Mullage

Mullage are a Dirty South hip hop and contemporary R&B duo, comprised of the rappers B Boi and B Town. The group’s name is portmanteau of the phrase ‘musical collage’.
Although both originally from Atlanta, Georgia, the members B Boi (who comes from the southwest) and B Town (who comes from College Park) didn’t meet until they served together overseas in the US Navy in the mid-2000s. They quickly realised they shared a common passion for hip hop music and, despite being stationed on different naval ships, they soon began to perform together at military events. They even managed to find the time record a couple of tracks for a demo tape!
They both secured their release from the Navy in 2008 and moved back to Atlanta with one aim in mind – to make it as a hip hop duo. After discovering their own unique sound – a kind of smooth R&B infused hip hop that earned them many favourable comparisons to the Grammy Award-winning American hip hop duo OutKast – they began to perform at local venues, including at the legendary Blue Flame Lounge. As a result of popular live performances like these, the group were signed to the local independent label From The Ground Up Records (with support from Jive Records) in 2009, and immediately began work on their debut studio album.
The duo released their first single Trick’n in May 2009. It was a moderate success, reaching number 35 on the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, and catapulted the group into the limelight. They have also debuted a number of other hip hop and R&B tunes on their MySpace page, including Never Fall, Forever Yours, No Strings Attached, GOOD LUV and Life Like a Party (ft. Fatigue), though none have been officially released to date.
Mullage’s debut studio album is due for release sometime in late 2010/early 2011.
