Mayer Hawthorne & Jake One recently released their collaborative EP ‘2Dope’ & also the visual for their record ‘Do It’. The funk duo have collectively decided to go by “Tuxedo” & announced that they will be releasing a full album together; expect to see that release in early 2015.
Above is the official artwork for the album. The set release date will be March 3rd. Hawthorne shared a few words on how everything was put in place with the collaboration with Jake One:
The Tuxedo collaboration began with an exchange of mixtapes back in 2006. The fruits of a long-standing kinship were three tracks that mysteriously showed up on Internet doorsteps nearly two years ago. In between personal projects, these three tracks became a full album’s worth of Tuxedo. The album was mixed by original disco don dada John Morales at his home studio in South Plainfield, New Jersey. “I flew out there,” Mayer says. “His wife made me spaghetti and everything.”
The album will host 12 tracks. Peep the tracklist below.
