Hawthorne Headhunters has been played on NTS in shows including Touching Bass w/ Errol & Alex Rita, featured first on 20 August 2016. Songs played include Teleport and No Cryin Now, No Lyin Down.

The quartet-turned-duo of Hawthorne Headhunters came together in 2007 when rapper-producer Black Spade (aka Stoney Rock) ventured from St. Louis to Southern California in search of inspiration. While there, he formed the psych-soul outfit with producers Ced No (aka I, CED), Proh Mic and singer Coultrain, whose sometimes-wobbly vocals are a great complement to their equally bouncy production style.

In the ensuing years, which included the release of eponymous EP, Proh Mic and I,Ced left the group to focus on solo endeavors.

The Hawthorne Headhunters are at the crossroads of funk, soul, jazz and hip-hop from players already years deep in the game. The music spans these genres seamlessly blurring the lines between the Southern-influenced tastes of singer/rapper/producer Black Spade and singer/songwriter Coultrain.
