After sharing their debut single "Sixteen Shots" some weeks ago, the newly formed rap duo Random Act of Violence (Pawz One & Evolve) return with their sophomore single titled "Project Called Mayhem." Bolstered by an ominous and gritty soundscape, the duo proceed to share unfiltered thoughts on systemic racism, the current state of affairs in the states, and other real-time issues plaguing the country. The duo trade bars with vicious intent, poking fun at extremely patriotic republicans, zealots, and bootlickers while flexing their rights to free speech. Nothing is spared here and listeners get a dose of that hard-hitting underground rap some of us may find nostalgic. Overall, the aptly titled track hits the bullseye and leaves listeners with something to ponder on as the trouble in the world rages on.
"Project Called Mayhem" is taken from the duo's self-titled album which is chock-full of grimy bars over bangin' beats for the head-nodders.
Hailing from Los Angeles, Pawz One has been repping the real and releasing music for the past decade. Most recently he teamed up with '90s West Coast vet Mykill Miers for the aptly named Double Homicide album and has also appeared on tracks with such notables as Ruste Juxx, Sadat X, Percee P, Shabaam Sahdeeq and DJ Rhettmatic.
Based out of Donna, Texas, Evolve has released over twenty albums through his Boom Bap Masterpiece Records label. He has collaborated on tracks with such notables as Chino XL, Fatlip (of the Pharcyde), Esoteric, Mickey Factz, Blueprint and many more. Touring the country over the past decade he has also shared stages with the likes of Raekwon, Murs, R.A. The Rugged Man, Masta Ace and Immortal Technique among others.
