Raze "Off My Rocker" featuring Logic (of The Hollowz)

Since last summer’s release of his sophomore album, Living in Technocolor, Raze’s reputation of being a wild card and too blunt at times has grown exponentially with a constant stream of public thoughts that call out whatever he feels needs to be called out at that time.

Finally, Raze admits that he’s gone “crazy” with his new song that features the equally-as-tortured rapper, Logic (of The Hollowz).

The song “Off My Rocker” (produced by Raze himself) unleashes nothing less than an eyebrow raising, and even macabrely humorous, walk through the thoughts of two emcees that aren’t afraid to let the “crazy” fly when it’s proper and necessary to do so.

The Hollowz release new singles: "Nice To Meet You" ft. A.P.R.I.M.E. & "Your Place (Or Mine...No Yours)"

To support the release of their new album Dreams Of Sex And Flying, Milwaukee hip-hop duo The Hollowz are releasing an A-side/B-side for your immediate listening and downloading pleasure.

Emcee Logic and producer Ed Cayce, came together in 2009 to form The Hollowz and have developed a great musical chemistry which led to the creation of 2010's The Premonition EP and of course 2011's DOSAF.

The first single off of DOSAF,"Nice To Meet You" features AUTOMatic's emcee A.P.R.I.M.E. and showcases the smooth-as-velvet flow both Logic and A.P.R.I.M.E. are known for. The B-side to the single, "Your Place (Or Mine...No Yours)" is a hilarious romp about the search to get laid. It will get groans from some people, but it's also going to make many people laugh as they identify with the hunt for a profitable sexual encounter.
