Acclaimed VA-based production crew Team Demo continue their
incredible hot streak of the past few years with a hard-hitting new
album, It’s a Demo, which co-stars Brooklyn’s own Wais P who lyrically
contributes to the lion’s share of the tracklist. Standing at ten new tracks
of end-to-end bangers and slick lyricism, the LP boasts a momentous
roster of guest appearances that include the likes of Method Man,
Skyzoo, Rome Streetz, Planet Asia, Ras Kass and Yogi (of The Cru),
amongst others.
What’s even more impressive about this project is that it arrives on the
heels of another Team Demo release, this past spring’s The Essential
Team Demo LP. The album served as a reintroduction of sorts for the
crew and it compiled previously released tracks from their 12” singles
and full length projects—all remastered.
And the leading man is no slouch either, as Wais has dropped a blitz of
new releases that includes his recent Pimp Grease LP—produced
entirely by the legendary Dame Grease. That LP also falls on the heels
of five solo projects that he’s released since 2020; Chinchilla, PV$$Y
RICH, T.A.P.A.S. 1 & 2, SUNOVA, and the recent Hans Gruber EP with
Pete Twist.
On top of that, both Team Demo and Wais P are doing this all
independently, which they can both admit is challenging, but well worth
it. “Doing this independently is a lot harder than people think, but is also
more rewarding,” Team Demo says. “Betting on yourself is always the
best bet.”
Team Demo kicks off the producer compilation with the extra grimy
“Quest Love Bounce,” which in addition to guest appearances from
lyrical heavyweights Skyzoo and Planet Asia, finds both Wais and Yogi
reunited once again after their recently released high season heater,
“Timbs in the Summer.”
As for Wais, he wanted to shout out his personal favorite, “Creep” which
pairs Montage One with the illustrious MC Eiht. “It's got such an
authentic old-school and West Coast vibe,” he says. Other standouts
include “Camera Flash (feat. Illa Ghee, Wais P & Method Man)” and
“What You Don’t See (feat. Lil Fame of M.O.P. & Nems).” ... morePurchasable with gift card$7 USD or more

about
Team Demo continue their incredible hot streak of the past few years with a hard-hitting new album, It’s a Demo, featuring raw production and dope guest features. The legendary DMV production crew is joined by the likes of Method Man, Skyzoo, Rome Streetz, Planet Asia, and Ras Kass for a record full of banging beats and slick lyricism.
What’s even more impressive about this project is that it arrives on the heels of another Team Demo release, this past spring’s The Essential Team Demo LP. It served as a reintroduction of sorts for the crew and it compiled previously released tracks from their 12” singles and full length—all remastered. On top of that, they’re doing it all independently, which Team Demo admits is challenging but well worth it. “Doing this independently is a lot harder than people think, but is also more rewarding,” Team Demo says. “Betting on yourself is always the best bet.”
And with It’s a Demo, Team Demo is blessing hip-hop heads with an all-killer, no-filler project that kicks off with the grimy “Quest Love Bounce,” which in addition to guest appearances from lyrical heavyweights Skyzoo and Planet Asia, find both Wais and Yogi reunited once again after their recently released high season anthem, “Timbs in the
Summer.”
They both appear on Team Demo’s favorite track, the grimy “Quest Love Bounce,” which features none other than Skyzoo and Planet Asia, too. As for Wais, he wanted to shout out “Creep” with MC Eiht and Montage One. “It's got such an authentic old-school and West Coast vibe,” he says. Other standouts include “Camera Flash (feat. Illa Ghee, Wais P & Method Man)” and “What You Don’t See (feat. Lil Fame of M.O.P. & Nems).”
