Big-Band Hip-Hop Soul Music from the City of Brotherly Love. Rent is due on the 5th Bitch and Black Landlord ‘aint taking no bullshit. What’s in the name? “ummmm, nothing really, I was living in Europe and my boy called me up and said “YO, I have the best band name in the world” says band front-man and former leader, Philadelpia’s OTHER hip-hop band that started in the early 90s and rose to quick fame – the Goats. And when Maxx heard the name Black Landlord he moved back home and decided to build the band accordingly. Rolling Stone descirbes this 9 piece musical machine as “what would happen if KRS One and James brown showed up at your house and then wouldn’t leave”. We just say it’s the best fucking record we’ve put out in years, highly anticipated coast to coast.
