    Artist description
    They're the kids in your 8th grade class that used to pick boogers and rub them on your girlfriend's arm in the hallway. You hated on them outside the club because they set off firecrackers on the dancefloor and had everyone kicked out. Out from under the nearest rock, meet "DOWN-BAD." Hailing from different cities (Impulss from New Orleans and Mudnoc from Louisville And Meeting In Atlanta), they have a sound that perfectly combines the fun "Doowhutchalike" element of Digital Underground, the conceit of Slick Rick, the lyrical prowess of Rakim, the "hardcore with a smirk" aesthetic of Redman, with the disgusting humor of Eminem. One respected producer put it best: "They're like a thugged out Kid N' Play." Impulss delivers the high-pitched, off-beat, sick flow while Mudnoc rides tracks with on-point barotone vocals that contrast his M.C. partner perfectly (think Run-DMC).
