Roseville based rap group Aliens on the Couch or A.O.T.C. is a newly emerging group that consists of Mukku$$$, Matte Black, David Codeine, DU$TY BLUNT$, MAHL, Kolean, Sunny K, and Strate Faded. The group recently released their first mixtape, Proof Of Concept, containing six songs last month and since have released three more singles and another mixtape containing just two songs.

When a few of the members began tweeting about how they were working on music we honestly thought it was a joke. But we were pleasantly surprised when we heard their songs and now actually listen to them just as much as we do any other professional music we listen to.

As friends of some of the group members, prior to the release of the first mixtape we did not think it was as serious as it is. However, we were shocked by how professional the music sounded. Everyone has  nice flow pertaining to the beat and the songs sound expertly produced: especially for it being their very first project.

The songs the group has released vary from slower, more chill songs with some singing to more upbeat raps with rapid, seemingly like never-ending, bars.

One song in particular, “Far Below Basic” feat. Matte Black and MAHL, reminds us of Chance The Rapper. The beat and singing on the track alludes to him but still maintains the unique style of the group, especially because they mention Roseville.

Some of our favorite songs include “Far Below Basic”, “H00P$” feat. Matte Black and Strate Faded, “Clear My Sinus” feat. Mukku$$$, David Codeine and DU$TY BLUNT$, 12SMD  feat. Mukku$$$ and “Kolean and No Curfew” feat. Matte Black.
