Whenever cats talk about the recent resurgence and re-establishment of NYC Hip Hop as the driving force of the movement (as it should be), the name Meyhem Lauren is NEVER left out. Hailin' from the borough of Queens, this die hard Lo-Life vet made his first MC appearance on J-Love's (Ghostface's long-serving tour DJ) "King of What I Do Part 6" 2004 mixtape. Most of you Herring cats will need little introduction to Mey, but for those that don't know (the shame!), he featured on last summer's Chopped Herring Records release 'Welcome to the Great Outdoors EP' alongside his homeboys Action Bronson and Shaz Illyork. That was the first and ONLY vinyl release from those Queens' natives and this limited edition EP is the second.
Meyhem is most definitely on his way up. As well as gettin mad love on a host of NYC radio shows including NYU Halftime Show, Rap is Outta Control, Industry Shakedown, Sirius Satellite Wax 40 Pure Amazement Show and many more, he has featured on recent projects with Action Bronson, Roc Marciano, Sean Price, Thirstin Howl III, Maffew Ragazino among others and has been headlining and rockin venues all over the North East and NYC.
Also included on the LIMITED VINYL ONLY EP is the underground Hip Hop internet banger 'Ray Lewis' featuring fellow Outdoorsmen crew members Action Bronson and AG Da Coroner, the PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED bomb 'Total Meyhem' and the PF Cuttin (Blahzay Blahzay) produced future NYC Anthem 'NY Where Ya At!?'.
Meyhem Lauren currently features on the Action Bronson and Statik Selektah album 'Well Done' and has a full length album in the pipeline with said Action Bronson and an album droppin in 2012 produced by legendary DITC producer Buckwild. |
