Check out 8th’s bio from his website and the new mixtape below:
“8thW1 has been around on the NYC underground hip-hop scene for quite some time. In 2008, he made a strong entrance with his debut album, lovemoneyandmusic, followed by a mixtape called crazy 8s. He continued to build a reputation performing with with the A-OK Collective, a group which included such artists as Fresh Daily, Homeboy Sandman, P.So the Earthtone King and Nola Darling.
In 2010, 8th recorded an album with the 2 Hungry Bros called No Room For Dessert. The album was a modest success being the highest selling album on it’s label, Domination Recordings while making it’s way around through various internet publications. Not one to slow down, he shortly released Suicide By Jellyfish, a collaborative mixtape he recorded with fellow A-OK member P.So the Earthtone King.
After releasing two projects in 2010, 8th decided to take a hiatus from releasing music. After over 2 years, 8thW1 has made his return with Lux DeVille, an album he recorded with longtime friend and collaborator, producer PVD. This project looks to be an evolution of 8thW1 with more maturity and honesty wrapped in his signature conversational flow over PVD’s jazz-influenced compositions.
Lux DeVille is scheduled for release in the Spring of 2013 on Elementality Music Productions/Fontana INGrooves.”
