Stu Bangas & Vanderslice Continue Strong Production Streak; Outerspace Preps New Album
The Song:
Earlier this year, production duo Stu Bangas & Vanderslice released their album Diggaz With Attitude, a project chock-full of heavy, dark production and some of the underground's most talented lyricists and artists. One of those artists featured was Outerspace, the Philly-repping duo of rappers Planetary and Crypt the Warchild, and longtime collaborators with Stu Bangas & Vanderslice. Now, Outerspace is prepping their own new album, Lost In Space, and Stu Bangas has once again joined forces with Outerspace for the duo's latest single, "Manolo."
"Manolo" is built around Stu Bangas' production, a track that is best described as, simply, "epic," a combination of back-beating drums, menacing vocal chops, creeping synths, and rattling bass. Planetary and Crypt meet the track's energy in full force, the track reaching its apex at the song's forceful hook. "Stu sent us the beat, we heard it, and that's all she wrote," says Planetary of the track, while both rappers make note that the track, in all of its splendid grittiness, is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. "Raw rhymes, raw hook, raw beat," says Crypt of the track, with Planetary adding, "When you think of Outerspace, this is what you want to hear, no doubt."

Background:
Lurking in the dark shadows, with the things that creep in the night, the Brutal Music team of Stu Bangas & Vanderslice work to create their musical madness. Vanderslice, who has long since been a "digger" for the stars and Stu Bangas, who has been a big part of Boston's recently burgeoning hip-hop scene, first came together to produce the now-acclaimed Blaq Poet Society, an album with Screwball MC Blaq Poet. In the process, the production duo joined forces with indie label Man Bites Dog Records, and are now prepping their latest project, Diggaz With Attitude, or D.W.A. for short. Individually, Stu Bangas & Vanderslice have produced for a who's-who of underground favorites, a list that includes Sean Price, Apathy, Vinnie Paz, Ill Bill, Copywrite, and Heltah Skeltah, among others. For D.W.A., Stu & Vanderslice enlisted a number of those same artists, in addition to Roc Marciano, The Alchemist, Evidence, and more. Diggaz With Attitude will be released August 28, 2012 via Man Bites Dog Records.
