Handsome Boy Modeling School is the brainchild of acclaimed producers Dan "The Automator" Nakamura and Prince Paul, who adopted the personas Nathaniel Merriweather and Chest Rockwell, respectively. Formed in 1999, the duo blends hip-hop, trip-hop, and electronica, creating a satirical commentary on vanity and materialism. Their debut album, *So... How's Your Girl?*, featured collaborations with artists like Del the Funky Homosapien and Róisín Murphy. The follow-up, *White People*, continued this trend with contributions from RZA, Cat Power, and Mike Patton. After a hiatus, they reunited in 2018, announcing plans for new music.
