On the cover this month are Isis and Grahm Zilla, aka Thunderheist. This dance-rap duo from Montreal just released their first full-length on Big Dada, but they’ve been killing it on the blogs and in the clubs for ages with a sound that reminds us of a disco-fied Missy Elliot. We don’t like to throw out hyperboles too often around here but blowin’ the fuck up is all you can really say about them. Their new album is phenomenally danceable in a club, your apartment, the bus, with a mouse, in a house, there or anywhere. They’ve played festivals and shows around the world and one of their most recent stops was in Hollywood, where Isis appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel show with MSTRKRFT and rap legend N.O.R.E. Sure they’re a Canadian band, but at the rate things are going for them, they may actually be able to afford Patron and then pop it like Isis commands in their song “Cruise Low.” Until then, they’ll have to settle for Cuervo.
