Band-Aide and Scoot Dogg release their latest album “Controversy” today via Lawless Records. The duo, who are more commonly know as The HoodStarz or Dem HoodStarz unleash their new studio album “Controversy” featuring appearances from David Banner, Gucci Mane, Red Cafe, Messy Marv, Selau, Big Rich and more.
Since their debut album “Hood Reality” in 2005 The HoodStarz have been known for their party-popping high energy songs. Between the radio airplay, sold-out shows and consistent album sales, the group was encouraged to keep producing more music.
“Scoot and I were both in two different groups when we first began, but once we met in high school and found it second nature to complete each others rhymes, we knew then we were on to somethingﾅ and the people could feel it too,” explains Band-Aide.
Over recent years the duo have dropped mixtapes and performed across the globe but today are ready to drop their new 17-track LP that is laced with beats from both industry mainstays and fresh faces including David Banner, Zaytoven (Jeezy, Nicki Minaj, Gucci Mane), Erk Tha Jerk (Too $hort, San Quinn), Sean T (E-40, Juvenile), Johnny Juliano (Birdman, Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa) and D-Animals (E-40, various MTV/VH1 shows).
With the release of the album today the duo have given the single “Focus on the Money” to Dubcnn for free download below. The Johnny Juliano-produced single will have a video released this week which will be followed up with a video for the David Banner featured video “Laughin” later in the month.
