about
Winter is a time of isolated contemplation. Eventually, the weather breaks and we emerge from a frozen state of mind with a colder perspective but a warmer heart. Unless you lost a bet on the Super Bowl like Seez, then you have to dive into three feet of snow wearing nothing but shorts and a tee shirt.

Some of us winning, some of us losing.

"Winning Winter" is the 5th full-length album from Educated Consumers. After years of being labeled as the most slept on crew in indie-rap, Seez Mics and Jay Bombbeat have created the perfect sound track for your annual hibernation. The duo's signature style of sample-based beats and introspective lyricism is bolstered by guest appearances from Alpha Consumer’s Jeremy Ylvisaker, beat boxer extraordinaire Max Bent, and MC’s handpicked to reflect a dedication to expansion: Seattle’s Sadistisk, Albany’s Dezmatic and Dood Computer, and Baltimore’s Cubbiebear all lend ammunition to the snowball fight.

Educated Consumers is a two man bridge between Hip Hop’s golden eras. The duo’s critically acclaimed sound is formed from ... more the two staples of rap music: boom-bap production and externally introspective lyrics.

Jay Bombbeat provides a piece of history in every beat while Seez Mics weaves complex narratives out of detailed observations.

Track Name: Winning Winter
I lost a bet on the Superbowl.
So I had to dive in and crawl around through the snow.
Don't believe me? Believe me, there's a video.
We made it to promote march 5th, then we did the show.
Before March, there was a winter to be lived through.
Snow fell on the D.C. metropolis.
In some other cities, this wouldn't be big news.
But where I live, it felt like an apocalypse.
Not the kind with zombies and the wrath of god.
But the kind where mother nature doesn't laugh it off.
I didn't laugh at all. I saw the sky smoking a blunt.
and now I’m waiting for the ash to fall.
Traffic stalled for a few weeks.
Capital hill of snow taking up a parking space.
A couple notches on the beltway ain’t unique.
But hiring freezes get more than your heart to race.
I mean, the rats were frost bit.
They lost it, risking their lives just to make it to the office.
Exhausting caustic cold front.
Rose up through the mid-Atlantic and did it's damage.
Detective Baylor didn't expect the camera
And brought a gun to a snowball fight.
I know my rights during a seasonal mood swing:
some of us winning, some of us losing.

that broken clock's been blinking since winter
i hope it's not telling me i was born to lose
I lost my temper but found my center
winning winter so i can stay warm with you

Dez says you're beautiful little snowflakes.
I say that you're snowmobiles with no brakes.
This isn't how normal feels, it's so fake.
I need more to shovel while the Hubble hovers above us.
Lovers and haters, ever collapsing rap stars.
NASA is my backyard.
Their chain link fence couldn't contain.
The frozen rain that caused middle mad men to go insane.
I wrote her name in spray paint for Valentine's Day.
She didn't feel the same, I was out of line: hey,
A cold shoulder is nothing to new to this stoned loner
Looking for a froze over belladonna for snow blower.
Temperature lower, kill the hot streak.
They know I'm a broken clock and talk's cheap.
The homey Dave in the 'Burgh caught it after
The Mizery Crew saw the storm growing faster
As the weatherman got a lump of coal
Rambling for ratings, in another month or so
There'll be rush on gold, so put your luck on hold
Milk break and toilet paper: sold.
But uh, I gotta go- this is not for show.
I really oughta get my clock fixed before the snow
Falls and all this is washed away.
I see my breath in the air as I cry out, "Not today."
