Red Hand Akimbo - Paris Texas

LA based rap duo ParisTexas dropped their latest EP Red Hand Akimbo. Production ranging from 80’s punk rock to hip hop with punching fuzzy word vomiting that establishes the duo’s genre bending efforts. 

Escorted by grinding guitars and intensifying vocal hollowing, the duo holds no punches with their follow up to their debut BOY ANONYMOUS released six months ago. Building off of their rock appreciation from the previous work , the energy doesn’t die. Red Hand Akimbo is an refreshing approach to hip hop and embraces shapeshifting genres with songs like “BULLSEYE” , co-produced by Kenny Beats. This track goes from rock to Lofi rap with grace. There pieces of their sound that resembles N.E.R.D, especially on “girls like drugs.” The striking guitar in the beginning feels nostalgic to “rockstar.” 

The 5-track EP ends with a spooky epilogue that pokes fun at Cardi B’s summer smash “Up,” highlighting the duos effort of having fun while creating denser art. ParisTexas will soon be household names , tap in while it’s still early!
