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 group’s latest mix-tape, The Hood Internet Mixtape Volume 6, features smart, funny, totally legit mash-ups of Kanye West and Snap, TLC and Holy Ghost, and even Whitney Houston and Chromeo. 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.
