MVDHOUSE

MVDHOUSE are a recent discovery that arrived not a moment too soon. The Scarborough collective’s new video landed in my inbox a few days ago, and I was hooked from the first play. “Temp Me” is a hard-hitting, tough-as-nails banger, delivered with equal parts tenacity and playfulness. Lead off rapper Kristen sets the tone with a blistering verse, followed by a hook and a smooth 16 from 22-year-old emcee Rekast. Yasmine, a member of No Squad In The Wild and artistic collective 88 Days Of Fortune, closes things out strong, making one thing abundantly clear: the talent coming out of Scarborough is no joke.

"The inspiration came from finding yourself in certain situations, like at a party, where other people are killing the vibe,” MVDHOUSE told Complex over email. “You're constantly trying to keep from getting heated, like, ‘Don’t tempt me.’”
