Songodsuns

Another name for <a href="spotify:artist:5wLxEotB2W1L7U4rDyTd3w">Visionaries</a> and Of Mexican Descent member <a href="spotify:artist:49CSwy5keHWbZjeUrWyBmx">2Mex</a>, Songodsuns first showed up in the mid-'90s when <a href="spotify:artist:49CSwy5keHWbZjeUrWyBmx">2Mex</a> and some friends, including DJ Nobody, got together to make a record. However, other commitments prevented an album from coming out, though a single, "Love Fights Back," was released in 1999. Finally, between incessant touring, <a href="spotify:artist:49CSwy5keHWbZjeUrWyBmx">2Mex</a> was able to enlist help from producers Sa-Ra, KeyKool, <a href="spotify:artist:7LSCBbEAuCqQqE0MGszyKl">Babu</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4pCAW6irXiPBB7nkytMrv5">Subtitle</a>, and DJ Khalil, among others, and set about recording, using the moniker Songodsuns as a way to express his interest in other forms of music besides hip-hop (he admitted to being heavily influenced by <a href="spotify:artist:6zB02lwP6L6ZH32nggQiJT">They Might Be Giants</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2ApaG60P4r0yhBoDCGD8YG">Elliott Smith</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:7bu3H8JO7d0UbMoVzbo70s">the Cure</a>). Over the Counter Culture, though it was definitely a rap album, boasted musical beats under <a href="spotify:artist:49CSwy5keHWbZjeUrWyBmx">2Mex</a>'s rough-voiced flow, and was issued on Up Above in 2005. ~ Marisa Brown, Rovi
