  8090 performs an acoustic version of Andy's song West Seattle Locked Down. Andy on guitar and vocals; Seth on cajon.

My buddy Andy Metz and I formed a hip hop duo called 8090 back in 2009 after recording several tracks together. Our first project was a concept album called A.M.P. or the Adele Mayer Project. Every song on the album had a sample from Adele or John Mayer. Our second project was a concept album called Work Music.

"Work Shirt" from the album Work Music by 8090  Directed, shot and edited by Fuzzy Gerdes and Erica Reid for FuzzyCo.  Starring: Andy Metz and Seth K. Thomas  Featuring:  Kirsten Chan  Laura Glyda  Monique Madrid  George Gabe Gonzalez  Corey Rittmaster  Denise Adan  Bella Ciao  Ramona Mourir  ViVi Valens  Eva LaFeva  Deja Sue  Laura Hugg  Fuzzy Gerdes  Jessy Lauren Smith  Special thanks to Shaun Himmerick.

  This is the music video for the track "My Life" from our 2013 album, "Work Music." The video was filmed and edited by Andy Metz and Seth Thomas. It was filmed in Chicago, Illinois.

So when I say that I’ve never heard anything like Work Music, the new release from Chicago-based duo 8090 , it’s saying something. And in the case of Work Music, it’s saying something good. With Work Music, Seth Williams and Andy Metz have crafted an ode to the 9-5. Other than Kanye West’s “Spaceship”, I can’t think of a single hip-hop track much less an entire album devoted to the workplace. Metz and Williams trade clever lines that flow well with the slew of electro beats that make up the album, taking on everything from getting paid to feeling trapped in a dead end job. It’s a different approach to an album and this conceptual idea drew me to the album. While the whole project is filled with quality music, Work Music really hits its stride with a three song stretch in the middle of the ...

She has a thin mustache that has been clearly drawn with an eyeliner pencil. The heavy make up is the only clue that this woman is in fact a woman. Next to her is a woman wearing a black dress with a black hat and a black veil that masks her entire face. JAM This is totally weird weird. ELIZABETH Hello Julian. JAM Hello Elizabeth. (to Erin) You were right. ERIN Yeah, I was. But when I said weird I was talking about Elizabeth. I have no idea what’s going on with Lady Beatrice over here. The veiled woman points to Tia. ELIZABETH We need to talk. In private. Everyone at the table looks at Tia. Tia smiles. Beat of silence as everyone continues to look at Tia. ELIZABETH That means leave. ERIN Hey.
