Mixtape + New Video: Ill Mondo

Ease into the weekend with Ill Mondo‘s mixtape Gentlemen Prefer Blunts Pt. 2, available for free download here.

Gentlemen Prefer Blunts is an homage to the "chopped and screwed" sound of the legendary DJ Screw. The mixtape features funky classics such as Dennis Coffey’s “Scorpio,” but also modern psychedelic rock from the likes of Tame Impala. 

Check out the accompanying video from Ill Mondo’s first 2-part mixtape Be Bad (Pt 1), a 12-minute exploration of funk, hip-hop and soul. Download the EP here.

The Oakland-based production duo will release new album De Novo on August 30, which promises an eclectic combination of influences including old soul and motown records, Radiohead, Michael Jackson and James Brown.
