The brooklyn based production duo who are currently featured in this months issue of The Source Magazine (Ear to the Stree: Surround Sound) released not only Blue Chips 2 with rapper Action Bronson ( ranked #3 on our The Source Presents: The 25 Best Mixtapes of 2013 ) but also their debut dance music album Tough Love released through indie powerhouse Fool’s Gold Records. Well it seems they are not slowing down one bit, in a recent interview with HipHopDX half of the duo Justin Neals discusses the upcoming plan for a collaborative EP wtih Party Supplies, Action Bronson & The Alchemist titled Jericho . Check out some excerpts below, or the full interview here
“We went out to LA with [Bronson] last month—me, him, Alchemist, and Sean recorded an entire EP of material under the name Jericho,” Nealis said. “Jericho may be a project that we drop, that’s really under-the-table, no one knows about that yet. Jericho may just be like a multi-genre, no label EP that may cross genres from Hip Hop to Electro to ‘80s Pop. We may bridge the gap with that actually, because some of the stuff we recorded for that, one of the songs sounds like a late ‘80s Smokey Robinson record and shit. And then, there’s some Surf Rock on there that sounds like the Beach Boys and Bronson’s rhyming on it. Alchemist made the beat. We rented pianos and keyboards. We rented a Wurlitzer, we rented a bass, we rented a few guitars and shit. We recorded a lot of original material that kind of has a very Electro sound and we’re calling it Jericho”
Update: Per XXL
Action Bronson has weighed in on the idea of the EP, mentioning that other people like Oh No & Tommy Maas are also involved
“It’s nothing official. It’s a collective a people—Oh No, Sean [Mahon] who is also in Party Supplies, Tommy Mas. It’s just a collective of people of human beings that make music. Something is gonna come out of it and it’s probably not going to be rap. It’s probably going to be some next level shit. We are in there with all kinds of instruments, fucking frog percussions and shit. Yeah, I’m on the frog percussions! When you hear it, it’s me.,”
