The Song:
With their recent mixtape, Platinum, now available for free download, and their much anticipated album, Diamond, still a few months away, Constant Deviants, the duo of rapper M.I. and producer DJ Cutt, are holding fans over with a handful of original, non-album tracks. Today, serving as the latest leak since the video for "Fulton Street," is "Hayter."
For a song given away to fans as a loosie, the track sounds like it could be a lead single. M.I.'s warm vocals blend easily atop the introspective production of DJ Cutt, building a timeless vibe, while delivering a track that creatively addresses jealousy and envy. “As far as 'Hayter' goes, the inspiration came after we sat back listening to the original song," explains DJ Cutt. "The vocal sample sounded like he was saying hater, although he's actually not, so we used that as the basis for the song."

The
Background:
In the world of hip-hop, a name carries the weight of an entire career. It's the brand, the logo, but most importantly the mission of the group. For Constant Deviants, it's a title that has grown with them over time: constantly changing, departing from the norm. Forming their own imprint SIX2SIX Records in 2009, the group consists of the traditional MC and DJ combination with M.I. (Mr. Impossible) on the microphone and D.J. CUTT behind the tables and beats. With their sights currrently set on the 2012 release of their newest project Diamond, the Deviants are preparing fans for the unheralded return of real rap music with the album's precursor, entitled Platinum: The Mixtape, available now for free download via Bandcamp.
