RELEASE
Tuxedo - Tuxedo
LABEL: Stones Throw Records
In 2013 three funky tracks mysteriously appeared on the internet by a group called Tuxedo. It wouldn't be until 2 years later that their identities would be revealed as Grammy nominated renaissance man Mayer Hawthorne (Aquarius) and Grammy nominated producer Jake One (Taurus). In between Mayer's solo albums, and Jake's productions for Drake, Fun., J. Cole, etc., these three tracks became a full album's worth of Tuxedo. The album was mixed by original disco don dada John Morales at his home studio in South Plainfield, New Jersey. "I flew out there," Mayer says. "John made me spaghetti and everything."
