The Remixes:

MHz Legacy, in conjunction with their label, Man Bites Dog Records, is excited to announce the winners for their Yellow + Blue Producer Remix Contest. The grand prize winner, taking home a unique song recorded by MHz Legacy, a MASCHINE Mikro MK2 from Native Instruments, and a watch courtesy of FLUD Watches, is Psymun. The first runner-up for the contest, winning a watch courtesy of FLUD Watches and clothing courtesy of Akomplice Clothing, is Melvin Junko, and the second runner-up, winning a watch courtesy of FLUD Watches and back catalog courtesy of Man Bites Dog Records, is SenturyStatus.

In December, MHz Legacy, announced the Yellow + Blue Producer Remix Contest. Presented in conjunction with 2DopeBoyz, Native Instruments, FLUD Watches, Akomplice Clothing, Audible Treats, and MHz Legacy's label, Man Bites Dog Records, the contest gave aspiring producers the opportunity to remix "Yellow + Blue," the Blu-featuring standout track from MHz' recent album, MHz Legacy. Over the two weeks in which the contest ran, MHz Legacy received over 200 total submissions, with entries coming from all over the world, including multiple continents. "I really appreciated the number of submissions we received for the contest -- there were hundreds we had to listen to!" notes Tage Future, who, with the rest of the group, judged each individual entry. "The winning submissions needed to be dope, and they needed to move me. There was a lot of strong competition in the mix, and we had fun going through the selection process."

One thing that stands out in particular about each of the winning remix submissions is how different they are, not only from each other but also from the original, something that, according to Copywrite, was an important aspect of the overall judgement process. "I didn't want any of the remixes to have the same vibe as the original," notes Copywrite. "To me, a great remix creates a completely different vibe from its original but still fits 100%. 'Yellow + Blue' is my favorite song on the MHz Legacy album, and we appreciate everybody who took the time out to remix our song."

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.
