New York hip hop duo The Underachievers are at work on their debut studio album, set to be released sometime next year via Brainfeeder. In the meantime, check out this stylish, Wrung-produced set of visuals, shot in Paris, for Indigoism cut "Leopard Shepherd."
And a gentle reminder that Indigoism was a pretty sweet tape:
Judging from tracks like "Gold Soul Theory," New York's the Underachievers certainly have style and vision; however, they don't display it on every single track on this new mixtape--which really does feel like a smattering of different sounds and messages. It's the spacier and more spiritual tracks that go over best, and I hope that's the angle that maintains the most strength as these guys work toward their next major project.
The up-and-coming new york hip hop Underachievers have dropped their first tape after a few hyped singles such as "Gold Soul Theory," which is a track that was so impressive it caused Brainfeeder's Flying Lotus to sign these guys right away.
Look for a lot of East Coast hip hop nostalgia on this tape, matched with some modern eccentricities and great production.
