Unsigned Bands: Throwback

Throwback:

Throwback is a nineteen-year-old Jewish rapper who has drawn comparisons to SRC/Universal artist Asher Roth ("I Love College") and MC Serch (3rd Bass, Illmatic producer).
 

With the release of his high-powered debut mixtape What’s High?, the “Jewish King” – a name given to Throwback by high school friends – is staking his claim as one of the most promising new recording artists in hip-hop.

 

What’s High? features “Smoked A Blunt,” a hilarious parody of Katy Perry’s mega-hit “I Kissed a Girl,” the smash remix of “Flight School” featuring T-Pain and Kanye West, and the summer street anthem “I Got Paper” featuring J-Wiz.

 

“Almost everyone and their mother smokes weed in this day and age,” says Throwback. “I figured why not put together a mixtape that all my smokers could relate to.”

 

Throwback’s attachment to pot is entwined in hip-hop. “I was introduced to marijuana at a Snoop Dogg and The Game concert by a fan. The guy next to me just happened to be rolling a blunt of ‘dro.  He was kind enough to share.”

 

With the release of What’s High? – hosted by DJ Deez and available for free download at www.blockstarzmusic.com on June 9 – Throwback is out to prove that despite tracks like “Smoked a Blunt” he’s no novelty act.

 

"I definitely don't look the part, but don't let the face fool you," says the confident Youngstown, OH native. “I have never regretted making a song or spitting a verse. Everything I've done has served as a learning experience for me and has really helped to build my character. Asking me why I smoke weed is like asking why do I rap. It's something I enjoy doing; it keeps me sane and grounded. To each his own, right?”
