now thats a mainey looking monkey.
The bald uakari (Cacajao calvus) is a small, arboreal New World monkey native to a small, broken range in Brazil and Peru in seasonally flooded forests of the Amazon River Basin. They eat nuts and hard, unripe fruit that other primates are unable to access thanks to their powerful jaws. 67% of their diet consists of these seeds and nuts, followed by fruit and flowers, with occasional animal prey (5%). They are also known to take insects that they encounter, but they don’t actively seek them as a food source.
Their distinctive red faces are due to both a lack of pigmentation and the presence of many capillaries beneath the surface of the skin. Sickly uakaris are therefore dramatically more pale, signaling potential mates to what could be poor genetics. The breeding period is between October and May, and females attract males with scent that signals her readiness to mate.
The IUCN lists the bald uakari as Vulnerable due to habitat loss and hunting. Due to their specific habitat needs and limited range, deforestation is particularly damaging.

➜ SPIN MAGAZINE: 50 Mixtapes You Need Now (2011)
Feast or Famine made it on SPIN’s list of top 50 mixtapes of the year (#13). This means a lot to me, obviously, bc this shit was my baby, and it’s like he grew up and won a kung-fu tournament. We spent a lot of time writing, producing, recording, mixing, and mastering this EP. I know, it was only 8 songs, but fuck you…this shit played out like an album. Me, Ammbush, & DaVinci don’t make single songs…we make albums. That’s just our thing. If you like one song in particular, that’s cool, but this was meant to be listened to holistically in one sitting.
Main Attrakionz’s 808s & Dark Grapes II also made the list at #29. Should’ve been a lot higher if you ask me, this was my favorite Green Ova release yet. Biased? Yea, bc Ammbush mixed it and I mastered it, but the music is the best music Squadda and Mondre have created so far in my opinion.
Anyways, San Francisco and Oakland rappers in SPIN Magazine. Mainey.
