Mr. Lif & Stu Bangas – Vangarde [album]
Underground rap legend Mr. Lif teams up with fellow Bostonian Stu Bangas for this new collab. Mr. Lif came up through his work with El-P and the mythical Definitive Jux label and has continued to release critically acclaimed releases and collaborations, partnering with names like Edan and Akrobatik, as well as Thievery Corporation, Murs, and Def Jux alum like Aesop Rock and El-P. Along with his own projects, Stu Bangas’ productions and beats have accompanied names like ILL BILL, Heltah Skeltah, Blaq Poet, Vinnie Paz, Army of the Pharaohs, Sean Price, and many more. Fans of the aforementioned will not be disappointed here, with the duo delivering politically charged missives atop the cinematic and often dark, beat-driven productions.
