Miami Bass Warriors
Miami Bass Warriors EP 12-inch (Que Pasa MIA/Palm Tree Snuff)

When it comes to highlighting the unique aspects of the Magic City, few do it better than Otto von Schirach and Jose El Rey. With tongues placed firmly in cheeks, they honor Miami bass, hype Calle Ocho like it was Rodeo Drive, and refer to Ñooo Que Barato as their mecca. Teaming up with Jose's bodyguard, El Tigre, and Debbie D. -- formerly of booty bass duo Avenue D -- seemed like a natural fit.
As the Miami Bass Warriors, the quartet continues to use Miami as a source of inspiration. "Going Back to Calle Ocho" uses LL Cool J's 1989 track "Going Back to Cali" as a blueprint, turning up the bass tenfold and switching back and forth between English and Spanish -- the way most of us who grew up here feel comfortable speaking. "Bro, That Chick's a Basser" and "Breakfire" only reinforce the group's love of hometown bass. In "Basser," Debbie D. coos, "I love the bass/When it's deep/And I ain't getting in that car/If I can't feel it in the seat." Not to worry, we definitely feel it. -- Jose D. Duran
