Indy rap veterans Blacastan and Stu Bangas have joined forces and formed the duo “Watson and Holmes”, with an LP set to be released on Brutal Music on July 29, 2014.

Fresh off his strong showing on the new Army Of The Pharaoh’s album, “In Death Reborn”, Blacastan is looking to continue his strong push to the top of the genre. Meanwhile Stu Bangas’ aims to follow up last year’s collaborative LP with Esoteric, “Machete Mode” with an equally impressive album.

Hailing from Hartford, CT, the Demigodz and AOTP member Blacastan brings his throwback, gritty, story telling style to the project, seamlessly dropping gems over Stu Bangas’ hard hitting production. Whether it be braggadocios punch lines, found on the stand-out cut “Nubian Metal" (featuring Vinnie Paz and Celph Titled) or introspective life experiences, found on the song “Change”, Blacastan sounds at home over the albums grimy soundscape.

Blacastan has rocked stages as a solo performer and alongside AOTP, Block McCloud, Vinnie Paz, Celph Titled, Apathy, Esoteric, OuterSpace, and countless others in Australaia, Ireland, Spain, and all over the United States and Canada. The Watson & Holmes Tour finds him backed by Stu Bangas’ who also brings a live Beat Society styled MPC routine with him to spice up the show. This is a show for the true supporters of the classic Boom Bap sound!
