South Jersey’s Ricky Rude and Los Angeles’ Glasses Malone are quite possibly hip-hop’s ‘Odd Couple’. On Ricky Rude’s new track, “Good Mood”, which samples the theme song from the classic sitcom “The Odd Couple”, the New Jersey troubadour trades bars with YMCMB’s Glasses Malone, as they tell listeners everything that puts them in a good mood. The song is a well-combined mixture of braggadocio and feel-good vibes, setting the mood for summer festivities. Ricky and Glasses are set to release a video for the song later this month. The song will also be featured on Ricky’s upcoming mixtape, “The Unprofessional Professional”.

About the project:
Put together by Quelle Chris with Cavalier and Fresh Daily; produced by Quelle Chris, Messiah Musik, and Sifu; featuring Tanya Morgan, Denmark Vessey, DJ GroWeyez, Chay, and Bwameeks; “Niggas Is Men” is a dusty, sharp cornered 13 track affair. A prelude to Quelle Chris’s upcoming Mello Music Group debut proper, NIM is a head-nodding, intoxicating journey through reincarnation, long tokes, the poisoned food supply, addiction cycles, and even hot & crusty hoes.
