Dance! Rye Rye, Isis from Thunderheist, and RaTheMC are 3 burgeoning emcees that will have you up and on the floor, getting your groove on.

Rye Rye hooked up with M.I.A. in Baltimore (2:12 interview 2:07 part II where they discuss meeting).
RaTheMC teamed up with Judah (9:28 interview).
Isis Salam worked with Grahm Zilla (4:06 interview) - they are Thunderheist.
And of course, Twitter accounts for them except the youngest of the three, who is on myspace.

Great post. I've been so out of touch with music the last couple of years and this is hella on point.

YSStOG: I love that video! Damn you for beating me to post it! They played the IHEARTCOMIX showcase at SXSW this year. Good stuff.

Just saw Thunderheist last week and was really disappointed :/

This is the second time I've read something claiming they are great live and I have to wonder if I missed something. (or maybe it's a case of them being on my lawn)

discovered thunderheist about a month ago here and I've got to admit I'm a bit addicted. 'Jerk it' just sticks in your head, it's worse than Yelle (who's amazing btw)
