	Video: MHz Legacy – "Gone" (Behind The Scenes)	09.12.2012


	First Official Single To Be Released Next Week; MHz Legacy Gives Fans Early Video Preview

The Video: Earlier this month, MHz Legacy announced an October 30th release date for their forthcoming self-titled album. On the album, rapper's Copywrite, Tage Future, and Jakki Da Motamouth, along with in-house producer RJD2, will finally deliver the long-awaited official group album that fans have been waiting for since MHz first hit the scene in the late-'90s. Influential member Camu Tao, who passed in 2008 away following a battle with lung cancer, will also maintain a heavy presence on the album, with a number of never-before-heard verses appearing on a number of songs. MHz Legacy recently released the album's track list, and with it, unveiled an impressive list of guest rappers and producers that will be featured on the project – names like Danny Brown and Harry Fraud ("Spaceship"), Blu ("Yellow & Blue"), ILL BILL & Slaine ("Addictionary"), Slug of Atmosphere ("Satisfaction"), Oh No, Marco Polo, !llmind, and more. Next week, MHz Legacy will release the debut single and video from MHz Legacy, for the Surock-produced track "Gone." The crew was in Richmond, Virginia, last week to shoot the video, and while on location, video director R.M.L. was able to grab some lighthearted behind-the-scenes footage. From the looks of this clip, the video should be endlessly entertaining, as Copywrite, Tage Future, and the crew channel their inner-child, riding around in go carts, traversing the city by Segway, and even getting loose on a nearby moon bounce. Also, while on the shoot, *The Collegian, the local school newspaper from the University Of Richmond, stopped by to chat with Man Bites Dog* label founder R.M.L., along with Tage Future and Copywrite, who puts his lyrical dominance on display and closes the video out with an impressive freestyle.

The Background: For over a decade, the Columbus, Ohio, artists that originally formed to make up MHz, rappers Copywrite, Camu Tao, Tage Future, and Jakki Da Motamouth, along with producer RJD2, have been some of the most influential and revered in the underground scene. But despite their impressive and varied solo careers, to date, the super crew has only released one album, 2001's *Table Scraps, largely a collection of loosies and rare b-sides. MHz suffered a major setback in 2008 when Camu Tao, one of the most quietly influential rappers in the 00s, passed away after a two year battle with lung cancer. In his memory, MHz came back together to re-release Table Scraps* via then upstart hip-hop label Man Bites Dog Records. Since then, MHz has been working on an official group debut and now, having changed their name to MHz Legacy in honor of Camu Tao, the group is prepping the release of their self-titled album. The album, being released October 30th via Man Bites Dog Records, includes features from Danny Brown, Blu, Slug (of Atmosphere), ILL BILL, Slaine, and Oh No, and joining in-house producer RJD2 behind the boards will be Harry Fraud, Marco Polo, Stu Bangas, Illmind, and others. In memory of Camu Tao, the album will also feature a number of never-before-heard Camu Tao verses from the vaults. About Man Bites Dog Records: Passionate about music and with an ear for discovering great talent, RML formed Man Bites Dog Records in 2005 in Northern Virginia, a few short miles from Washington DC. In an area dominated by GoGo Music, it was the goal of MBDR to offer an avenue for local hip-hop talent. The label quickly grew beyond the confines of the local scene, however, as MBDR began to release project from the likes of Copywrite, Vast Aire, and others. Since then, it has been MBDR's goal to sign artists who create classic music - music that stands the test of time - in genres ranging from underground New York hip-hop to funky pop. Currently, MBDR's roster includes Killah Priest, Copywrite, Vast Aire, MHz Legacy, Jakki da Motamouth, Stu Bangas & Vanderslice, Esoteric, Wais P, Bronze Nazareth, Crimison Gods, Kount Fif, Empuls, Last Bison, Jason Rose, Brink, Red Mud, Sinista Daniro, Dom, Jay Notes, and The Swashbuckler.
