On August 12, 2011, a 22 year old G-Eazy—fresh out of Loyola University—released The Endless Summer. The mixtape showed off G’s unique production style and timeless music taste, by sampling 60s era songs, such as the 1961 US No. 1 hit “Runaround Sue” by Dion.

These throwback samples, along with G’s laid back verses—with aspirations of living an “Endless Summer” of sorts by making music for a living—made the mixtape a hit.

Thus, he was high before he was even born.

Bravo, Mrs. MOD SUN

Notice that the word “day” can be heard in the word “dazed”.

This is also a reference to Led Zeppelin’s Dazed and Confused.

Formerly known as The Dean’s List, the Boston based trio consists of rapper/producer Aziz Francois (aka Sonny Shotz), producer Alexander Mendoza.

The Daily Orange: Why did you guys decide to change your name from The Dean’s List to The King’s Dead?

DJ Mendoza: We were never too fond of The Dean’s List. The branding caught on, but the name definitely put us in a box, and people thought we’d be making really fratty music. We’ve been evolving musically.

Sonny Shotz: The king kind of represents the mainstream and everyday way of thinking, which is kind of dead. We don’t want to write radio songs because a lot of what’s on the radio isn’t what we want to do as artists.
