ABOUT THE OTHER GUYS:

Mighty Joe & Isaiah “Insanate” Mensah are the alternative hip hop group The Other Guys, and yes before you ask, their name predates the Will Ferrell movie. The two musicians are both cousins and hail from the Washington, DC area. The Other Guys began producing together back in 2006. They have produced for and worked with artist such as Homeboy Sandman, Substantial,Tanya Morgan, Sadat X (Brand Nubian), yU, and Fresh Daily.

In 2012, The Other Guys walked away from panhandling beats to underground artist, and began releasing their own EPs independently. “The Other Album” which they released in 2012 was received with critical acclaim. Their Instrumental project “The Week EP” was rated as one of the Top 25 Instrumental Projects of 2013 by DEADENDHIPHOP.

Utilizing an eclectic assortment of samples, live drums, analog keyboards, and discussing “everyday man” issues, The Other Guys’ music is a testament to what hip-hop music used to be, as well as what it could be.

[MUSIC] Substantial ft. yU – Movin’ Alright (prod. Oddisee)

Free Download: BANDCAMP

Earlier this year, Substantial showed the world thatHome Is Where The Art Is and for this particular MC the art is deep in The DMV. The Mello Music Group LP was a breath of fresh air in a stale climate.

Not one to rest on his laurels, Substantial has been hitting the road in support of HIWTAI with his MMG and DMV brethren yU. The run is nearing its end with pivotal stops in Brooklyn and Baltimore coming up this weekend. In celebration of the live demonstration, and as a sneak peek of what you can expect from the two fierce rhymers, Substantial is leaking, “Movin’ Alright.” A bonus cut from the HIWTAI sessions, this Oddisee-produced, high-energy banger features Sub’s current road dog, yU.

Brooklyn, be sure to check out this fine brand of hip-hop this Friday at 3rdEye(Sol)ation Art Gallery. The tour finale will be a hometown show in Baltimore, Peju’s Lounge to be exact. Home Is Where The Art Is is available everywhere now.
