“The purest, most unaffected fun available in hip hop right now.” - Observer Music Monthly
“Plastic Little are the cleverest kids in the sandbox.” - Pitchfork
Philly rap collective Plastic Little are back, still on top comic form and ready to unleash their new album Welcome to the Jang House, on September 29. Using hard liquor and samples ripped from a wealth of popular music, Philadelphia’s hip-hop pioneers continue in their epic quest of getting laid and bringing the party to the rest of the world.
Plastic Little hit like a hurricane in 2007, thrusting a much-needed sense of fun into the dry loins of hip-hop, bumrushing the music scene while following their own strictly DIY aesthetic and turning heads all over the place. Welcome to the Jang House is an amalgamation of their first mixtape Thug Paradise, their debut album She’s Mature, plus a couple of new tracks including Herve’s “Cheap Thrills” feat. Plastic Little.
For She’s Mature (the cover of which mimics the Smiths’ single “This Charming Man”), the verbal rabble-rousers hooked up with some choice emcees and producers, including like-minded posse Spank Rock, Sweatheart's Amanda Blank, MF Doom and his producer/pal King Honey, Diplo, and none other than Ghostface Killah. The Roots legend Dj ?uestlove also gave their debut his stamp of approval calling it “the follow up to Licensed to Ill.”
They’ve also put out a few critically acclaimed and much loved EPs, “Crambodia”, “I’m Not a Thug” and “Get Close”, and have been busy boys touring the globe performing alongside such heavyweights as Mark Ronson and Jay-Z and doing remixes for everyone from Hot Chip to Just Jack.
In part, this is because they’ve always had their priorities right (“first we text messaging, then we sex messaging”). But what gives Plastic Little real depth is that, underneath the humour, there’s a biting critique of society at large and an acerbic wit and intelligence. So while it may be party, drugs, drinks and bitches and all-round fun within their music on one level, there is a larger stew brewing under the surface.
