Hello all, much has been brewing in the tomb of our former glory and I’m eager to share the news.

Heems and Dap will be performing music and engaging in meaningful discussions with our homie Eddie Huang at the Greene Space tomorrow (1/31) for WNYC Soundcheck. Come through for “an afternoon of food, music and conversation about embracing cultural mashups and defying stereotypes — musical or otherwise — facing first-generation Americans.”

You can read more about it and buy tickets here. Oh, enter SOUNDCHECK as a promo code and get $5 off.

These are the BRAND NEW Das Racist x Mishka “RELAX” snapbacks, several months in the making. The front logo is the same as the one on our album, designed by KOOL A.D. and colored in a gorgeous OCEANIC blue. The joint on the side was drawn in 2002 by our friend Roni Uddin and was printed on a limited edition run of 50 shirts, only one of which we managed to sell.
