Pairing Tampa shock-hop duo Yo Majesty and UK dance punks Does It Offend You, Yeah? is an inspired idea — if only because the latter's question comes up for members of both bands (especially Yo Majesty's frequently topless ladies). After crashing onto the dirrrty club scene with 2006's Yo EP and a series of illicit live shows, Shunda K and Jwl. B signed with Domino in 2007. Matched by hard, sleazy production from electro duo HardfeelingsUK, their raps are fast, femme, and suggestive. Reading quartet DIOYY?, meanwhile, are known for their similarly raucous gigs, a fact rightly underscored by the title of their debut: You Have No Idea What You're Getting Yourself Into.
