Well, that was a fun few years. Performing solo at a German festival originally slated to feature Das Racist, Himanshu Suri blew through the following announcement with a grin on his face: "You guys wanna know the secret? Alright, so I'm gonna do some Das Racist songs, but Das Racist is breaking up and we're not a band anymore." The other rapping half of the trio, Victor Vazquez a.k.a.

Check out this short film, screened at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.
Who’s That Brooown is an 8-bit animated music video which follows the group Das Racist around New York city. Even more interesting, the video allows you to also play the game at the same time.
The Brooklyn based rap group is composed of Queens-born Himanshu Suri and San Francisco-born Victor Vazquez, joined by hype man Ashok Kondabolu, known as Dap, for live performances and in music videos. The group is known for their use of humor, obscure references, and unconventional style, which you can very well see in the video below.
Despite the fact that the group has been dismissed as joke rap, some of us believe they are instead a refreshing new voice in rap music.
