FECKIN WEIRDO: Nnamdi's spectral adventures through a pubulous conundrum, canceling out the burrowing burden and ambiguity of his pre​-​zuberant tooth shine.

Nnamdi makes weird rap. He is/was in a zillion bands in Chicago. This is his new video. This is his new album.

"The Sound of Young America"

I don't know if this record is out yet, but all the songs are recorded and online. I'm close friends with three of these bands, so I'm really stoked on this release even though I think the name is lame as hell. The four way split consists of Itto, Innards, Calculator, and Capacities. Flannel Gurl is putting this joint out, so stream it and then buy it.

The Sooper Swag Project

The Sooper Swag Project is a rap / hip hop group from Chicago that my bud Nnamdi is a part of. I don't think I know / met any of the other dudes who are involved, but it does not matter because this shit is fucking ill. This first Sooper Swag thing that I ever heard, even though it isn't really technically one of their songs was this:

Basically, Sooper Swag Project is hilarious, hella tight hip hop made by goof balls who are stupid good at making music. I mean, again, I don't know the other guys but Nnamdi makes hella videos like this one:

So obviously the dudes a goof and I would imagine his homies are on his level though. Check out his youtube channel for a bunch of videos.  SSP is a little more "serious", but I mean its still somewhat silly. Experi-Swag.

I'm really tired because I worked today and I haven't done anything manly since like January when I moved some wood down a flight of stairs so this little boy man needs a nap. But, download all the shit that is below. There are two Sooper releases plus a lil single or something, and then I also have the album of one of the other dudes who is in the group. It's all really good, swagged out or whatever, and worth your time. So check  it all out and have some fun. Swerp. Word.

My Dad

I'm listening to My Dad for the first time right now. Well, I mean, I'm like halfway through the album, and I listened to some rando tracks the other day, but I'm going through the whole thing for the first time right now. I can't sleep again.

I know two of the dudes in the band, Nnamdi and Dave. I met them both this summer on tour with Itto. Nnamdi plays drums in that band, and Dave came along for the Michigan shows. Shit was cool. Dave has a really dope stick and poke of Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys. Word, right? I looked up pictures of the band and the bassist looks super familiar to me, so I feel like I met him this summer but I can't remember and feel kinda dickish.

Anywho, this shit is dope. Its like post-math rock, if thats a thing. I mean its like there are kind of mathy parts here and there, but then there are spacey parts with verbed out guitar and shit. Its not a weird band, per ce, but it almost is. Its mathy enough to obviously be from Chicago, but not enough to be written off as just another math band. Same goes for the posty parts, and the chill parts too. They transcend genres, is what I am getting at. Oh, and they have two drummers, although I honestly couldn't tell until I looked at pictures.

Dave only gave me this one album, Stunts, so I'm guessing this is all they have out. Maybe there is more, but I can't find it, granted I didn't look really hard. On a side note I'm on a song right now where I can totally tell there are two drummers, and the bass riff is really heavy here too. But yeah, the dudes are going on a lil tour coming up, and then are doing another tour later on, so check that shit out if you like this band, which I generally hope you do. Dave is Chicago's hottest promoter right now, so if your band or whatever is trying to play in the windy city get at this band and he will hook it up. I guarantee it. I looked for a video but all I found was Rush and Luther Vandross, so I guess thats not too bad. Check out the homies, download the homies, support the homies. Swerp. Word.

Stunts

Ittō

Ittō are a techy hardcore band from Chicago. They sound kind of like Capsule, but not as crazy heavy. One of the dudes was in The Para-Medics, and I'm pretty sure one of the other guys was in another dope band from Chicago but I'm not sure. Anyways, this shit slays, and mnwa is going to be doing a lil mini tour with these guys from Allston to Chicago, which makes me stupid stoked. Download their EP thingy below.
