Hip Hop was built on a foundation of double meanings. While the title of The Paxtons’ new mixtape, The Manhattan Project, is an obvious reference to their relocation to NYC and adoption of the New York state-of-mind, there is a deeper inspiration driving the mixtape.
The Manhattan Project is also the codename for a WWII project whose mission was to develop the first atomic bomb. In musical terms, The Paxtons are taking the same approach by building a mixtape that is set to annihilate the competition with lyrics and production that clearly show an unseen hunger and level of progression and creativity from the Chicago-bred MC and production team.
If their last opus, Work, was safe and constrained, The Manhattan Project is its freer and riskier big brother. Featuring a precise mix of original production (The Paxtons, Brenmar of These Are Powers, et al), co-oped beats (Diplo, The Neptunes, Dam Funk, Chuck Inglish) and guest appearances (X.O. of Diamond District, et al); The Manhattan Project is guaranteed to make music lovers take notice.
