DJ Nu-Mark, Slimkid3 (formerly of The Pharcyde) and newcomer Austin Antoine joined forces as TRDMRK last year. Now, the talented trio has unleashed their debut self-titled EP.

Boasting seven tracks, the project includes the previously released single “Hands Up” and demonstrates the individual strengths of each member. Nu-Mark is a titan on the turntables, Slimkid3 delivers his bars with the precision of the veteran MC he is and Austin brings the excitement of a fresh voice.

“We made it official with Austin Antoine because our whole thing was we were trying to create a super group,” Slimkid3 told HipHopDX last month. “We didn’t have all the parts yet. What wound up happening is, Austin Antoine and I did a song called ‘Double Lief.’ It’s on YouTube. It’s a really dope song. It’s produced by LA Jay, who is one of my production partners for a lot of Pharcyde stuff like ‘She Said’ and ‘Otha Fish.’

“He’s my right-hand-man. He’s my ears when I can’t hear. Man, he’s the one. He’s the one, man. Seriously. He fine tunes everything. He’s good. He’s the best production chef that a man could have, really. He brought on Austin Antoine, LA Jay did. And then, I brought Austin to Nu-Mark and that sealed the deal because Austin is just a beast. He’s just amazing. He’s a super beast.
