The Lower Class - Wingfield

DO NOT sleep on these cats... don't do it.. you've stumbled upon a new group that truly is doing something fresh and highly dope.. You gettin ready to hear The Lower Class...

Leaning on producer imaGenius's inventive Jazz and soul-infused arrangements, Kartune and Pliny Science kick wildly astute, yet oh so loose rhymes that easily catch your ear and provide a sort of very nostalgic, mid 90's feel...

You won't be disappointed in these new cats.. straight outta San Marcos, Texas of all places...

Mr. Inkredible on the beat work and Statik Selektah on the scratches..

Singles: Hassaan Mackey & Apollo Brown - The Note (Gensu Dean Remix)

Another remix for ya dome pieces... This time Gensu Dean masterfully re-works a joint from the sleeper underground release of the year "Daily Bread" from Hassaan Mackey and Apollo Brown...

Apollo's version was nice, but Gensu has totally given this jawn a brand new feel... slower and pulsating is what the doctor ordered, with a nice, classic sample layered in there if ya listen close...
