When people talk about artists not making music like ‘this’ anymore. This is the this they’re talking about.

When you hear that hip-hop’s next supergroup comes from Huntsville, Alabama, the critically acclaimed, New York Times certified, next city to blow, that ‘this’ suddenly begins to make total sense.

And in case you were wondering, there’s no need to wipe your feet as you enter the Drunk B4 N9ne Experience…

Formed of North Alabama’s finest, DB49 has been making waves at home and across the waters ever since the release of Southern Hospitality & Governed By Loyalty‘s collaborative mixtape project Southern Loyalty.

Southern Hospitality’s phone lines and inboxes have been inundated with pleas from internationally known DJs, radio show hosts and record label A&Rs to release this one song to the world as a single. And we were only too happy to oblige.

Super producers the Block Beattaz engineered the music from one of the south’s hottest prospects, Arkitek of Kash Kartel, to lay the backdrop for the world’s first introduction to DB49.

Taken off their upcoming ‘Happy Hour’ project, G-Side’s ST 2 Lettaz, mic executioner Slash, the founder of the W2 Boy movement and one of the world’s most cutting lyricists Kristmas, Alabama Hustle Unit boss, the OG G-Mane, and Bentley (you know, the guy who dropped the greatest verse of 2009 on G-Side’s ‘In The Rain’, off the Huntsville International project) blessed the world with the mesmeric, futuristic but soul-warmingly classic-feeling sonics of ‘Ready To Go’.

Feel this. And keep your eyes and ears wide open for DB49.

‘Happy Hour’ coming sooner than you could possibly imagine.
