In a hip-hop match-up as heavy as Freddy vs Jason was to horror cinema, Los Angeles emcee’s Mykill Miers and Pawz One have announced a collaborative LP. Double Homicide which drops on October 15th via Below System Records more than lives up to its title. The project is packed with multi-syllabic lyrical barrages and DJ cuts as gritty as the boom-bap backdrops for a journey through the dark underbelly of the city of angels. For a shining example check newly leaked single “Shot For Shot” which pairs the duo up with King Magnetic and cuts by the legendary DJ Rhettmatic (Beat Junkies).
Miers, the self-proclaimed “Hitchcock Of Hip Hop” has been a threat on the mic since the late 90’s, coming up in the same circle as notables including Planet Asia, Dilated Peoples and Phil The Agony. Long Beach, Cali dweller Pawz One has been releasing music for the past decade has been repping hard for the real ish. Speaking on their initial link-up Pawz recalls “I had obviously known of Myk for a while from killing it on the Wake Up Show to all the work he dropped. I was circulating around shows in L.A. a few years back and we ended up on the same bill a few times. We exchanged contact and did a few songs and I felt like it was a combo people would like to hear more from.” Production on the album includes work from Default Beats, Big Bob, Phaisrok, DJ Ray Swift, Science and Miers himself. Turntablists including DJ Merk1200, DJ Breeze, DJ Romes and DJ Fastcut lend their skills and emcees including Ruste Juxx, Mic Handz, Edo.G, El Da Sensei and Buddah guest as well.
