Super Nice Music is proud to present The BUMS, two of the few honest and true Hip Hop craftsmen still out there. The album, “Like This”, is a re-release of the 2008 debut of the duo hailing from North Carolina, and contains a never before released bonus track. We bring you this overlooked gem with the announcement that The BUMS are back with new music coming in 2012.

The BUMS are MO (MC, Producer) from Richmond, VA and TJ Hooky aka Dick Grayson (Producer) from Fayetteville, North Carolina, USA. The acronym BUMS stands for Building Up Musical Sounds, and not without reason. Both MO and TJ come from Hip Hop’s golden age, both produce music and like to blend the all-time great American music like R&B, Soul, Jazz and Funk with the classic Hip Hop from the likes of Dilla, Pete Rock, Madlib, DJ Premier and Dr. Dre.

The BUMS met in 2002 through a mutual friend and shortly after started working on their debut LP, entitled Like This. Although originally released in 2008, the Super Nice crew feels like this LP is not recognized for what it is, a true Hip Hop classic, and therefore decided to re-release the long player to give it the shine it deserves. This fourth Super Nice release is just a warm up to more and better things to come from the unique duo that is The BUMS!

Currently The BUMS are hard at work in the studio to finish off two new projects: A Beautiful World and Bumtacular Fleets, which are both expected to be released on Super Nice Music in 2012.  After releasing these two projects MO and TJ hope to expand the sound of The BUMS to different genres such as Jazz/Instrumental and R&B projects.

Tired of hearing Wham and Mariah Carey every year at Christmas with the same songs? Had enough of hearing Paul McCartney at his worst? And are you sick of hearing this guy saying that he saw his mommy kiss a fat guy with a beard? Do not despair, Super Nice Music to the rescue!!

All the beatmakers affiliated to Super Nice joined forces to serve you a different dish this year. They have been chopping up Christmas samples from the likes of Chris Rea to Otis Redding and transformed them into instrumental Hip Hop beats so you can still enjoy the holidays with some nice Christmas music without losing your swag! This Super Nice Christmas gift is available for free at our bandcamp page, or you can hit the download link below. 

The project contains 11 tracks from producers such as MO & TJ Hooky from the BUMS, North Carolina USA to Amsterdam producers like Rome Le’Vant, Laezea and Lemonface. And how can we forget Arnhem’s own Dave Redi known from his critically acclaimed Super Nice debut,Insomniac Music. An honorable mention goes out to DNGRSC who is on the artwork and was supposed to be on this project, but didn’t make it in time due to us keeping him (too) busy with the video’s for Dave Redi. The artwork is done by Commonlight from the UK, you can check more of his work right here.

We wish everybody a merry Christmas with friends and family, we’ll get back at you with more Super Nice Music in 2012!
