BROWNSVILLE, NY--(MARKET WIRE)--May 20, 2004 -- It's been two years since M.O.P. ("the real Backstreet Boys") hit the road with Cam'Ron and Freeway on the Roc-A-Fella 2002 "Paid In Full Tour" and four-years since the duo toured in support of its last studio LP Warriorz, but Billy Danze and Lil Fame haven't been resting a bit. After keeping the streets hungry last summer with their Mixtape banger, "Put It In The Air" f/Jay-Z, M.O.P. has been in the studio putting the finishing touches on three separate projects, their highly-anticipated Roc-A-Fella debut, Ghetto Warfare, and the appetizers before the impending feast, a double-CD Mixtape, Marxmen Cinema, which will impact on 6-29-04 and their rock project The Mash Out Posse which will be released on 6-08-04.

After a string of recent sold-out shows in NY, M.O.P. immediately headed into the studio with musicians from the NYC band Shiner Massive to create The Mash Out Posse; and the result is a fusion of must hear hard rock and M.O.P.'s classic sound. The Mash Out Posse LP will be released on 6-8-04 on the group's own label, Family First. And while many artists have attempted to put their own unique spin on the rock/rap hybrid, M.O.P.'s long-time producer, manager and honorary member Laze E. Laze sums up M.O.P.'s creation best "We the first to really get it right since Run-DMC and Aerosmith."

"There's nothing like an M.O.P. concert." In conjunction with the release of The Mash Out Posse LP, M.O.P. will kick off a two-month, national "Weapons Of Mic Deconstruction" tour on 5-13-04 where they will be joined by Pharoahe Monche and former Roots vocalist Scratch. M.O.P. will also be on the bill on the Linkin Park tour this summer. With numerous projects already completed, national tours about to commence, Lil Fame relishes the hectic nature of their schedule and what fans can expect from their tours; "I love the grind. You can throw on any one of our records and love it today like you loved it when you first heard it."

The Final track listing for The Mash Out Posse LP is as follows:

1) Conquerors

2) Ground Zero

3) Put It In The Air

4) Calm Down

5) Stand Clear

6) Fire

7) Hilltop Flava

8) Stand Up

9) Stress Y'all

10) Raise Hell

11) It's That Simple

12) Get The F**** Outta Here

13) Robbin' Hoodz

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
