MAR$ is all about PROTON!!

I'm not sure if y'all are quite familiar with Proton or not... but they've got my co-sign.... Here's their review by the Fader:

"We're still not sure what to do with the label "hipster rap" because, umm, it just sounds stupid. However, Jon Caramanica, in his recent New York Times story on this strain of rap, briefly touched on these dudes' and ladies' descendance from Kanye and Andre 3000. Kanye obviously birthed the Midwest scene that includes the Cool Kids, Cudi and company. But it wasn't until we heard this new mixtape by Atlanta's Proton that we were convinced of Three Stacks' primogenitor status. Larry and Kamikazbi aka Thomasan (or their publicist) describe their music as "the missing link between Southernplayalistic and ATLiens" on their MySpace bio, so it's not like we had to work too hard to figure that out. But even their own description sells them short—the original songs on Red & Purple are actually pretty unique. Plus, with the cast of friends and crew contributing on here, it seems like there's a nice, new little scene developing once again in Atlanta, which can never be a bad thing. Download the tape below and get the tracklist after the jump."



I'm really loving their mixtape right now.... Hit up their MySpace. Friend them. And download the mixtape.... It's worth the time and money (LOL FREE!!!)
