Mally and Max look down on all other rappers from Minnesota.
Fresh off the release of his tremendous sophomore album, The Moment, our favorite Minnesota emcee Mally From the 612 has teamed up with a fellow resident of the Gopher State, Max Haben, to add another dope song to his catalog. Like Mally, Max Haben is a student at St. Thomas (having graduated this past spring, Mally is technically no longer a student, but you get my meaning), which I assume is how they met.
Produced by Teddy Roxpin, the beat samples what I could swear are the horns from Slick Rick's Mona Lisa (or perhaps the original Dionne Warwick song, Walk On By). Whatever he used, it's a memorable bit of production. Check it out:

For those of you who have been paying attention, you no doubt remember Teddy Roxpin as the producer behind the Praverb the Wyse track that we featured on the site a few weeks ago, The King. Max Haben, Teddy Roxpin and Praverb are currently collaborating on a joint album, due out sometime later this year. I'm always excited to see artists that we've profiled connect with each other (a topic that came up recently in the comments), as the results are, without fail, quite good.
Max Haben released his debut album, The Mind is Infinite, this past January. In addition to the upcoming project with Praverb, he is also set to release a mixtape, Runnin' Down a Dream, next month (Mally didn't send me a whole lot of background info on this track, but I presume Ghost Town will be on the mixtape). To find out more about it, hit up Max's MySpace page.
You already know all you need to about Mally by now, so let me just remind you one more time that his album, The Moment, is available for free. If he was selling it for $12.99 (or whatever a cd goes for these days) it would still be a bargain, so go cop it!
