Philly Duo, Dumb Ugly, Debut "Casket" LP



Philly Sensation, Dumb Ugly announce the release of their debut album “Casket”, available on all major streaming platforms.

Biz Mighty and Aayu deliver an unorthodox multi-genre fused album brimming with insanely thumping beats, psychedelic pulsations, and riveting cadences. This album is set to unleash that ravenous monster inside all of us.

(Throw Dat).” The duo even includes a twisted love song titled “Ewe” about a man who becomes influential through all the mind games gunned his way.

The leading single off the album “Stay Dead” triggers thought provoking read between the lines, and caution tape scenarios that occur regularly in communities brimming with corruption and conceit.  Watch “Stay Dead” below and stream “Casket” above.
