This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight's mix is the second of three odes to 2009, focusing on a wild summer -- Michael Jackson died, Alfamega got outed as an informant, Eminem came back, and the mixtape scene was becoming more prominent with notable releases. We were still a couple of months away from the XXL Freshman list, but still, the world was clearly changing; whether for the better, or not, is an ongoing debate.

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 286 (October 4, 2024): an Ode to 2009, Part 2 of 3

LA based duo TiRon & Ayomari released their first album, A Sucker For Pumps, in 2011. With features from Thundercat, Anderson .Paak, SiR and Jeremih, it became one of the standout albums of the blog era. A Sucker for Pumps was a concept album about women, men, relationships, love and everything in between. It was praised by Complex, RapGenius, XXL, LA Weekly, The Source, Life+Times, Hypetrak, and enjoyed by fans worldwide.

TiRon & Ayomari would follow their debut with 2015’s The Great New Wonderful, displaying considerable growth and a new experimental sound. The duo continued to push creative boundaries with 2017’s WET: The Wonderful Ego Trip, a counterpart to The Great New Wonderful — both explore the positive and negative sides of the human ego.

Between 2017 and 2023, TiRon & Ayomari released a handful of successful singles, while developing the sonic landscape of their upcoming album, “The Adventures Of TiRon & Ayomari."

Also doing slowed + reverb music now lol

To those of you looking for the slowed + reverb version of "Benji the Dog" by Mac Miller (RIP), it was copyright claimed after 15,000 plays. If you're desperate for the mp3, dm me here and we can work something out.
