Omerta-SagiHipHop

Constant Deviants released their new album “Omerta” today, Tuesday June 28th.

A concept album drawing its theme principally from M.I. & Dj Cutt’s Italian and Russian heritage, it’s a series of sonic screenplays with familiar names, times, events and cultural reference points set in the mafiosa underworld through the decades.

Adopting the roles of Lucky Luciano and Lansky, the duo use the traditional hip hop art of storytelling by using the subject matter metaphorically to convey parallel meaning, and to quote M.I. directly “address the lifestyle more intelligently, given it’s been done to death in a cliched way so many times before whether in film or by other artists.”

A new 4 star review has been published today by French online SagiHipHop – aka “Les Chroniques de Sagittarius”. Read it in full HERE

The album can be bought now in digital mp3 format direct from the Six2Six Records Bandcamp and is also being distributed worldwide on vinyl – check local specialist stores for availability.

Constant Deviants release their fifth official album “Omerta” tomorrow, Tuesday June 28th through their Six2Six Records imprint.

As they have done since establishing the label in 2009, the album will be distributed worldwide on vinyl as well as being made available digitally through their BANDCAMP

It’s a straight banger from start to finish. MC M.I. has been quoted recently as saying it is possibly the group’s best work to date, and certainly DJ Cutt’s production and turntablism is seriously on point. With M.I. now based in Baltimore and Miami, and DJ Cutt in New Jersey, “Omerta” is the first album for many years to be recorded by the duo while being in the same studio together.

Whether coincidental or otherwise, the results are stunning with the additional twist of adopting a theme throughout which draws on their Italian and Russian heritage.

RIOC

The group are currently in NYC for a weeklong series of press and live radio interviews, which began last night when they dropped in on DJ Eclipse’s Rap Is Outta Control on Sirius XM. Film footage shot by The Beeshine will be released to the internet soon.

Tonight they are on the line with The G.O.A.T. Show which broadcasts 7pm – 9pm EST on Atlanta’s Raw Radio, hosted by KB, JoseyWells and AK. You can listen online via the TuneIn App via www.rawradio.net

They will be live on air every night this week, so check back here daily for the latest information, and also keep up to date with the group on twitter @Cnstnt_Dvnts & @Six2SixShift and over on their Facebook Page

Make sure to cop that real hip hop goodness tomorrow, and meanwhle check their two singles “So Underrated” and “DeLorean”

ATM-TheRealHipHop

Little while back, Chicago journalist Sherron Shabazz, owner of the online The Real Hip Hop jumped on Skype with Long Beach group Horseshoe Gang shortly after the relase of their album “Anti-Trap Music”

They spoke at length about a variety of subjects beginning with the meaning behind the album title and the concept that large areas of hip hop today has moved away from carrying any real message of note.

The discussion moved on to their song “Shoe-icide Squad”, quoted by some as a modern day “Fuck The Police”, and the incident involving Chicago’s Laquan McDonald who was shot and killed by police is debated in the context of their single. The subject then moves to the years they’ve operated as a group, comparing that to most others who inevitably break up as the urge to fly solo becomes too strong, whereas the four brothers see their future as a unit.

The feature also sees them outline the knowledge passed down to them by their elder brother Crooked I while they go into some of the finer detail behind their well documented rap battle with Hopsin’s Funk Volume.

READ THE FULL FEATURE HERE

HorseshoeGang

You’ll be able to hear Horseshoe Gang live in the Homegrown Radio studio with DJ Hed and Chuck Dizzle on Thursday July 21st, broadcasting on Real 92.3 FM LA.

Meanwhile, check out the aforementioned single “Shoe-icide Squad” produced by Tabu

The album was released through Seven 13 Music & Entertainment and is available on iTunes and Amazon

Keep up to date with them on twitter @HorseshoeGang and on their Facebook Page

Any members of the press or media with enquiries or requests regarding Horseshoe Gang can send them to us at UrbanElite PR, our contact details are HERE

Omerta-BritishHipHop

East coast duo, MC M.I. and DJ Cutt – aka Constant Deviants – release their new album “Omerta” on June 28th through their label Six2Six Records.

The album has a theme in the tradtions of a Prince Paul, Little Brother or Kool Keith release in days gone past. The pair draw on their respective Italian and Russian heritage to adopt roles in a series of audio vignettes with familiar cultural reference points. The mafiosa inference is presented metaphorically to relay comparative situations.

This creative approach is consistent with M.I.’s additional focus in the world of movie making. Acting, film writing and film production has been a new venture since the release of “Swiss Banks” last year, a co:production with their European affiliates SWC Records.

MIlrg3

A new movie “Six2Six” which has a completely original storyline with no relation to the label itself co:stars Treach (Naughty by Nature), Syleena Johnson and Chief Rocker Bust Bee, and will be screened by Ralph McDaniels’ Hip Hop Film Festival at the National Black Theater in NYC during the first week of August.

Currently the rapper has been filming scenes for a comedy called “Can’t Live Without My Radio” due for release in 2017.

London journalist Taytula Burke jumped on the phone with them recently to discuss the new ventures, and the feature has just been published in British Hip Hop – read it HERE

Constant Deviants play Baltimore’s “Castaways” on Saturday June 25th before travelling the following day to spend the week in NYC meeting with press and appearing on various radio stations including Sirius XM, Beatminerz, Bodega Cold Kutz, Classic Storm and RapStation.

The role playing aspect of the concept album is consistent with M.I.’s additional focus on film writing, acting and film production. His new movie “Six2Six” co:starring Treach, Syleena Johnson and Chief Rocker Busy Bee is set for a special screening at this year’s Hip Hop Film Festival, chaired by Ralph McDaniels, taking place the first week of August at NYC’s National Black Theater.
