Sometimes the best way for artists to keep pushing ahead is to remember who their people are – especially when they’re the ones they’ve known for ages and have been itching to work with from the very start. Stef Alexander and Andy Bothwell, respectively known as P.O.S and Astronautalis, have been making guest appearances on each other’s records for over ten years, and date their friendship back even further. That makes a collaborative project like Four Fists both inevitable and necessary at the same time: it’s the team-up of two of Minneapolis’ most stylistically fearless artists, both of whom simultaneously inhabit the worlds of hip-hop and indie-punk in a way that the Twin Cities music community has always welcomed. “This is something Stef and I have been working on and dreaming about since we became friends in 2004,” says Andy, who moved to Stef’s Minneapolis stomping grounds in 2011. Two years later, the first Four Fists 7″ offered up two sides of finger-clenching post-hardcore for hip-hop heads, showcasing their powers as MCs, vocalists, producers, and songwriters alike. But the span between 2013 and the new album’s creation saw a string of life changes, from Andy’s marriage to Stef’s struggles with kidney failure to the state of social justice in the world, that shifted both artists’ perspectives. Any eventual full-length Four Fists release would have to account for the artists growing from young-and-hungry firebrands into career musicians with increasingly adult outlooks. But the duo hasn’t grown complacent – in fact, 6666 pools not just their talents but their experience to create a work that bristles with a collective tension. “It’s way easier working with friends,” says Stef. “It gets your juice moving quick. I think with what’s happened with our pairing, we have little chunks of each other that don’t come out in our own music.” That freed them up to build, tear down, rework, and upend their ideas, with the guiding hand of Dutch producer/remixer Subp Yao giving them the leeway to destroy their beats in order to make them even stronger. What that gave them is a sound that bumps hard while still seething with a certain determination, building off a mutual recognition of their strengths that bolsters their resolve. You can hear it in cuts like opener “Nobody’s Biz,” a backbreaking drumline run through with entreaties to action (“It’s fucked up, we all know it baby/the question is, why the fuck we waitin’?”), or the reflective chiptune burble of “G.D.F.R.” and its attempted reckoning with how these two artists even made it to where they are. In other words, 6666 bangs, but in the service of something greater than entry-level defiance. There’s a vibe that seems to draw from the life of The Clash’s Joe Strummer, who’s namechecked more than once on the album as a young punk iconoclast growing into a reflective humanist. The protests still hold weight: cops threaten even the law-abiding, hustlers don’t do enough to spread the wealth, and there’s no point waiting for someone to save you. But amidst all the tension and anxiety that looms in the background, there’s the sense that everything runs on a secular version of the Serenity Prayer: focus on bettering the situations you can control, learn to help yourself and others in the situations you don’t, and give listeners the sounds they need to endure both. Four Fists. Four sixes, four fists, two rappers and some punchy production that’s equally space age and heavy hitting. It’s my own interpretation here, but the group name is more a reference to solidarity and kinship between rappers P.O.S and Astronautalis than it’s a statement of anger or frustration. The group is built on the fluid, and often laid-back raps of Astronautalis interacting with P.O.S’s forceful yet playful style. While many collaborations play off contrast, Four Fists fits in the Venn diagram between the two artists, complemented perfectly by production that alternates between dramatic and thoughtful beats (“Joe Strummr”) and more confrontational material like “Annihilation.” While this is something of a side project for two solo artists, it truly feels like a full-formed group. Astronautalis and P.O.S first came together for a 7” in 2013 and, with both living in Minneapolis, have a clear chemistry. They trade off verses through the album, hitting on a variety of topics with overlying themes of maturation, socio-political status, activism and a repeating homage to the late, great Joe Strummer. 6666 isn’t an album of reminiscing tracks, but one of contemplation and the ongoing search for answers. It’s about life’s challenges and getting through them. One example of the tone is “Fjortis,” which takes on youthful rebellion and pent up frustration/confusion. In another case, the closeout “Unjinxed” latches onto that alienation and reframes it from their current perspective. Fittingly, the more contemplative tracks have slower, softer beats that follow the punk template of an emphasis on the big moments: storytelling to lay a foundation and using a big hitting line here and there to accentuate the point. It’s personal, emotional, and reaching beyond artist to a larger purpose. “Joe Strummr” has a looking-to-the stars tone as the artists consider the role of activism versus day-to-day living. It’s not all laid back vibes, though. “Bobby Hill” is a heavy hitter, and “Sid Vishis” shows off the power of handing off the mic at just the right time. “Dork Court” is a fun banger to lighten the mood and to keep the head bopping amid some of the deeper thoughts. Opener “Nobody’s Biz” really masters all the styles in a single song, setting the tone for what follows. While it hits on topics from teenage vandalism, to goofing around with friends, to racism, it’s ultimately a record about the ongoing journey of finding one’s place and purpose in a chaotic society. This is a really smooth-flowing album that hits different emotions without getting stagnant or digging too deep on a single abstract idea. It’s at its best when the production leans a hair more aggressive, maximizing stereo effects and with a heavy dose of reverb, switching tones in tandem with the vocal changeups between the two rappers.

