THE CATARACS

This past Thurs (Mar. 4), my buddy Jon Foreman of www.tighthelluv.com introduced me to a technohop duo from the Bay called, The Cataracs. Foreman invited me and Trey Billie to join him for an art/music event at the Vanguard in Hollywood and since I hadn't seen him or Trey in quite a while, I was on my way. The fact that a good amount of artists that were showcasing at the event were from the Bay didn't hinder my interest either. :) Needless to say, the DJ's were off the hook! Especially Jon's friend, DJ Havoc, who transitioned down to LA from the city recently. After a few beers, the three of us headed out to parking lot to call it a night where we got a chance to talk to some guy named Cyrano from this group called 'The Cataracs'. Friends/Collaborators with DJ Havoc & an artist named Bobby Brackins (one of Trey's boys), Cyrano was instantly on the A-List as far as we were concerned. I heard their song, 'Bass Down Low' on the Power 106 recently and was hooked. Getting a chance to touch base with him and let him know that we're spreading the word about The Catarac movement was a great opportunity. He is a genuinely cool dude and obviously very talented. So we exchanged emails and now the Mahfia production crew is going to shoot a docu of their upcoming show this weekend in Oakland at 'The New Parish'. Needless to say, we're all VERY stoked to work with these guys. We love their music, love their beats, and can't wait to make some cool shi* for all of our crews. They're goofy, but super sick. Can't wait to help them blow up their movement. Here's some of their stuff:
