Hello World Contributors: Xrabit, DMG$, Damaged Good$, Trak Bully, Coool Dundee Label: Big Dada US Release Date: 2009-03-17 UK Release Date: 2009-03-16'We gon' turn the world onto some Dirty South shit,' chants Coool Dundee, one half of texas duo DMG$ (formerly known as Damaged Good$) in the hook to 'Dirty South'. It's the penultimate track on Hello World, and as a mission statement, it works pretty well. The problem is, it's a lie.On Hello World, DMG$ teams up with German producer Xrabit for 13 tracks of future-leaning hip-hop, and there's plenty to be found on the album to recommend it. Of particular note is the fantastic production from Xrabit himself, who can turn some seriously old-school samples into something perfectly contemporary ('Follow the Leader') or he can create something that might be described as glitch-disco out of nothing much at all ('Are We Friends').What doesn't hold up is the rapping, which relies too much on pop-culture references and one-liners.
While a line like 'I'm so dope / Call me Amy Winehouse' piss test' is cute and worth cracking a smile over, it's already dated. While I'm thrilled to hear 'Thundercats - Ho!' At the beginning of 'Thunderkats', it's unfortunate that it had to be turned into a booty anthem. It's well-delivered, but none of it is memorable.
Check Hello World for the beats, but don't be surprised if you don't remember a word that the boys of DMG$ say.

Boomkat Product Review:Colorful hiphop irreverence from Big Dada's recent signings Xrabit and MC duo DMG$. Producer Xrabit is an odd quantity, a hiphop head from Berlin currently residing in London and making a screwy brew of Southern flavoured hiphop with strands of booty, electronica and disco reminding us of a cut price stoner blokes version of Yo!
DMG$ are Texan rap duo Trak Bully and Coool Dundee and their producer Xrabit is from Berlin and based in London, 'Hello World' indeed.
Majesty crossed with Modeselektor. The project's voices Trak Bully and Coool Dundee come from deepest Texas, bringing a fruity taste of the regions medicated rhyme styles with slack but wittily referential lyrics unconcerned with sounding like any of the big 'dawgs'. Bright, colorful and in a world of it's own, this is hiphop from the outer edges of the party.
