Flashmen made a big splash at this year’s SXSW and the internet hasn’t stopped talking about them since! The duo explained that they met due to circumstance while stuck in West Lafayette, Indiana. It was a cliched “‘two dudes wanting to do cool shit stuck in the same small town’ movies situation” they quipped.
Ironically it wasn’t until the duo both moved to different major cities, New York City and Chicago, that they began to collaborate on the Flashmen project. Now they typically spend a month or two passing tracks back and forth over the internet before they consider it ready for your ears.
We were thrilled and honored when they asked us to premiere their new track and their first mix tape! Give it a listen and let us know what you think!
