MVDHOUSE are a recent discovery that arrived not a moment too soon. The Scarborough collective’s new video landed in my inbox a few days ago, and I was hooked from the first play. “Temp Me” is a hard-hitting, tough-as-nails banger, delivered with equal parts tenacity and playfulness. Lead off rapper Kristen sets the tone with a blistering verse, followed by a hook and a smooth 16 from 22-year-old emcee Rekast. Yasmine, a member of No Squad In The Wild and artistic collective 88 Days Of Fortune, closes things out strong, making one thing abundantly clear: the talent coming out of Scarborough is no joke.

"The inspiration came from finding yourself in certain situations, like at a party, where other people are killing the vibe,” MVDHOUSE told Complex over email. “You're constantly trying to keep from getting heated, like, ‘Don’t tempt me.’”

Watch MVDHOUSE’s video for “Temp Me” above. Stay tuned for the Scarborough collective’s debut mixtape, dropping sometime in Summer Sixteen.
