BBU And Das Racist Release Collaborative Single

Brooklyn rap duo Das Racist came to Chicago for a show last summer, and while they were here they hit Soundscape Studios with local rap outfit BBU (short for Bin Laden Blowin’ Up or -- if you prefer -- Black, Brown and Ugly). The end result is “Please, No Pictures,” a recently-released collaborative single featuring the vocal stylings of Das Racist and BBU backed by the beats of mash-up maestros The Hood Internet.

The track is an appeal for privacy during common activities, such as smoking a bong with Miley Cyrus and having sex with your mom. Along with snaps, claps and an adorable hook sung by the daughter of BBU’s Jasson Perez, it features a whole slew of dated pop culture references, including Dolly Parton, Arrested Development, and Martin (as in Lawrence).

You can download the track through BBU’s official site for the cost of becoming a BBU fan on Facebook. And you can catch BBU live tomorrow when they perform at Darkroom, opening for New York hip hop artist Homeboy Sandman. Also performing will be Gon and Scheme.

BBU perform Friday, March 4 at Darkroom, 2210 W Chicago, 9 p.m., $10, 21+
