The Milky Way – Metal Tiger Mixtape mixed by DJ Cee Brown
This is a sample of all the things we love to do. jam sessions, song sketches, live shows, remixes, cuts and full blown song compositions. it’s a glimpse into our history and a preview of the future of our sound. this is nothing like most mixtapes out right now…in structure, sound or flow. we tend to jump around genres and styles, so if you’re looking for something predictable, this isn’t it. but if you love good music, we’re sure you’ll find something you dig. enjoy.

About:
MC, songsmith and Milky Way frontman Sum formed the band in 2008. But music’s magnetic pull started bringing the members of this tri-coastal clan together years ago – first in spirit, then in person, one by one, to the Edge Of The World a.k.a. Los Angeles, California, the perfect point from which their post-millennial strain of funk, electronica and live hip-hop that doesn’t suck can rain over the cosmos and reverberate through the universe. A family affair, the MW lineup comprises college buddies, play cousins, childhood friends and even a married couple. X-Man (MPC), P.U.D.G.E. (bass & keys), Computer Jay (keys) and X-Ro (synth) are all formidable DJs and beatsmiths with their own followings. Later, Taurus Hamilton (guitar) and DJ Cee Brown (turntables) were added to fill the sound out. Vocabutrois & Lil Mis (background vocals/theatrics) were brought in to give a different twist on adlibs and stage performance, and The Milky Way was complete. Since inception, “The Milky Wayans†have performed with the likes of Dwele, Arrested Development and The Pharcyde at some of Los Angeles’ most historic and well-reputed venues.
