Hailing from the streets of Brooklyn, Das Racist is comprised of Himanshu Suri (Heems) and Victor Cazquez (Kool A.D.). They are known for lacing addicting beats with hilariously jarring and (seemingly) nonsensical verses. They first started getting looks in 2008 with their single Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell and rose to blogosphere notoriety with their mixtapes Shut up, Dude and Sit Down, Man.
Heems on Das Racist's style:
"We're not making music that's instantly appealing. We dabble with nonsequiturs, dadaism, repetition - repetition. We make dance music while talking about not-dancey things. We say things that on the surface can seem pretty dumb; it's a mask...for actual discontent with a lot of shit in the world."
What inspired this feature - their latest track.
And the jam that started it all:
