M.A.S.K. (Making Art Sound Kool) was the first official release from the Waco, Texas trio, Strange Fruit Project, in over 3 years. After a few months they released the acappellas & instrumentals for all the producers and DJ’s of the world. Brazil took notice. Laudz, an up & coming producer representing Curitiba, Brazil, was inspired to add his touch to the group’s release. The remix EP showcases his knack for infectious melodies and larger than life production. There is no doubt Laudz took these acappellas and made them his own.  As a member of the Elementality family, Laudz has produced tracks for artists like Silent Knight, MadKem & M. Josephine as part of DJ K.O.’s Living Out A State of Mind EP series. Shout out to KupiArt on the design.

We posted a leak from this project last week and if that track told us anything, it’s that Strange Fruit Project hasn’t missed a step. And we have faith that they filled this EP (Making Art Sound Kool) with tracks just as good if not better than what we’ve already heard. It features several guests, such as songstress Thesis, and it acts a prelude to a full-length SFP album coming in 2010. Check it out and, per usual, let us know what you think.

I have been waiting for SFP to drop some newness for quite some time now, and today they deliver! The first single off their free EP, M.A.S.K. (Making Art Sound Kool), which will be dropping November 17th. The EP features an insane list of producers including S1, 9th Wonder, Caleb and Picnic. If this news does get you excited, something is seriously wrong with you. Check out the single and get hyped!
