Lifesavas New Album "Gutterfly"
In Stores Now:

Gutterfly's narrative includes 14 tracks with a thread of interludes, and traces the fictional deeds of a trio of ghetto superheroes -- Bumpy Johnson (played by VURS as if his life depended on it), Sleepy Floyd (a character wholly inhabited by JUMBO) and Jimmy Slimwater (personified by SHINES) -- who fight their way out of the perilous confines of a mythologized Portland, Razorbade City, in a way that's reminiscent of the creation myth behind many a great hip-hop partnership in the history of the genre (from Outkast to Tribe Called Quest). Inspired by an obscure, long-forgotten film project from the '80s of the same name, Gutterfly draws its source material not only from Baraka Feldman's original concept but also from the blaxploitation films of the '70s, such as "Coonskin" and the Zatoichi series of Japanese cult films, and the desire to shatter fans' expectations about what Lifesavas represent.

Check out the video, a humorous parody of the rap industry inspired by Holywod Shuffle. Very relevant to what is going on today. From the artist who brought you the BET UnCut clasic, White Girls.
