Altered Zones

Not The 1s is the latest project generated, at least in part, by Eric Steuer, an honest to God hip-hop intellectual and lo-fi rapper of the culturally sensitive type. The group's debut, Why You Cryin', is a massive cross country collaboration that has Eric Steuer (Cuzzo) and Alex Christidis (Mawnstr) presiding over a promising list of contributors like Daedelus, dEbruit, and Monster Rally. Eric and Alex's first tune, "You Dress Like An Asshole," is a hilarious diss of badly dressed Jersey bros and cultural illiteracy, animated by some deep beats and sharp production work by Lunice. --Dwight Pavlovic, Get Off The Coast

Why You Cryin? is nearly finished, but in the meantime funds are being raised on kickstarter for a June release with Gold Robot Records.
