In the underground scene, many MC and hip-hop enthusiasts are hip to Stu Bangas & Vanderslice. The dynamic production duo has been known for years as a master diggers, sifting through samples and providing artists with beats with flair and gusto. Now, the team links with a motley crew of rappers to release a 17-track album Diggaz With Attitude. Lurking in the dark shadows, with the things that creep in the night, the Brutal Music team of Stu Bangas & Vanderslice work to create their musical madness. Vanderslice, who has long since been a “digger” for the stars and Stu Bangas, who has been a big part of Boston’s recently burgeoning hip-hop scene, first came together to produce the now-acclaimed Blaq Poet Society, an album with Screwball MC Blaq Poet. In the process, the production duo joined forces with indie label Man Bites Dog Records, and are now prepping their latest project, Diggaz With Attitude, or D.W.A. for short. Individually, Stu Bangas & Vanderslice have produced for a who’s-who of underground favorites, a list that includes Sean Price, Apathy, Vinnie Paz, Ill Bill, Copywrite, and Heltah Skeltah, among others. For D.W.A., Stu & Vanderslice enlisted a number of those same artists, in addition to Roc Marciano, The Alchemist, Evidence, and more.
