Hailing from North Oakland, California, Main Attrakionz have cultivated one of the most interesting and refreshing sounds in the crowded and fractured world of today’s rap underground. The duo of MondreMAN and Squadda B (who produces as well as rapping) are credited as among of the pioneers of “cloud rap,” combining laid back, smokey bars with a taste for woozy, ethereal production to create a kind of psychedelic hip-hop that drifts as much as it bumps. Main Attrakionz built their fanbase through the tireless output of lo-fi, self-released mixtapes. Now comes the latest installment of their highly acclaimed 808s and Dark Grapes series: 808s and Dark Grapes III is due June 30th via Neil Young’s Vapor Records.
