Mellow Man Ace and Son Glitch Out (MP3)

This is impressive and for some of our readers, it shows our age (not my age, just the fact that I passed Hip-Hop 101). Anyway, the first platinum, Latino, rap artist ever was a man named Mellow Man Ace – you might know him from the song, “Mentirosa.”  These days, he is still performing and making music but he is not doing it alone, he is with his son, Cazal Organism. The duo, who call themselves, the Zzyzzx,  just released their a single, “10 x Infinite / the Glitch,” on iTunes and it will also be featured on Wilshire District’s upcoming Miracle Mile mixtape . The song itself is legacy itself: a mellow, downbeat, track filtered for repeats and plays – check out the stream below and buy the track here.
