2016 marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Constant Deviants’ classic Competition Catch Speed Knots, and the two soldiers of hip hop, MC M.I. and DJ Cutt are upping the ante this year.

They’re following last year’s critically acclaimed “Avant Garde” with the release of another new album “Omerta” on June 28th. The UK’s long running publication Blues & Soul has just afforded it a 4 star review in its new issue (1027) which hit stores’ shelves yesterday. We’re not at liberty to reproduce the entire review here, but it can be read on Page 47 if you pick up a copy from selected stores, or indeed order it worldwide via their official WEBSITE

We have also learned that among the other publications to confirm their intent to feature the release is the globally renowned MOJO Magazine. You will be able to read what they have to say at the time of the album’s release.

His new film “Six2Six” which co:stars Treach (Naughty by Nature), Syleena Johnson and Chief Rocker Busy Bee has been selected by the Hip Hop Film Festival, run by Ralph McDaniels and Julien Lockhart, to be screened in NYC in August.

Omerta-HHK

A year after releasing their highly acclaimed album “Avant Garde”, duo emcee M.I. and DJ Cutt, aka Constant Deviants, return with “Omerta” which drops 28th June on Six2Six Records

Their natural instinct for creativity has developed into the world of movie making in recent years, and they have drawn from their Italian and Russian roots to adopt the roles of Luciano & Lansky in the new themed concept album.

HHK Mag caught up with them early as part of their ongoing “25 Facts” series, where the group discuss more the thinking behind the concept, reveal it is the first time for many years they recorded together in the same studio simultaneously, and perhaps it is due to that extra energy that they have created what they believe to be their best work to date.

The first single from the album was launched two weeks ago. Check the stream for “So Underrated”

They are also working on scheduling a special album release event in NYC in late June
