Converse Music Presents: Trash Talk & Flatbush Zombies - "97.92" (CONS EP, Vol. 1)




While it might not exactly be the righteous ear-piercing RAGER you'd expect from a Trash Talk/Flatbush Zombies team-up, "97.92" is a pretty legit-sounding thankfully Nü-Metal-less Rock-tinged Hip-Hop banger; frontman @LeeSpielman notes that it's first-time beat-maker(s) and fellow bandmate " Garrett [Stevenson] and Kellen on the beat." Even though Trash Talk are signed to Odd Future Records, they really haven't dabbled too much into Hardcore Punk/Hip-Hop hybrids, aside from two Spielman-assisted tracks on Hodgy Beats' quick-strike Untitled EP 2 (2013). Stereogum premiered "97.92" mid-Monday morning, which Trash Talk & Flatbush Zombies collectively recorded together at Converse's own Williamsburg-based Rubber Tracks studio recently. If The Internet-propelled rumor-mill is to be believed, both groups are currently working on new music; Flatbush Zombies leaked a new track, "LiT" from their upcoming It's All a Matter of Perspective EP and Lee Spielman recently Tweeted, "I really can't wait for you guys to hear the new Trash Talk album... I'm so stoked for this sh*t to unleash on the world." Converse plans to release CONS EP Vol. 1, including "97.92" and RATKING x Eric Copeland's previous leak "Gauchos," early next month (March).
