THEY HATE CHANGE – "BLATANT LOCALISM"

Tampa rap/production duo They Hate Change have shared a new song off their upcoming Jagjaguwar debut Finally, New, and it puts an experimental, electronic twist on classic '90s/early 2000s style rap. The duo says, "As the cycle of rap cliches continues, we remain levelheaded. Rather than flexing rented cars and rented jewelry, we’re talking vintage cameras and how we came up selling tapes at DIY shows. Few minor flexes about designer dogs and staple name brand pieces, but it’s a break from the gimmicks and a PSA for those who continue to live a façade; we’re asking for everyone to show what’s really behind the curtain. Blatant Localism is our Skate Punk Jam."
