Victor Vazquez of Boy Crisis has a new project?!? Indeed. Along with a college buddy Himanshu Kumar, he's rapping heavy in a mega-stoned Williamsburg hipster version of The Cool Kids - Das Racist. We should preface, these tunes should be listened to while high somewhere on a porch in Brooklyn. If that isn't an option, and/or if you have a low threshold for humor, Das Racist may sound pretty awful. (After all, their popular track, "Pizza Hut Taco Bell," is based on trying to meet up at a combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell stand on Jamaica Avenue.) But if you listen to "Ring Tone" with a bong in hand, these lyrics will have you rolling on the floor on top of Doritos (i.e. the track mentions George of the jungle, guapo, taco, apostles, Coca Cola, and Motorola in one big ass rhyme).

PS What's with the name? According to Vazquez, the name Das Racist is "actually just from this one little kid saying "thas racist" on Wonder Showzen, which then became a game where you shout it at the TV whenever some out-of-pocket-thing is happening. Then when we had to name our band, we spelled it "das" cause it was funnier, like Das EFX or like some German sh*t. I don't know... smoke a lot of weed.... etc..." Hey, at least they ain't racist.

Sounds Like: The Cool Kids, Hollywood Holt, Boy Crisis (Rapping)
