If all you knew of Himanshu Suri and Victor Vazquez was their stoned spoof "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell," you might dismiss the rap surrealists as an amusing waste of a liberal-arts degree. In fact, their debut mixtape, Shut Up, Dude, was a hyperliterate good time, kicking flavor like "W.E.B. Du Bois/We be da boys." This new mixtape feels more pro, bringing in name producers (Diplo, Dame Grease) while joking about Dwight Schrute and Peggy Noonan. On "hahahaha jk?," they ponder a Middle America takeover: "We're not racists/We love white people/Ford trucks, apple pies, bald eagles." They're a Beastie Boys for the Tea Party era.

They came on the scene with online novelty hit "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell", but there's a lot more to this New York rap outfit on their new mixtape.
