Jake One and Mayer Hawthorne form like Voltron to become production duo Tuxedo, the latest contestants on MASS APPEAL's Rhythm Roulette. The pair stopped by Good Records—the shop, not the label—on East 5th Street in NYC, tied bandanas over their eyes, and grabbed up three random records to sample.
Although the soundtrack to Blue Thunder had them somewhat perplexed, they also came up with a 12-inch single by Logg, and the Gamble & Huff sure shot, MFSB's Love is the Message.
You already know Jake One's steez: from Chance the Rapper to 50 Cent, Drake, and Fun, the versatile Seattle beat smith gets it in wherever he feels. Hawthorne's light-hearted brand of blue-eyed soul has won him fans since his 2009 Stones Throw debut. Tuxedo's danceable tracks have an undeniable pop sensibility, they also show a heavy G-Funk and 80s electro influence, which shines through on the beat they built for us.
"We got the disco kick offa Log, the rest of the drums from MFSB, and kind of a dramatic sound offa the Blue Thunder soundtrack," said Hawthorne, who also added his soulful crooning to the sonic stew. "And that's how you craft a whompin'-ass banger, Tuxedo style."

do i really have to be one of those rappers? complain how the game has been so backwards?
raving about the old fashioned days when the flow mattered
when passion and skill were the sole factors in building a status quo
when talent would go platinum and gold cuz it actually sold
hold up - I gotta scold you rookie rhymers?
am I supposed to sit and overlook in silence?
you forgot your role? i know some good reminders
kill your own career and sign the death notice with the same pen that you wrote your book of rhymes with
oh..you took my kindness as a weakness
that'd be your first mistake made and final inconvenience
where you crossed the line between us
had to see that I take pride in my achievements
i don't need your fake alliance or allegiance
see when I configure the change, figure they're sick of the same
bigots that's rigging the game - indicative vigor the wicked'll reign with,
digging a big enough figurative grave to fit every literal brain
definitive thinking they're thinking is sane
they didn't consider the way they're sitting could change the picture the image engrained
the bigger the gain, the bigger the loss
start the climb a little bit small
I'm making the wall fall one tiny brick at a time beginning with yours
so when its all been said and done, have you done what you said or not?
I've let a lot slide and it's about time to settle the pot
still I gotta hand it to you - that little game you run is really i quite impressive
but what happens when they face your fronting from the right perspective
with a slight directive change, where the cycle degenerates
and the walls are closing in as you lie tied to the bed you made
1, 2, 3
oh you think you got me? make a move and we can see
3, 2, 1
try to run, but the demolition has begun
you wanna talk about the root of evil? it ain't dollar bills, it's stupid people
who thinking they're spilling knowledge and fools believing it's real
well.. how's it feel? when you're not as ill as you claim to be?
exaggerated symptoms, malingering, faking blatantly
dealing it faithfully you feel you're phasing me
if i wasn't there a day your entire career couldn't fill the vacancy
what am i, supposed to make believe your rhymes ain't dime a dozen
pay a penny for your thoughts inside the senseless mind you're stuck in
'cause nothing amounts to shit without money put where your mouth is
sell your soul but can't buy a dream with a human worth that's counterfeit
now..it's pretty obvious your best bet's to resign
your little mind suffers napoleon complex next to mine,
you're a scared dog on a leash that's barking, marking it's territory
seems hard but step in his yard and it's a separate story
it's all in the metaphor, but it's far from authentic
id call you soft in my songs if your bars ain't already said it for me
and actions speak louder than words, haven't you heard?
tryna survey for some life in the aftermath of an earthquake
leave your ass in the dirt for the birds, you're making it worse
by recycling wordplay that you should've trashed in the first place
not bashing you per se, just saying..not with your best verse on my worst day
the truth hurts, play my tracks with a first aid
said I'm done giving passes
level the site with dynamite and when it crashes build a better one in it's ashes
1, 2, 3
oh you think you got me? make a move and we can see
3, 2, 1
try to run, but the demolition has begun

Lyrics:
"I got some money I'm a blow it all today
they say Michael don't throw it all away
and my reply was there's more on the way
when I said it I was walking in the rain
"I did a show in Chicago on the first
now I'm back in LA like Chicago and First
no sun but I'll father this verse
that's all I'm probably worth
and I'm from sunny CA to rain on all of this earth
Rainy terrain, receive the God sent messages
we know the answer, but dance around what the question is
what is it
it's back to who's on first
it's my dog
it's his tail
it's the chase
it's the search
it's the ignorance that causes all the bliss in my surroundings
cause dealing with reality's like drawing out your boundaries
and I refuse to be referred as less than a creative so catch me when I'm live in town as I've been demonstrating
That I could find my greatness in the waking of my absence
and absolutely kill it when they're dealing out these bad hands
a player plays what a players dealt
and carries baggage like conveyor belts
and never fucking saves his wealth
"I got some money I'm gonna blow it all today
they say Michael don't throw it all away
and my reply is there's more on the way
when I said it I was walking in the rain
"I write to alchemist cause others don't inspire me I got my people and they got my back entirely
I kill with Iriscience on the side of me
and by myself I lay em' out and iron out the irony
What a long winding road it's been
with no sign of slowing up around it's turns and bends
how many have friends that ain't foes within
dirty laundry in the wash, but them clothes don't spin
I mean really, I kill two birds with one bullet
the target's when I line it up
The triggers when I pull it
out the gate
a bit late, but the champ is back
I need a third hand to wear my rings and hold plaques
I hit the track like the runners new
hands high like a stick up
killer Michael running jewels
It's true, the eyes slanted
my Fam rock the planet
don't take fans for granted
like the money is due
"I got some money I'm a blow it all today
they say Michael don't throw it all away
and my reply was there's more on the way
when I said it I was walking in the rain
"I got some money I'm a blow it all today
they say Michael don't throw it all away
and my reply was there's more on the way
when I said it I was walking in the rain"

The overall meaning of this film was to get across the point that you should never fall complacent to the life around you if you know there's more to it. We made this with very little resources. This is my first short film and it is far from perfect. But, you gotta start somewhere. Thank you to everyone who helped make it happen.
