After releasing the funky single "Hoodrich Disco," Toro Y Moi and Rome Fortune reunite for a six song joint project titled, Toro Y Rome Vol. 1.
Toro Y Moi and Rome Fortune have officially delivered a soundtrack for the summer with their new project, Toro Y Rome Vol. 1. The two of them have previously connected on Toro's "Pitch Black" off of Samantha. Since then, the two of them haven't worked together. Their latest project is a refreshing body of work that blends Rome Fortune's eclectic sound with Toro Y Moi's production. Rome has always been able to marry trap and electronic without making it sound corny and this project proves his versatility as an artist.
We're still waiting on the release of Pimpstar Popstar but this should hold us over until the EP drops.
