Meet NO(w)FUTUR

 Two hip-hop lovers since forever who decided to unite their forces because they’re both getting tired of hearing the oh-so-classic sentence ‘hip-hop is dead’. The idea is to bring a fresh taste of the new hip-hop scene every 2 months or so by releasing one mixtape–a proper mix like every DJ should do, not just pushing tracks and yelling on a mic–exclusively on Okayplayer and one concert in Paris (as a beginning!) focusing on new artists that come back to the roots of hip-hop (lyrics, skills and dope beats) but not based on the usual ’90′s boom-bap vs. new school’ theory. THERE IS NO(w) FUTURE, CAUSE THE FUTURE IS NO(w).

I know Mr. MASS as an incredibly talented photographer. One night, I had a dream about him. I told him that I dreamed he was DJing somewhere wearing a mask. He then told me that I had one of those premonition dreams, because he is a DJ and I guess at that time he was planning a comeback in the music scene. I was stoked. I love how he loves and breathes hip-hop. And listens to the newcomers like Joey Bada$$ and Clear Soul Forces and giving props where its due. Tired to hear old souls crying about how hip-hop died and can’t seem to adapt to the new era. Hip-hop evolved, changed, transformed. Gotta give my props to NO(w)FUTUR bringing the art of djing back to where it was.

Here’s their online debut on OKAYPLAYER!
