Maison de Funk are delighted to present our second run with Rochester's BroGawd and first run with legendary west-coast spitter, Big Mijo himself,  XP The Marxman !!

BLACK & BROWN BUSINESS produced DJ So-Cal

featuring artwork by esteemed scene artist and designer Craig Dyer

Black and Brown Business is a tightly wound, 9-track collaboration that fuses street wisdom with cultural pride. Fully produced by So=Cal, the project is a sonic handshake between Brogawd and XP the Marxman — and both bring their distinct flavors of grit, introspection, and bravado to the table.

The title itself is a nod to solidarity, entrepreneurship, and survival within marginalized communities. Lyrically, the album navigates themes of legacy, loyalty, and the hustle—without falling into cliché. Tracks like lead single “Bass Boss” and “Day Programs” (featuring Korbin Will) balance swagger with substance, while “Street Fighter” evokes cinematic tension, pairing XP’s sharp delivery with dusty, noir-tinged production.

So=Cal’s beats are minimalist but textured—think vinyl crackle, crisp snares, and moody loops that leave room for the emcees to breathe. This is a superior hip-hop record.
