Jason the Argonaut Lazerus Jackson |
Disflex6 is an American hip hop duo formed in 1996,[1] consisting of Lazerus Jackson and Jason the Argonaut.[2] The group was a notable pioneer in the "multiracial world of the San Francisco underground hip hop scene."[3] The group's unique dark, mellow, avant-garde style of hip-hop garnered international appeal in particular,[4] and they built on that through releases on European-based labels.[5]
History
Disflex6 was scheduled to release a space-themed, concept album Robot Dreams but the deal with Lex Records fell through and they were left looking for a new home.[5] The duo released Slow Burn on Twenty Four Seven Records in 2007,[6] and The Loopholes Project on Sunset leagues International in 2008.[7]
