Nü Religion: Hyena displays their fusion of hip-hop and R&B meshed with rock sensibilities and guided by their devotion to shift the sonic paradigm: a new religion to redeem music's faithful. The 14-track "Book of Hyena" contains the three tracks from their acclaimed Nü Religion EP, as well as the four tracks - "Say When," "Deep End"," "What You Want," and "U-RITE - that have surfaced in the months leading up to the release.

With award-winning production and songwriting solo work with other artists, the pair by way of Denver and DC met in Los Angeles in the summer of 2013 through a mutual friend and immediately clicked on their eclectic tastes. Under the guidance of mentor Timbaland, THEY. started to meld their diverse musical background to create their "grunge'n'b" sound.

Following their hit collaboration with Skrillex and Mind of a Genius friend and label mate ZHU "Working For It," THEY. dropped their 3-track Nü Religion EP which has racked up tens of millions of streams on Soundcloud and Spotify. The EP would lead to an opening slot on Bryson Tiller's worldwide "T R A P S O U L" tour, a performance on the Pigeons & Planes stage at the inaugural ComplexCon, and touring with PARTYNEXTDOOR and Jeremih for their "Summer's Over" tour.
