	Video: MHz Legacy – "Somewhere" (Prod. By RJD2)	12.13.2012


	"Somewhere" Is One Of Six RJD2-Produced Tracks On MHz Legacy; Album Available For Sale Now Via Man Bites Dog Records

The Video: Last week, MHz Legacy, in conjunction with 2DopeBoyz, Native Instruments, FLüD Watches, and Akomplice Clothing, announced the launch of a producer remix contest. Now, with just less than a week left for submissions, the crew comprised of rappers Copywrite, Tage Future, Jakki Da Motamouth, and Camu Tao, who passed away in 2008, is releasing a video for the album's latest single, "Somewhere." "Somewhere," one of six songs on MHz Legacy produced by long-time in-house producer RJD2, is a song that Copywrite describes as "unpredictable and fun," a vibe that he credits to RJ's beat. "This is a funky and real different beat from RJ," says Copywrite. The video, directed by Dan Gotti, and premiered today by Okayplayer, follows in that same vibe, as the camera catches Copywrite and Tage spending time with their girls. "'Somewhere' is about taking that special lady somewhere," says Copywrite, and Tage agrees, taking the concept a step further. "It's about going somewhere and enjoying it," says Tage, "whether it's physically going somewhere, or mentally."

The Background: For over a decade, the Columbus, Ohio, artists that originally formed to make up MHz, rappers Copywrite, Camu Tao, Tage Future, and Jakki Da Motamouth, along with producer RJD2, have been some of the most influential and revered in the underground scene. But despite their impressive and varied solo careers, to date, the super crew has only released one album, 2001's *Table Scraps, largely a collection of loosies and rare b-sides. MHz suffered a major setback in 2008 when Camu Tao, one of the most quietly influential rappers in the 00s, passed away after a two year battle with lung cancer. In his memory, MHz came back together to re-release Table Scraps* via then upstart hip-hop label Man Bites Dog Records. Since then, MHz has been working on an official group debut and now, having changed their name to MHz Legacy in honor of Camu Tao, the group is proud to release their self-titled album. The album, released October 30th via Man Bites Dog Records, includes features from Danny Brown, Blu, Slug (of Atmosphere), ILL BILL, Slaine, and Oh No, and joining in-house producer RJD2 behind the boards will be Harry Fraud, Marco Polo, Stu Bangas, Illmind, and others. In memory of Camu Tao, the album also features a number of never-before-heard Camu Tao verses from the vaults. About Man Bites Dog Records: Passionate about music and with an ear for discovering great talent, RML formed Man Bites Dog Records in 2005 in Northern Virginia, a few short miles from Washington DC. In an area dominated by GoGo Music, it was the goal of MBDR to offer an avenue for local hip-hop talent. The label quickly grew beyond the confines of the local scene, however, as MBDR began to release project from the likes of Copywrite, Vast Aire, and others. Since then, it has been MBDR's goal to sign artists who create classic music - music that stands the test of time - in genres ranging from underground New York hip-hop to funky pop. Currently, MBDR's roster includes Killah Priest, Copywrite, Vast Aire, MHz Legacy, Jakki da Motamouth, Stu Bangas & Vanderslice, Esoteric, Wais P, Bronze Nazareth, Crimison Gods, Kount Fif, Empuls, Last Bison, Jason Rose, Brink, Red Mud, Sinista Daniro, Dom, Jay Notes, and The Swashbuckler.
