New Mixtape: Heems ‘Wild Water Kingdom’ [Exclusive]
Posted by Mikey Fresh under Exclusives , New Music[4] Comments
Heems, 1/3 of NYC based hip-hop group Das Racist is back with his second solo mixtape, Wild Water Kingdom. This past January Heems caught the attention of “alternative rap” listeners with his solo debut, Nehru Jackets, which was produced entirely by his Stuyvesant High School friend, Mike Finito (WWK includes beats by Harry Fraud and others). If you aren’t familiar with Das Racist, the diverse crew combines toilet humor, New York centric swag, off kilter production and of course some real hip-hop into their music. If you’re growing tired of the same 4 rappers on new remixes everyday, give this a shot. One of our favorite cuts from the mixtape is the Childish Gambino-assisted, “Tell Me.”

You can catch Heems on Reddit tody at 4pm.
Rare facts about Heems
1. Heems used to drive his parents’ Lexus at Wesleyan which bore the NYS vanity plate “HIMANSHU” (his full first name). That’s love right there!
2. His college friends had amazing nicknames for him. Including: Hollywood Heems and The Fun Colonel.
3. He just did that “Things I Carry” feature at the Fader, and they failed to mention that the royalty check from KMart he was carrying around was for 30G’s

Ive been bumping Tell me radio rip for like 4-5 months now wondering who/when it was going to be released. Also hearing Girls on the K-mart commercial is weird, I figure the head of advertising probably brought the instrumental ONLY to them ha.
