the 8485


Every once and a while there is a band that comes along, and you listen to them, and love the sound, a sound that reminds you of something. In this case the sound that 8485 cultivates calls on classic hip-hop, the beats make me feel like I am in middle school. Making the sound modern are the electronic blips and hums under the tracks. This is what makes the 8485 old school - new school. Then I look at the pictures of the boys behind the music, and there is a huge discrepency. They look like two of the nicest, sweetest boys, the kind that would say please and thank you, yet they are the minds behind some of the dirtiest sounding tracks. Once these boys get their image figured out, perhaps a stylist out there wouldn't mind lending them a hand, they will be on their way. The music is too good to ignore, so check it out and watch the transformation take place as the 8485 explode.

WRAP IT UP:
Hot Track(s): Forty and a Fistfight, Don't Worry Hell Below
Kind of Like: MSTRKRFT teams up with a lighter Bubba Sparxxx who is less obsessed with booty.

PREDICTION:
A solid following and perhaps even a juno nod. Great club and party tracks that will make their way around North America.
