|  | Deaf Judges are a four man Hip Hop crew out of Athens, Georgia consisting of three MCs (Rorshak, Produce Man and Louie Carlysle) and one DJ/ producer (Cubenza). This conglomeration of talent pulls together vast influences from all over the musical map into a secret formula that exhibits the freewheeling fun of the old-school eighties together with the grimy lyric-driven pulse of nineties NY underground. All of this is spiced with a distinctly Southern flavor that is undeniable, while at the same time far removed from the regional sounds of their dirty south contemporaries.
TOMORROW they will release their debut album, All Rise, via independent label Emerald City Ruins (www.ecruins.com). Recorded with the help of engineer Joel Hatstat (Pegasuses-XL, ex-Cinemechanica) at The Bakery in Athens, Georgia, the album skillfully combines the esoteric and abstract elements of their underground influences with a solid foundation of old-school Hip Hop fundamentals. Funk and Soul samples reside alongside middle-eastern street recordings and bizarre sound effects in the tapestry of production over which the different MCs relate their off-the-wall, high octane lyrical bombardments.
