New Music: Main Attraktionz- “Cloudy Body”

RESPECT. Staff — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 17:35:14 +0000

In preporation for Bossalinis & Fooliyones, Main Attraktionz has dropped two new cuts from the forthcoming album. Last month they released “Do it for the Bay“, and this week they’re back again with “Cloudy Body“. Seeing as Squadda Bambino and Mondre Man have really taken the “cloud rap” meme to a new level, the title of their new track seems fitting. Plus, the single serves as a precursor to the group’s upcoming CMJ appearances, where they’ll be playing the Young One and Mishka parties on October 17th and 18th, respectively.

CMJ DATES

10/17 – Brooklyn, NY – 285 Kent (Young One showcase w/ Children of the Night, Kool AD, Deniro Farrar, Cities Aviv, Bryant Dope, Lee Bannon)

10/18 – Brooklyn, NY – 350 Broadway (Mishka party w/ Haleek Maul, Cities Aviv, A$ton Matthews)
