The Unknwns Presents: '420 BACKWOODS EDITION'. [MIXTAPE]


Embark on an unparalleled sonic journey with The Unknwns as they unveil their latest opus, "420 BACKWOODS EDITION". Following the resounding success of "420. THE PRE:ROLL", this enigmatic collective is poised for nothing short of #WORLDDOMINATION.

Hailing from the vibrant streets of South Joburg, The Unknwns are not your average crew. Fusing elements of rock, psychedelic, funk, old school R&B, and 90s hip-hop, they've birthed a genre-defying sound known as psychedelic blues. Comprising a constellation of mad-talented vocalists, rappers, poets, and painters, The Unknwns are bound by their shared passion for street culture, trippy art, and vintage aesthetics.

"420 BACKWOODS EDITION" marks a significant evolution in The Unknwns' sonic odyssey. Featuring engineers such as KNOW, TELO5, CRYSTATE, RAVEN SANTANA & BOB WI.RES, with purposeful sampling and impactful storytelling, each track on the mixtape exudes infectious cohesion and depth. Featuring luminaries such as Soul Rich, Kenn Kyoto, Laezy.i, Daddy Indica, Scxtt Supremacy & MANO, the collective's lyricism and courageous penmanship establish them as trailblazers within the South African music scene. 

This mixtape is not merely an auditory experience; it's a sonic manifesto challenging the very fabric of SA's alternative landscape. Through skillful instrumentation and visionary production, The Unknwns transport listeners to an alternate reality where psychedelic blues reign supreme. As pioneers of this movement, they lead the charge towards uncharted sonic territories.

"420 BACKWOODS EDITION" is now available on Audiomack , Bandcamp , and SoundCloud . Prepare to tune into an UNKNOWN FREQUENCY, powered by G.D.R & THE UNKNOWNS.
