THE NEW YORK TIMES LOVES DUDE N NEM AND SO WILL YOU - IN MANDARIN?

Hilarity is arguably what Chicago duo, Dude N Nem, are best known for; from their zany presentation to the irreverence of their lyrical content (watch this video for McDonalds if you don't believe me) and this current offering is no exception. Sounds Sexy, the hit follow-up to their international smash debut, Watch My Feet, is now available in no less than ten languages, including Hindi, Arabic and Mandarin, proving indeed that no woman anywhere is off limits. In fact, follow our intrepid duo around China on their search for a Chinese strip club - these guys are equal opportunity mack daddies.

All versions of the Sounds Sexy song are available by visiting http://www.soundssexy.com

If this all seems a little outrageous, well, that's okay because The New York Times (11/20) labelled Dude N Nem's recent album release, Tinted Incubators, as "outrageously good......." Here is Jon Caramanica's full review.

Dude ’N Nem

Two years after its release Dude ’N Nem’s “Watch My Feet” sounds no less bizarre: mystic lyrics by rappers Trygic and Upmost over a beat that starts out lumbering, then switches to a quickstepping burner drawn from Chicago’s spastic juke-house scene. Notably, it’s not even in the Top 5 oddball songs on “Tinted Incubators” (Beat Bangers/The Orchard), this group’s outrageously good debut album: “Stay With Me” sounds like a Biz Markie outtake, and “McDonalds” is among the great comic rap love songs in recent memory. It’s all so colossally and fabulously weird that it practically sounds foreign. And maybe somewhere that’s not here is where Dude ‘N Nem, barely known outside of Chicago, will play best. The group at least seems willing to try: on iTunes, the maxisingle of “Sounds Sexy” has versions in 10 languages, including Italian, Hindi and Arabic.
