Grandmilly & Shozae will release new album ‘Adventureland’ this August (8/24) via Stones Throw Records. Today, they share the new video for “Cyber Tech Suits”.
Grandmilly, a Long Island based rapper formerly of RVIDXR KLVN (aka Raider Klan), has been quietly yet consistently putting out quality projects since 2012– most notably an EP with Bones and a 2015 LP with SageInfinite. Shozae, a producer who is part of Long Island’s Midnite Society, has been a close collaborator of Grandmilly for years.
The new album’s title, ‘Adventureland’ is a nod to a beloved Long Island amusement park as well as the various hip-hop vibes found throughout the LP. Says Shozae, “Every song takes you on a different ride and we take a lot a pride in coming from Long Island. We decided to roll with those two ideas, so it’s us taking you on an adventure through the land we are from.”
The duo draw inspiration from classic 90s R&B and hip-hop greats (Mary J Blige, Blackstreet, Wu-Tang), to funk legends (George Clinton + Parliament Funkadelic), as well as growing up singing rhythm & blues in church.
The duo will play NYC this fall celebrating the new release, details to come.
