MC Eiht and MONTAGE ØNE hit the streets together in the new video for Team Demo’s “Creep,” a funky West Coast-styled banger featuring dope verses from both rappers.
The video was shot by Starz Coleman and directed by MONTAGE ØNE. In addition to the brand-new footage scene in the visuals, you’ll also see clips from Eiht’s appearances in the 1993 classic, Menace II Society. It’s a creative concept that blends the past and the present while also perfectly capturing the vibes of the track.
Team Demo’s bass-rich instrumental already sounded tailor-made for those late night drives when you just need to get out and put the windows down. And thanks to the creative visual work of everyone involved, we’re seeing just how perfect that pairing actually is here.
Check out the visuals and head over to your preferred platform to support Team Demo’s compilation LP, It’s a Demo, which is available now through all major DSPs with limited copies available on vinyl via Team Demo Music in partnership with Every Hood Records and Fat Beats Records.
Team Demo is a DMV-based production crew consisting of DJ Dialtone, J. Cosell & Mr. Wise. They’ve produced for the likes of 50 Cent, Tha Alkaholiks & even the late Sean Price to only name a few. They just compiled a collection of previously released tracks earlier this year, but are now coming together for a full-length producer album of original material with Wais P on most of it. Kinda like how Ghostface Killah was prominently featured on Raekwon’s solo debut Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… & vice versa on Ironman.
“Quest Love Bounce” featuring Planet Asia & Skyzoo is a cinematic boom bap opener chockfull of hardcore lyricism whereas “Extras in the Pot” featuring Rome Streetz finds the 2 over some pianos, kicks & snares getting in their drug dealing bags. “5% Tint” featuring Hus Kingpin takes a soulful approach instrumentally wanting to take the lives of a couple opps leading into “Camera Flash” featuring Illa Ghee & Method Man finds the trio eerily talking about how you can pose like the flash of a camera itself.
Meanwhile, “Creep” featuring Montage Øne & MC Eiht gives off more of a minimal west coast sound as all 3 lyricists spit that g shit just before “Odee” featuring Termanology talks about running through the streets with it & a suspenseful boom bap beat. “Poli with the Plug” featuring Kingpen Slim & Vado ominously gets back on their hustler shit while “Do You Believe?” featuring Sauce Money angrily looks to make believers out of those who aren’t already.
“What You Don’t See” featuring Lil’ Fame & NEMS draws near the end of the LP dustily declaring that the things you don’t see is what you get turning the tables on “What You See is What You Get” by Xzibit prior to “Hallelujah” featuring The Bad Seed, Planet Asia & Ras Kass truly tying things up here with a gospel sample & a guitar so everyone is able to let off rapid fire bars in their own distinctive fashions for nearly 4 minutes.
If anyone enjoyed the joint “Crime Wave” off of 50’s final Shady/Aftermath album Before I Self Destruct that celebrated it’s 14 year anniversary last month, then you’re gonna want to check out Team Demo’s official debut. The production is raw paying homage to both the east & west coast which makes sense considering the list of guests that they bring along with them for the ride is generally consistent.
Take a trip to the West Coast on Team Demo’s latest single, “Creep,” a low-key funky banger featuring dope verses from MC Eiht and MONTAGE ØNE. From the sing-song hook to the bass-driven production, the track is essentially theme music for a drive-by, and both emcees deliver that messaging with superbly raw and quotable rhymes.
The 10 track LP is set for a Dec. 15th release date in partnership between Every Hood Records and Team Demo Music, with distribution by Fat Beats. The album will be available both digitally as well on vinyl (limited to 300 copies).
Team Demo continue their incredible hot streak of the past few years with a hard-hitting new album, It’s a Demo, featuring raw production and dope guest features. The legendary DMV production crew is joined by the likes of Method Man, Skyzoo, Rome Streetz, Planet Asia, and Ras Kass for a record full of banging beats and slick lyricism.
To kick off the album’s pre-order campaign in style, TD are pleased to share the album’s lead single, “Camera Flash” — a tough-as-nails banger that features top tier bars from Illa Ghee, Wais P and Method Man. All three bring the heat for their verses with plenty of boisterous braggadocio and slick talk. Their snarling raps are an ideal pairing with the riot-causing instrumental, and you can hear it for yourself now.
Acclaimed production crew Team Demo collabs with Rome Streetz and Wais P for some brutalist boom-bap on “Extras in the Pot.” This impeccably grimy track is like a verbal throat chop as Team Demo’s menacing instrumental sets the stage for the two emcees’ shared lyrical assault.
“Extras in the Pot” is available now through all major digital retailers and streaming platforms, with their full length producer compilation, It’s a Demo, available for pre-order on November 9th and due out December 15th in partnership between Every Hood Records and Team Demo Music, with distribution by Fat Beats. In addition to both featured artists, the 10 track LP boasts a stellar line-up of notable guest appearances that inlcude Method Man, MC Eiht, Nems, Skyzoo, Vado, Lil Fame (M.O.P.), Planet Asia, Ras Kass, Termanology and many more.
