Weapons of Audio – "Kill My Boss" (prod. Artist Sensey of SMKA)

Weapons of Audio will release their debut album, “BIPOLAR” on [10/21/10]. The album combines electro-pop melodies with hip hop lyricism, representing the bi-polar nature of the duo. With gripping vocals, shredding guitars, and rapid fire raps, brothers Jeremy & Floyd bring a fresh and danceable sound to a music industry of clones.

The first single “Kill My Boss” [produced by Artist Sensey of SMKA] is an anthem for overworked, underpaid, and pissed-off employees everywhere.

“BIPOLAR”
Album Mixed, Engineered and Mastered by Michael O’Connor and Rodney Mills
[Available on iTunes and digital stores on 10/21/10]

BIPOLAR features 10 tracks written and produced by Weapons of Audio with additional production from Artist Sensey of SMKA and Travis Thatcher of Judi Chicago. The Album is mixed, mastered, & engineered by Michael O’Connor and Rodney Mills.

Gilles – "Epitome of Arrogance" (prod. SMKA)

The first official leak from the upcoming project “SUCCESSFULLY LOST.” The song is produced by 808 Blake of SMKA and is a smooth joint featuring the clever rhymes of Gilles. Enjoy

DOWNLOAD HERE


Imagine if “COOL” had a movie…It would probably be starring that dude from the Dos Equis commercials. But we digress. Let’s paint the picture: You pull up to an extravagant, not-so humble abode. There are only a few cars in the driveway and it appears that a young lady has dropped her wallet, perhaps, while hastily making her way through the entrance.
