Perfeck Strangers – Ghetto **Audio**
30 11 2011
Veteran Toronto emcees Dan-e-o and Promise are now tackling the world of music as a tandem. It’s easy to say that Perfeck Strangers are an unlikely pair, but when listening to their music you would think they have been rhyming together for years.
Both accomplished rappers in their own rights, their union presents a “perfeck” melding of talent in the vein of Hip Hop’s most heralded duos, such as Black Star, De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest and Little Brother.
Dan-e-o and Promise have even been compared to legendary tag-teams like EPMD and Das EFX for the way they effortlessly flip lines back and forth with each other.
In 2012, their debut album, “Series Premiere” will air worldwide, with distribution via URBNET Records.
iTunes: URBNET – Underground Hip-Hop, Vol. 7 – Various Artists
