Low Pros are a musical duo consisting of Canadian DJ A-Trak and American hip-hop producer Lex Luger. They released their first EP, titled EP 1, on May 6, 2014.

History

[edit]

In early 2014, while on vacation in Atlanta, A-Trak met with Lex Luger. The two had several studio sessions, resulting in the first Low Pros' records.[1] Their first release, the song "Jack Tripper" was well received by critics. Consequence of Sound described it as "a sweaty, swaggering banger down to the last swift beat"[2] and Max Weinstein of Vibe called it "one hell of a recipe."[3] Low Pros' second release, "100 Bottles" was placed at number five on Consequence of Sound's Top 10 Songs of the Week in February 2014, who compared the duo to TNGHT.[4]

On March 14, 2014, Low Pros performed at the Fool's Gold Showcase at Empire Garage in Austin, Texas, during the SXSW festival.[5] After previewing several tracks during 2014, Low Pros released their debut EP on May 6, 2014, on Fool's Gold Records.[6] The seven track record features co-production from High Klassified and Brillz, and guest appearances from Young Thug, Juvenile, Travis Scott, Que and PeeWee Longway.[7]

Miles Raymer of Pitchfork described the EP as "the best kind of team-up record, where two artists with two very different aesthetics get together and find common ground by throwing everything they have against the wall."[8] The Fader commented that the EP "[finds] common ground between Luger's booming trap beats and the festival-ready electronica A-Trak excels at."[9] On May 20, 2014, OG Ron C released a chopped not slopped remix of EP 1.[10]
