Lupe's label and He Say She Say call it quits . . .

After a brief conversation with one of the writers from Lupe Fiasco's blog we learned that He Say She Say is no longer with Lupe's label, 1st and 15th. It's not clear whether the band was dropped or if it was a mutual decision. But their manager, Derek Berry, is sure that it's for the better.

He Say She Say is an electro duo comprised of Million Dollar Mano and Drea Smith, a happenstance meeting that may have left aspiring singer/songwriter Drea a sociology teacher instead of this duo's better half. Lucky for us, though . . . she's not teaching.

They've come up with several instant hits, including single Crash Test Dummy; performed at Lollapalooza in 2009 and have shaken many an ass at tons of local dance parties throughout the city. We've watched people dance themselves into oblivion @ Sonotheque in Noble Square for the monthly Spandexxx party, and saw Drea entrance 800+ people from on top of the bar at Evil Olive for their Lollapalooza announcement party performance at the weekly REHAB party (now moved to Debonair on Milwaukee Avenue).

Despite the hype, the fact remains that now the electro duo no longer has a label backing them up. Speculation leads us to believe that it's due to inactivity. Maybe it's because half of the band is always on tour, which isn't a bad thing, per se. Just leaves less time for them to work on new material and play shows together.

Nonetheless, Derek Berry assures us that they've continued working on music and have created some tracks sure to leave their other hits in the dust. We're looking forward to it.
