Vangarde is an emcee-producer duo made up of Mr. Lif & Stu Bangas. The two dropped a self-titled 11-track LP.

Among the songs on Vangarde is “The New Normal”. This is a politically and socially conscious take on the events of 2020. The duo enlisted filmmakers Burcu Ozturk and Thanasis Armagos for the cinematic accompanying video.

“The New Normal” is old-school hip-hop consistent with the current times. Listen and check out the rest of the songs on the album; Vangarde (also available on Bandcamp) features Murs, Akrobatik, Eternia, Bluprint, Reef the Lost Cauze, Blacastan and Puma Ptah.
