Do you hear that? In the distance... no? It's the sound of one hand clapping for Brooklyn's new hott rap bitches Butch & Bellie. Soon it'll be two hands clapping like this: clap clap yay yay! Then, before you know it, they'll be the toast of the town making everyone get down and turning frowns upside down. Yo, believe me when I say that. The buzz just recently got going with them playing Beg Yr Pardon #11 and getting featured on Junk Magazine's site but you already knew about them because of those things, right? No? Okay, fine then. Allow me to introduce Butch & Bellie.
On their MySpace page Butch & Bellie explain: "we are an extremely talented homosexual rap duo - raised in the oppressive suburban enclaves in close proximity to the metropolitan areas known as BALTIMORE and BOSTON." That's perfect. What better environment than oppressive suburban enclaves to foster the growth of musical minds? What better inspiration for the spitting of venomous rhymes? In a genre where lifestyle, beats, and fashion have become boringly predictable, what better way to give underground hip hop a little bite on the cheek than with a couple of openly gay MCs?
It seems I can't stop asking questions, and all you want are answers. Fine. Butch & Bellie kick it old school with a new school flair. They've obviously absorbed the work of early Beastie Boys, Del tha Funkee Homosapien, and Slick Rick and they know the importance of fixing their rhymes and beats up all perfectly so as to inspire smiles and dancing. My guess is that's exactly what'll happen to you wherever you are when you kick out their jams "Prayer Warrior" and "Butch and Bellie". Instant partyfuntime. And, can I just mention that I LOVE the "whoa" reaction from Butch (I think) right after the first "Have A Cigar" sample kicks in in "Prayer Warrior"? Yes, okay I mentioned it. That's all. Listen, enjoy, see them live.
