Supreme Cuts Pull Back The Curtain On Their Next Mixtape
The Chicago duo Supreme Cuts are travelers from a world where Mannie Fresh, Missy Elliot, and Timbaland never fell out of R&B graces. In this world Missy Elliot gets down on some high tea with Phillip Glass and Stephen Hawking on the first Tuesday of every month. Today Supreme Cuts slipped a new audio artifact named Gully featuring rapper Haleek Maul out of their four-dimensional spacetime printer.
"Gully" starts with the sounds of future machinery performing an ode to every stabbing in Game of Thrones. Menace and dystopia collide as Barbatos via Brooklyn rapper Haleek Maul growls "Judas, Jesus, Peter cannot save me / girl just give me head / I am not a person I am just verses stuck in your head". "Gully" isn't all dirge and din. Hidden beneath the haze is a silicon earworm that'll have you holding Haleek's lyrics back on public transportation adventures.
Supreme Cuts's Chrome Lips mixtape featuring more tracks with Haleek Maul is out in June as a collaboration between NYC labels Dovecote and Mishka. Haleek Maul has a EP titled Oxycoteen out June 14th on Merok records. As a reward for getting to the bottom of the article lets slip a secret wizard track by Haleek Maul with production by Clams Casino for fellow travelers of the astral plane at the bottom of the post here.
