The Hood Internet

The Hood Internet is a Chicago mash-up duo best known for its compelling juxtaposition of rap and indie-rock, and a steady stream of remixes and jam-packed mix-tapes have served to highlight the group’s ravenous musical appetite. The duo’s brand-new self-titled debut ditches hardcore party tracks and straight up mashups for more relaxed jams. The Hood Internet features remixes of Foster The People, Freddie Gibbs, A Place To Bury Strangers, and The Rosebuds, as well as original tracks from Freddie Gibbs and BBU. Although the duo was initially just a studio phenomenon, tour dates have revealed the act’s live iteration to be just as danceable and almost as commercially viable as a frequent point of comparison: Girl Talk.
