The WHOevers Keep It Short And Sweet With New Track "Hang It Up"

The WHOevers are a local hip-hop production duo who met up at Northern Illinois University in 2010 and have been consistently releasing quality soul-damaged rap music in the vein of Mos Def and Atmosphere, including 2011's mixtape Renovations and its 2012 follow-up RedTape.

Nowadays, as Fake Shore Drive points out, the duo is releasing a new track every first Wednesday of the month, starting in April, and the first one is a short and sweet doozy of a diss track. (Indeed, "[a] PSA for bum rappers, and bum humans, who flat out need to hang it up," as Fake Shore puts it.) Production wise, D.jbari's crisp beatsmithing keeps the track nice and smooth. Download below, and keep an eye out for future Wednesday releases:
