MUGGS & GZA: 9th/13th May.

DJ Muggs and GZA/GENIUS bring their sonic force to Australia in May to promote their critically acclaimed ‘Grandmasters’ release. Joining them will be underground legends Self Scientific, DJ Solo (Soul Assassins) and local turntablist DJ Def Rok (SYD). This is a line up to make any self respecting hip hop fiend’s mouth water. AREA 38 have put together a group of artists who are guaranteed to bring a neck-snapping onslaught to the audiences of Perth, Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne.

No one who has a passion for hip hop is unaffected by these two colossal talents: they have been providing the soundtrack to the lives of many people for years. Muggs’ eerie and heavy bass driven beats for Cypress Hill are legendary, while the GZA is widely regarded as the most lyrically gifted of the Wu Tang Clan – a collective responsible for the hip hop education of millions.

This will be a live collaboration performance that combines the sounds of two of the biggest groups in hip hop history, a show that includes both new and old school. In addition to playing their Grandmasters material, Muggs will be slashing up a Cypress Hill set on the decks, and GZA will also be performing Wu Tang hits and spitting lyrics from his solo LP’s.

Joining the Grandmasters on the bill is underground duo, Self Scientific. Chace Infinite and DJ Khalil have received high praise from many well respected sources: JIVE Magazine gave their album, ‘Change’ 5 out of 5. Okayplayer.com heaped praise on the duo, describing them as “intelligent brothers making smart beats”, whose album “is simply great.”

Also included in the line up is DJ Solo, Soul Assassins remix maestro. Solo is label mate to the likes of DJ Muggs, Self Scientific, Mitchy Slick (Strong Arm Steady) and DJ Warrior on Angeles Records.
