Los Angeles, CA- December 2, 2014 - GRAMMY Nominated renaissance man Mayer Hawthorne and GRAMMY Nominated producer Jake One (Drake, Snoop Dogg, Fun.) team up to release their self-titled debut album Tuxedo (Stones Throw Records) on March 3, 2015. The duo unveiled the cover art + track listing today and recently gave fans a sneak peek of the upcoming funk record with the video for "Do It," PRESS HERE<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-gcfQhR_9c> to watch. You can now pre-order Tuxedo on iTunes and receive an instant download of "Do It," PRESS HERE.<https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/tuxedo/id946559925>

Tuxedo is Mayer Hawthorne (Aquarius) and Jake One (Taurus). They are descendants of the one-word moniker family of funk, where you will find such groups as Chic, Shalamar and Zapp.

The Tuxedo collaboration began with an exchange of mixtapes back in 2006. The fruits of a long-standing kinship were three tracks that mysteriously showed up on Internet doorsteps nearly two years ago. In between personal projects, these three tracks became a full album's worth of Tuxedo. The album was mixed by original disco don dada John Morales at his home studio in South Plainfield, New Jersey. "I flew out there," Mayer says. "His wife made me spaghetti and everything."

The duo is excited to release the upcoming album on Stones Throw Records, which also marks Mayer's return to the label since his debut release of A Strange Arrangement in 2009. Until then, stay classy.
