| WatchTheDuck delivers their highly anticipated new EP, The Trojan Horse. Out now on DIM MAK / Epic Records, the seven-track project is available for purchase on iTunes here and for streaming on Spotify here. To celebrate the release, the group has teamed up with viral popping sensation Dytto to put out a visual for the project’s infectious lead single “Making Luv to the Beat (feat. T.I. and DJ E-Feezy).” Watch the captivating dance interpretation here.
The Trojan Horse finds the duo at the peak of their creative prowess. Filled with genetic energy, booming bass, thumping beats, and soulful melodies, WatchTheDuck has created a unique sound that is as familiar as it is fresh and unique. Executive produced by friends and collaborators T.I. aka Tip, Pharrell Williams, Tricky Stewart and Steve Aoki, the EP features seven brand-new songs, including “Making Luv To The Beat,” which premiered on TheFader.com. The duo recently shared the second single, “Don’t Blame Luv (feat. T.I.)” via Complex and the instant classic “Stretch 2-3-4 (feat. Pharrell Williams)” via Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 radio show and Billboard.com. Additional album guests include Afrojack, ScHoolboy Q and Candice Pillay. The Trojan Horse builds on the group’s already stellar catalogue, which includes the previously released Black Music On Molly REmixtape, Anatidaephobia EP and the critically acclaimed Don’t Watch Me mixtape.
On Monday, November 23rd, DIM MAK will team up with HUSTLE GANG and I am OTHER to host the official release party for The Trojan Horse in Hollywood, CA. WatchTheDuck will perform live alongside friends and some very special surprise guests. RSVP Here.
“We call it The Trojan Horse because it is a way for us to gather all our friends, the artists we love, and literally sneak into culture with a sound that combines worlds,”
says WatchTheDuck.

Known for their innovative fusion of thumping electronics, soulful melodies and trap-inspired beats, WatchTheDuck is the brainchild of duo Jesse Rankins (vocalist—A.K.A. “The Voice”) and Eddie Smith III (producer/DJ—A.K.A. “The Sound”). While demolishing genre boundaries and setting new benchmarks in today’s music scene, WatchTheDuck has experienced critical acclaim due to their fresh perspective on production and songwriting smarts, which has earned them the support of influential figures as diverse as Tip, Aoki and Williams. |
