AUDIO: Bo & Airo – “I”

The duo of bassist Bo Triplex and drummer Airo Kwil, aka Bo & Airo, are becoming a force to be reckoned with in the Milwaukee music scene, and they take that tone on their debut release as a duo, “I”. While the EP is their first release, the duo has made a name for themselves, performing frequently around the city, and in turn, honing their sound. Both artists are solid individually on the microphone, and as musicians, can hang with anyone. When you combine that talent and creativity, you get projects like this one. Whether it’s tough hip hop verses, or funky drum and bass (see “Cupid”), the wide range of skill is on display with “I”. Check out the EP below:

 

AUDIO: Vincent VanGREAT Featuring Bo Triplex – “A Message”

Vincent VanGREAT is back, and as he describes in the first verse of his new track, “A Message”, he’s about to switch gears. The new track, featuring New Age Narcissism / Bo & Airo member Bo Triplex, has a decidedly different sound from most of anything that VanGREAT has put out so far. Rather than opting for straight hip hop, there’s more of a poppy sound, a la artists like N.E.R.D. or “The Love Below” era Outkast. We also get live bass on the production from Triplex, who began his career rapping. Vincent VanGREAT takes the Summerfest stage on July 6th, with an afterparty that night to coincide. Check out the new freshness with “A Message” below:
