The Song:

Next week, on October 30th, MHz Legacy will release their new, self-titled album via Man Bites Dog Records. Today, MHz Legacy is releasing the album's latest single, "Satisfied," a track produced by RJD2 that features Slug of the group Atmosphere.

Excitedly, "Satisfied," which was premiered today by MTV Hive, is one of six songs from MHz Legacy that reunites the crew with longtime producer RJD2. The track, a beat that RJD2 refers to as having a "mellow, kinda slow-roller vibe," serves as the perfect foundation for the track's guest, Slug of the beloved hip-hop group Atmosphere, who delivers the track's first verse. "Slug brings honesty," says Copywrite, while RJD2 notes that Slug inspired the driving motif of the track. "He brings a nice, laid back style," says RJ.

The group, honoring fallen member Camu Tao who passed away in 2008 after battling lung cancer, continues his legacy with RJD2 on the beats and Copywrite on the mic. The release from Man Bites Dog Records features many of hip-hop's finest rappers and producers and the latest single, "Satisfied," features Slug (of Atmosphere) and is produced by RJD2.

Copywrite's verse, which shows up second on the track, continues to show off the range that the group possesses, proving "Satisfied" to be one of the most playful records on the album. With his verse, Copy even pays tribute to De La Soul's 1991 "Ring Ring Ring (Ha Ha Hey)" single. "I chose to pay homage to De La because they're my favorite rap group," says Copywrite. "The song is playful, just like De La is, a very Bill-Murray-in-Ghostbusters 1 vibe."

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 prepping the release of their self-titled album. The album, being 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 will also feature 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.
