Wow... this new Extremely Bad Man is something else. From the very beginning, the mood and the soundscape of the song pulls you right in.

Take a moment to get familiar with Extremely Bad Man, a collaboration with British producer and songwriter Elliot James. Their new album which debuts later this summer via Kobalt’s AWAL imprint also features artists like, Omenihu, Lex Famous, Jeremy Michaels, and Jallal. 

Julio Tavarez II - “I wanted Extremely Bad Man to be raw. Most of the takes were one shot, scratch vocals that are not tuned or cleaned up that much. You can hear imperfections all over the record. It’s very honest.“

Elliot James - “Cobe’s beats and rhythms instantaneously struck chords in Julio and I, we began to feel like we could make what we had always wanted to hear. We started laying down melodies and chopping things up into different keys and chords, it was all super fluid. All the collaborations happened naturally, we tried desperately not to force anything in the process as much as possible, and I think the final album reflects that honestly."

By now, you're already halfway through the song and you're getting the first glimpse of the incredible and raw energy of EBM. It's a really exciting project and we can't wait to hear the full album later this summer. If you're a fan of hip-hop with forward-thinking production, EBM's 'Up With The Birdies' is just for you.
