The band originally started out as Ambassadors in 2009 and released a self produced/titled EP. The EP was quickly followed up with a name change to X Ambassadors and a debut LP Litost.
The band have been gaining success and support rapidly from 2012's Love Songs Drug Songs, which was released through Interscope Records and KIDinaKORNER. 2013-2014 saw a new EP, a song get an official remix from Jay Z and a feature on Eminem's The Marshal Mathers LP 2.
Following the release of new single 'Renegades' the band have confirmed their full length debut will be tilted VHS and will be released in June.
I know it isn’t listed on the iTunes track listing, but I’d have to imagine “The Heist” is on there. They released the song on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=726PwwfqZZ4) and it is being played on commercials right now.

Can’t submit a stream yet, but this album is on iTunes First Play. https://itunes.apple.com/us/station/first-play-x-ambassadors-vhs/idra.997133227
It was ok. Certainly doesn’t deserve a 7. Strong 5 at best. Their EP was a lot better. Needs more Jamie N. Commons
See I disagree, I thought Low Life would be better without him. It feels disjointed to have someone else singing, and adds to the whole “Overproduced” feel of the album in general.
The recording quality on the leak that’s out there is terrible. If that sort of thing bugs you, I’d wait till it is released. It’s definitely a rip from the stream.
