FOREIGN BEGGARS – FLYING TO MARS ft. DONAE’O (PROD. ALIX PEREZ)
(MAU5TRAP)
*‘The Uprising’ LP due for release in August*

Foreign Beggars dropped the first taste of their forthcoming album for mau5trap last month to widespread praise. The infectiously brazen swagger of ‘Palm Of My Hand’ was a bold statement of intent, and one which they are set to firmly substantiate with their next offering. Teaming up with once again with previous collaborator and revered producer Alix Perez as well as recruiting a guest appearance from multi-talented vocalist Donae’o, the boys clearly aren’t wasting any time and remain intent on upping the stakes further still as they unleash ‘Flying To Mars’.

Tuned in to a deeper but no less hard hitting frequency, ‘Flying To Mars’ finds them wiring their razor sharp rhymes to the otherworldly terrain of Perez’s production. Built on waves of deep sub bass undulations and skittering hi hats, the expansive production provides a blank canvas for Beggars to direct the mood of the track. Donae’o’s soft, reflective chorus acts as jumping off point for Orifice Vulgatron and Metropolis to swap verses, dexterously exploring themes of altered states of consciousness. The group, individually known as Orifice Vulgatron, Metropolis and DJ Nonames, have built a revered reputation over the last decade for their versatility, prolific creativity and high octane live shows Having successfully changed the face of UK hip hop, Foreign Beggars’ more recent output has seen them up the ante with a genre defying blend of upfront sounds and collaborating with some of the most exciting producers around. Their last ‘The Harder They Fall’ EP on Never Say Die last year saw them working with Alix Perez, Mensah and Skrillex to name just a few. Now as they sign to mau5trap and with their brand new album ‘The Uprising’ slated for release at the end of July, they are opening the next chapter in their story.
