Thanks to Team Teamwork for sending this proper mixtape over… two sides! That’s bigtime for this website.

For a few years, Somerville’s Team Teamwork has been taking big name rappers and introducing their rhymes to the oddest of backbeats, including Zelda (The Ocarina of Rhyme), Final Fantasy (Vinyl Fantasy 7), and your Man Mans and Drug Rugs of the world (Good Ass Remixes Vol. 1). BTW: listen to them all on his Muxtape page, and download/donate moneys on his website. His latest is called Super Nintendo Sega Genesis, and with its release have been some his first live sets. The next one is May 25th at Good Life, where the venue will be setting up Ataris and Wiis to fuck around with. Hell yes! 

In the meantime, this mixtape should serve as a nice introduction to Team Teamwork’s world. Excellent hip-hop on the A side, from brand new locals Immigrants to Mississippi’s Big K.R.I.T., and the horn-heavy B side features the titular woodwind instrument on compositions by Deerhunter, Menomena, Black Mountain, and more. Team Teamwork says Side B’s inspiration came from landing on Side A’s closer, the “Careless Whisper”-sampling remix of “Bama Gettin’ Money”. Well played.
