Once each year thousands of tourist pour in to New Orleans by whatever means available to them, to witness or take part in Mardi Gras. If you check history deep enough, you'll find it was born out of a religious cause, but all that has been forgotten now, because Mardi Gras is a time of reckless abandonment, of merriment.
Into that abandonment slips one S. Habib, still dusting airplane peanuts off his jacket and looking for a light, and elespee eloheem, long time resident and fixture of the crawfish circuit. Together, they figure they can handle whatever this crazy town throws at them.
Vieux Carre. Sleepy by day, psychedelic by night. Some call it the birthplace of the blues, soul, and jazz, being nurtured on a street they call Bourbon, like one of the many drinks that can be had there if your pocket is filled with the right kind of coin. But these guys have a different kind of music in mind.
Produced (by NOLA underground hip hop producer of the year award winner Prospek, and Inner Recess's own Dubla) and recorded in the seven days surrounding Mardi Gras 2011, Se7en is a smooth cruise around the crooked streets of the Crescent City.
