Ultra Beast have been one of Atlanta's most consistent underground voices since 4-IZE and Señor Kaos formalized their partnership — a duo that has built a catalog spanning Da Beatminerz, 9th Wonder, Talib Kweli and Sean Price collaborations while staying rooted in the lyricist's tradition that mainstream Atlanta rarely represents. This double-A single arrives timed to the NCAA Final Four returning to Indiana, which is exactly the kind of cultural moment Ultra Beast knows how to meet without chasing it. "All of Us" with M. Slago is the high-energy team anthem — the duo's collective ethos compressed into a track built for the moment when everything locks in. "Back to Indiana" with Floyd the Locsmif — a producer with existing chemistry with 4-IZE from the Look Into My IZE sessions — is the slower, more soulful counterpart, with Scar on the hook adding weight. Mudnoc records and mixes both, as he has throughout the Ultra Beast catalog. Two different temperatures, one coherent vision — exactly what a well-executed double-A side should deliver.
