First Single from Winning Winter + Pre-orders!

18 Jan

Winter is a time of isolated contemplation. Eventually, the weather breaks and we emerge from a frozen state of mind with a colder perspective but a warmer heart. Unless you lost a bet on the Super Bowl like Seez, then you have to dive into three feet of snow wearing nothing but shorts and a tee shirt.

Some of us winning, some of us losing.

Winning Winter is the 5th full-length album from Educated Consumers. After years of being labeled as the most slept on crew in indie-rap, Seez Mics and Jay Bombbeat have created the perfect sound track for your annual hibernation. The duo’s signature style of sample-based beats and introspective lyricism is bolstered by guest appearances from Alpha Consumer’s Jeremy Ylvisaker, beat boxer extraordinaire Max Bent, and MC’s handpicked to reflect a dedication to expansion: Seattle’s Sadistisk, Albany’s Dezmatic and Dood Computer, and Baltimore’s Cubbiebear all lend ammunition to the snowball fight.

Educated Consumers are honored to release “Winning Winter” via Crushkill Recordings, the brainchild of dearly departed friend and hero Micheal Larsen AKA Eyedea.
