Headhunters On Plug:

For those unaware it all started out when Black Spade moved to the west and met fellow producer Proh Mic at the Do-Over in LA. They hit it off from the bat and soon brought in I,Ced. Ced was living in Hawthorne California at the time thus the Hawthorne Headhunters collective were born. When Coultrain also joined, the group released their debut EP in 2009 with HVW8. Along the way a lot has changed and Proh Mic and Ced decided to go their own way and persue a solo career. Black Spade and Coultrain recorded their “Myriad of Now” album which will be released next year on Plug Research and has lots of elements of hip hop, soul, funk, pop and electronic influences. It speaks on spirituality, sexuality and everything in between. You might remember us posting “Teleport” of of the “If You Were My Baby” single. Next up is their fresh 5-track EP which is available on as of today.

Hawthorne Headhunters are Stoney Rock (perhaps better known as Black Spade), Ced No and Proh Mic . I can’t remember when I first heard from the HHH, all I know is that we posted their single “She Wanna” a long time ago..so if you slept on that..here is a free download. The second track “Get Up” won’t be on the EP, and will probably be featured on the Kenny Fresh HHH tape.  Their upcoming EP will be released on HVW8 on July 27th.

Big homie Kenny Fresh just hooked us up with some brand new Hawthorne Headhunters music and you gotta love it. For those who don’t know HH…the trio exists of Black Spade, I, CED (or Ced No) and Proh Mic.

The possitively sounding “Never Give Up” – which co-stars vocals from Coultrain - is an unreleased outtake from the same 2007 sessions that the group’s forthcoming debut EP was pulled from. This will be their very first release being put out by HVW8 on June 20th.

The soulful “Get Up!” has been in my top ten ‘on repeat’ tracks for a while now and “PCM” with Dam Funk is epic! Keep your ears out for a Fresh Selects mixtape from the Hunters before their EP drops. This should keep you satisfied untill then.
