The AG Music Group strikes again with our latest single Midnite.  A nod to the sexy, late-night releases from Naked Music artists like Blue Six, Lisa Shaw and Aya blended with a pinch of jazz from The Rurals camp.

Purchase exclusively on Bandcamp now, soon to be available on major streaming sites.  Stay tuned.

01. Midnite

2010- The Armchair Generals met Rap Dirty in a dark & magical venue, "Viento Y Agua", an art house club in the LBC. Ms. Dirty, her fine ass putting pen to pad; didn't know who we were, or that we just took the stage.

The Dirty Rapper sauntered herself towards a coffee pot for a refill, when her ears stopped her feet!.... Girl' was locked into our AG vibe for the rest of the show.;)

AG's left the stage smokin'! RD chatted us up, told us she raps & asked if she could rock the mic with the AG's! Unfortunately, there were too many folks lined up to get next ;/

Time & chance happen to us all. It's 10+ years later, in fact, when a worldwide pandemic reignited our red hot reconnection. We emailed her a couple a' tracks, and ...nothin; didn't hear from her for quite some time.

However, as the lockdown took hold of the world, The Dirty One emailed us back with a complete, beautifily written song , press release, a reference track, and a heavily pixelated photo of Dirty Rapper naked on a bed; with the iconic facemask.

The Dirty Princess' press release mentioned the phrase "dirty mind" at its conclusion... An "ah-ha" moment to be sure. The AG's are familiar with Prince's albums. His blend of lovesexy music and Rap Dirty's vibe were the live connection: indeed.

Back to the Lab, OsO and Bebo was puttin' in that WORK, pumping out beats left and right, with the reference track in mind. Oso eventually came up with the tune, and produced the music for Fatima, tapping into some crazy dubby trap vibes. U know what we do goddammit;)

Rap Dirty in the AG recording studios- She was a one-take wonder! Knocking out her bars and melodies without breaking a sweat.
Impressed, we recorded it all and immediately commenced pre/post editing . The whole track was finished pretty quickly, but we felt like something was missing...a soloing instrument!

Rewind time, pre-pandemic era, while OsO was hanging out in Downtown Long Beach at The Wine Bar he stumbled upon Alex Rodriguez. Alex is a multi-instrumental talent and was doing a show with a bunch of instruments and a looping pedal. The music sounded so full even though he was party of one. After the show, they exchanged info and would later connect on this recording during the pandemic. His layered, lush guitar work completely elevates the vamp-out part of the song, making you feel like you're listening to it with clouds for headphones. It is always a pleasure running into a fellow traveler and actually making something of it.

Back to... the pen of Rap Dirty herself...

“FATIMA” is about a woman who takes you inside her bisexual wet dream. It’s a nonlinear subconscious creation of a woman’s lust to have a sexual encounter with a male and a female, the dream of a Menage A Trios! It’s a fun and sing-along song, a unique parody of itself.

Looking forward to the evolution of Rap Dirty’s music & a peek inside her dirty mind! Stay tuned for the Dirty Mind EP.

We don't sample the way most do as you will hear on this D'Angelo flipper.  Also snagged a bit of Major Harris for the main melody line.  Hope your week is off to a good start.  Thanks for listening.

Send It On AG REMIX

Lost another heater recently.  I was introduced to Gal Costa on a trip to Brazil in 2001.  It was the last day of the trip and I was in Sao Paolo staying with my friend Diego's uncle Souza.  We were in his basement going through his record collection and stumbled on Meu Bem Meu Mal.  I was floored and ended up recording the song so that I wouldn't forget.  Rest in Power Gal.  Obrigado.

Threw our helmets in the ring for this Rose Gold "Addicted" remix contest.  We did two versions, but this one felt more authentic to us.

Dirty Jobs

Rap Dirty - Dirty Jobs

60's "psychedelic-shack" guitar, slow sensual beat, fluttering flute, and flowing vocals reminiscent of a sexy Sade' ballad. 

...Calling these guitar riffs "smooth" may be forgiven as a serious understatement. Think of "Scandalous" or "Insatiable" by Prince.  Sexy, brooding, ....A haiku poem of this track might read as such....[Relaxing with someone sexy...Champagne & Rose-petals float like lotus blossom...

The AG Generals first album project.  A largely electronic album with a collage of beat poet samples, quirky themes, house music jams U hip hop foolishness....it's like a musical burrito:^)

The Blueprint

As typical, been stewing on this concept over the past year and the various potential songs that could work. The concept is simple yet unexplored for some reason: pairing up dope beats / instrumentals with rappers / vocalists.  This is simple in that it happens all the time with remixes, but usually its the artists own beats.  In this case, I am just a music archeo that comes across so many gems in my endeavors that I felt a call to action.  Hope you feel it.

Church in the Wild Remix- Duke Hugh X Jamiroquai

One of the few good things to emerge from this Quentin Quarantino period has been the ability for us to upgrade our software and spend time watching tutorials to expand our knowledge.  This collection of works is a return to the original essence for us.  When we created the "Lunchbox" album both Bebo 6 and I had recording studios that we would use to ping pong tracks back and forth to one another.  Happy to say that we are back to this production model and these 9 tracks are the proof of concept.  This is all Bebo 6 on production using the newly tooled Reason 11 software.  Enjoy!

The Armchair Generals are a 4 piece pocket band out of Southern Cali.  Our sound is a fluctuation between hip-hop, deep house, r&b and downtempo.  Band members are: Oyani 9 (Pernicia Jordan) - Bass and Lead vocals, Bebo 6 (Ray Comer) - Drums and Production, Osoosi 7 (Aaron Elimelech) - Keys, Vocals and Production, and Danny V - MPC sampler.  We would love to collab with artists, videographers, film makers, and other creative types in this universe.
