and dusty breaks forge the sonic scenery across the length of their upcoming debut album, albeit with a sense of modernity, simply "being", as opposed to "trying to be".

For the first single, "Arrowheads", Them That Do team up with Grammy nominated singer/producer Muhsinah. Check it out and pre-order the album now, which drops on January 15th.
