Aspektz 7th Inning Stretch- The Mixtape ("Going Down")

Any time you mix the wild antics of Kenny Powers (Eastbound & Down) with the shenanigans of Aspektz (True Thorobredz), you’re guaranteed to make a shit ton of memories too good to be remembered!

HBO, Miller High Life and True Thorobredz are excited to announce the release of the 7th Inning Stretch – The Mixtape, derived from the wildly successful Eastbound & Down HBO series (written by Danny McBride and Will Ferrell).

To coincide with last Sunday's Season 2 Premier of Eastbound & Down we let go of the initial leak from Aspektz 7th Inning Stretch- The Mixtape ("Going Down" - download here), now with episode number 2 set to air this Sunday night at 10:30PM (EST), throw a case of Miller High Life in the fridge and kick your feet up for the second leak from the 7th Inning Stretch "Kiss The Sky": Download now

The 7th Inning Stretch boasts a collection of samples from the season one soundtrack and includes a narrative from Coach F*cking Powers himself, remixed and tuned up to ensure your neighbors won’t miss a damn second of the action. Experience the belligerence of Kenny, Stevie Janowski, April Bigcannons and the rest of the crew all over again every time you press play. Combining classic rock songs with the boom-bap sound of the golden era, HBO, Miller High Life and the True Thorobredz will make the entire 7th Inning Stretch mixtape available on October 3rd, 2010 through all Aspektz websites.