Four Fists (Astronautalis, P.O.S) Run Amok In Video For '6666' Minneapolis hip-hop duo Four Fists -- comprised of Astronautalis and Doomtree's P.O.S -- are continuing to promote the release of their 2018 full-length debut, 6666 , with the premiere of a music video for the album's penultimate title track. Directed and edited by Isaac Gale, the visual accompaniment to "6666" features the duo enjoying a seemingly carefree day of goofing off while cruising around on various vehicles and modes of transportation. Thematically in line with their previous videos for "Nobody's Biz" and "G.D.F.R.," this newest clip comes full circle -- but you'll have to watch all three to see the connection. Watch Four Fists' new video for "6666," premiering below, followed by a Q&A with P.O.S and Astronautalis. For the newcomers, can you explain how you two originally got each other's attention and why this project made sense to you creatively, in terms of what you both brought to the table that would make this work? P.O.S : We met on the 2004 Vans Warped Tour. We were both odd duck rappers on a punk tour. We had mutual friends already, but then we saw each other perform in the same rap tent. We traded music after that and it was kind of over. This record was gonna get made one way or the other -- right then, or when we were 50. Musically we’ve always drawn inspiration from the same pools. Him, usually from the prettier end; me, usually from the heavier end -- but similar tastes and styles and ideals. It’s always been easy to write together. Just hard to find the time. Astronautalis : It always felt like a natural fit. We bring great stuff out of each other when we work together. I tend to loosen up around him, and he tends to sharpen up some loose bits when he works with me, which allows us both to create stuff we probably wouldn’t have on our own. Where does Four Fists fall on your priority list among your various other projects? P.O.S : I don’t know if either of us really think in those terms. Obviously our solo careers are what we’ve worked hardest on forever. The current project is always the main focus, though. Astronautalis : For indie artists, priority is generally determined by demand. Which is why you have to keep a lot of irons in the fire, keep a lot of projects going at once. You are writing for one project, while you are touring for another project, while you are daydreaming about another project. But, if Four Fists pops off, and we have to start planning our Super Bowl halftime show, then I am sure we can put a few of those other projects on the back burner. 'Til then, we keep spinning plates. Tell me a bit about the correlation between these three videos you've released. Astronautalis : The correlation came as a by-product of the way we shot and brainstormed the video for “6666." We knew we wanted to make a video where we rode in all these modes of transportation, but we still felt like we wanted to have a reason to do so. So, a few glasses of whiskey later, there we were, making the video for “6666” -- this missing puzzle piece between the two videos we had already shot and released. So what do you two actually do when you hang out? P.O.S : Play rap shows! We are great friends, but we are both always doing or working on something. [We] have families and hobbies. So when we hang, not on tour, it’s usually at a show or a function of some kind -- or to eat and plan next rap plans. Astronautalis : Pretty much. But every so often the stars align and we end up shooting guns, or riding motorcycles, or climbing through some old, weird building. What are the plans for 2019 to keep the momentum going? P.O.S : Always cooking something, but you gotta know you can’t ever talk about the good stuff. Astronautalis : He is being coy. We are planning on cashing it all in, quitting rap and starting a new career making unboxing videos. 6666 is available to stream and purchase via Four Fists' Bandcamp.
