Duck Mother F*ckers

The duo of Yea Big and Kid Static hail from Chicago, IL, one of my favorite new musical breeding grounds as of late. Their catchy electronic beats and ridiculous rhymes make for a listening experience unlike any you've ever had. After getting over the inevitable head-scratching, wondering what exactly to call this grab-bag of musical construction, you can appreciate the group for the lyrical stylists they are. A couple of rappers with a conscience; guys who realize hip-hop culture can be more than derogatory flows about women, cars, and money. Often times their music reminds me of Tim Fite or Rhymefest, both politically conscious rappers who are able to craft powerful prose into poetry.

From their MySpace Page:
Yea Big + Kid Static is hip hop for the stationarily challenged, the soundtrack for your next dance-off, the preamble to next your coup. Yea Big + Kid Static will overcome you like a band of parkour ninjas wearing jet packs leaping over your grandmother's privacy fence to steal a pie. Yea Big + Kid Static are one part short shorts, one part cybernetic organism, all parts awesome. Yea Big + Kid Static are a comic book style action figure for all ages, ready to destroy the plastic casing and blow up the spot with the power and skill of 47 stuntmen wearing mylar battle gear. Be prepared to duck.

Lyrics I Love (Run To The Facts [Mae-Shi Mash Up])

lost all control now you're trapped in shame
the claims you report won't hold up in court
facts need life support because they come up short
for every fact you know you got a swift retort...
toss logic to the ring like that shits a sport
sweat soaking through your shirt like you lost a quart...
cant remember every time you made the truth distort

Yea Big + Kid Static - Run To The Facts [Mae-Shi Mash Up]
Yea Big + Kid Static - Duck Mother Fuckers!
