“Two of our favorite indie New York artists have officially joined forces on “Hi It’s Me, Baby.” The track features rhymes from Big Baby Gandhi, who you might know for his ill Big Fucking Baby mixtape released via Das Racist’s Greedhead Music last November. And on the beat, it’s Nick Koenig, aka Hot Sugar, a dude who loves blending crunchy boom-bap beats with sounds he literally gathers from all around him.”

Watch out for the new mixtape from these two on Das Racist’s Greedhead Music and Mad Decent coming soon.

For the past several weeks The Roots have been releasing video vignettes featuring song from their new studio album, undun, out in December on Island Def Jam. This week, our own Hot Sugar and Aaron Livingston, aka Young Vipers, have contributed a song to the album and the last vignette in the series, called “Sleep.” The song uses the Young Vipers original track as the soundbed to Black Thought’s rhymes, for a chilling outcome. In other news, Hot Sugar just signed an EP deal with Ninja Tune for the world, watch for him to drop his newest Moon Money in early 2012.
