Odd Future offshoot MellowHype (Hodgy Beats and Left Brain) have released the video for "La Bonita", the lead single off their new album Numbers . Though Hodgy envisions his bonitas in black and white wearing some Dia de los Muertos makeup backed by a mariachi band wearing Mexican wrestling masks, he insists this song "ain't only for the Spanish girls." Numbers is due out October 9th (one week later than originally reported) via Odd Future Records. You can see the album's tracklist and [...]

This feels like a nice step forward for MellowHype aka Left Brain and Hodgy Beats of Odd Future. Offering up a new track called "La Bonita" which is set to appear on their forthcoming project Numbers the duo seems ot have grown a little with their musical project. Hodgy pushes is vocal ability in this one and I really enjoyed it. See if you agree below. Numbers drops on October 2nd. (Via Hypetrak )
The Pretty Girl is Mellowhype's attempt at a new single. Left Brain creates a Caribbean production with thick bass to compliment the xylophone keys. Hodgy jumps in to talk about his "Puerto Rican mama" and his other Hispanic women. As with recent Mellowhype releases, this is another great release but so far the theme and creative lyricism is what is driving this to be my favorite.

Fresh on the heels of announcing their release date for Numbers (same day as FlyLo & Kendrick!), MellowHype 's Hodgy Beats & Left Brain deliver breezy single "La Bonita." "La Bonita" is definitely lighter fare than we're accustomed to hearing from the tenacious duo. Listen for yourself below: Look for the new album Numbers dropping October 2nd.

MellowHype’s "La Bonita" is a sweltering, tropicalia-ish ode to Latina women. From the alien repetition of the song's title over laid-back xylophone and accordion to the sultry pulling off all your clothes hook at the ... read more

Well, now that we know MellowHype 's new album, Numbers , is dropping on Oct.2-the same day as Flying Lotus and Kendrick Lamar !-we can officially get excited, right? RIGHT? Right, especially because the latest leaks, " Fakuoy " and now "La Bonita", showcase that Left Brain and Hodgy Beats are progressing musically. "La Bonita" might get a lil' silly at times lyrically, but it's a bright, summery track you could probably get away with playing at a party. Maybe. Stream it below.
MellowHype , the collaboration of Hodgy Beats and Left Brain , is one of our favorite Odd Future affiliates, and they’re dropping their second record, Numbers , soon, though no official release date has been announced. New leak “Fakuoy” isn’t a single, but it’ll definitely appear on the album. We’re hoping the rest of the record can boast raps as smart, brutal, and totally boss – that creepy, simmering backbeat is hypnotic, but it can’t distract for a second from Hodgy’s snappy [...]
Only Hodgy Beats raps on MellowHype’s "Fakuoy." The track is minimal but Hodgy jumps into its waters and doesn't look back, reaching out to pre-Millennials by referencing Titanic and the Budweiser frogs. Numbers, the follow-up ... read more
You'd expect the champagne to still be flowing at Odd Future headquarters after the seismic success of Frank Ocean, but the other members of the crew seem to be hard at work today. We've already heard the Domo Genesis posse cut " Elimination Chamber ," and now there's a new track from MellowHype, the duo of Hodgy Beats and Left Brain. It's called "Fakuoy," and it's a piece of characteristically lo-fi ghost-funk rap. Grab it below. Read More...

Leftbrain and Hodgy Beats make their first connection as MellowHype in quite some time on this lovely Saturday evening with the raw cut, "Fakuoy".

Sultry summer days deserve slaps of all shapes and sizes and sounds. And, as you may have noticed, we've made a few changes around here lately, so it seemed only appropriate to break in the new site with a collection of things we've had on repeat while the weather's been warming up. Highlights include Hodgy Beats restructuring some vintage D'Angelo, Mario's "Let Me Love You" getting a groovy overhaul, Poolside coming with a sticky summer jam, and Big Boi and Theophilus keeping it settled, if not subtle. Oh, and that DIIV video is crazy too. [...]

Hodgy Beats - "Fordabitches" (via HYPETRAK ).

Hodgy Beats is my favorite member of Odd Future. I think he's the best emcee in the crew, and I'm always pleased with his musical offerings. Today we have another new joint from Hodgy in the form of "fordabitches". The song stays true to it's title and is a mellow and funky jam. Check it out below. Hodgy Beats: "fordabitches"
Since his fellow Odd Future member Frank Ocean had the blogs on a stand still Friday with the release of his first single "Pyramids," Hodgy Beats decide to release a new song via his Twitter feed. The record is titled "Fordab*tches" featuring some vocals from R&B singer D'Angelo 's track "Alright." As you may be able to tell from the title, this track is aimed for the ladies but of course in typical OF fashion. I feel many people underestimate OF emcee's lyrical abilities and need to realize that these kids do have some depth [...]
