Fresh on the heels of Man Mantis’ album with singer/songwriter K.Raydio and the debut of Laduma Nguyuza’s long-awaited Billie James Project, the duo has reunited to bring you a taste of the next STINK TANK record.
Check out NSF(NE1):
The digi-single includes, as mandated by tradition, the full track, an instrumental and the acapella. Any of you producers out there are encouraged to get your remix on and send the results to submissions@worldaroundrecords.com — the release will evolve to include multiple versions over time.
In other Madison news, Mantis has some super-fresh new stickers available, which he’s including with all purchases of any STINK TANK, dumate or Star Persons CD/shirt. The dopest part? Send him a photo of any sticker you spot in the wild, and he’ll hook you up with an exclusive, unreleased b-side from his upcoming solo album, Cities Without Houses.
There’s still a veritable smörgåsbord of new stuff on the horizon. Stay tuned, kids.

That’s right — hometown favorites dumate stole the show last night at the 2010 Madison Area Music Awards. On top of rocking a stellar performance that netted them props from Madison’s local rag, The Isthmus, they also took home Urban/R&B Album of the Year for their sophomore release (and WA debut) We Have the Technology.
If you haven’t had a chance to check out the album, take a minute to see what the fuss is all about. We can guarantee with almost 100% certainty that you’ll love what you hear.

Never one for dormancy, Man Mantis hit us off with his directorial debut today: a music video for “Infirmary,” the lead-off track from his upcoming collaborative project with DLO entitled IceMantis. As if this combination wasn’t potent enough, they’ve also tagged fellow dumate emcee and STINK TANK™ mastermind Dudu Stinks for one of his premium verses, and the resulting track is dope as hell.
Check out the video below, leave some love for Mantis on YouTube, and be sure to keep watching for more updates on the IceMantis project.
