I can already predict what everyone will say when they get a hold of this record-- hipster ghetto-tech punks need to put a sag in their skinny jeans-- but that gimmick is old and doesn't even apply to this Seattle, WA based duo consisting of two extremely talented Michigan natives in producer P-Smoov and MC Rik Rude.
Their debut record, Glamour, features 14-tracks glazed with surreal spaced out samples, bugged out bass driven beats, and party plastered poetics that will immediately put Fresh Espresso in your "groups to watch out for now and in the future" folder.
P-Smoov and Rik Rude have seem to master what groups like The Knux failed miserably at, which is modernizing party hip hop and making it friendly to a wide variety of music fans while remaining genuine. What the Knux and and many other pseudo-hipster groups lack in authenticity, Fresh Espresso make up for with their keen ability to produce believable, infectious party tunes that never lack substance.
Below are two sample tunes from their come-out-of-nowhere record that should be on everyone's weekend playlist. Glamour is available now via CDBaby and other online retailers.
