Jurassic 5 - The Way We Do It

Jurassic 5 - Thin Line (Blue Version Edit)

This track is called "The People" and it features the legendary Chuck D from Public Enemy. You can download it for free at our website http://goo.gl/9DWGVZ.

The idea for the song came from a couple of samples, and the track's vibe is earnest and has a pressing tone to it.  The lyrics are commentaries of our struggles and successes, our weaknesses and strengths... the experiences... and trials and tribulations we have faced as human beings, a race, and as individuals. Lyrically Chuck brings a sense of authority and urgency. The power in his voice demands your attention. With Chuck on the track this is a dream come true for us.

Originally "The People" was suppose to drop in June around the same time the Chuck D/Hot 97/Peter Rosenberg situation took place. We chose to hold off and not add fuel to any fires. Our next aim was for a Black Friday release. Coincidentally the Ferguson tragedy took place, and more recently the non-indictment verdict. Somehow this song was destined to be a part of something more than just dropping a joint.  We hope it will lend itself to something positive in these difficult times.

We created some merchandise for this song that is for sale (The People T-Shirt & Sweatshirt). Proceeds from the merch will be donated to two organizations: All Star Code and I Love Ferguson.

All Star Code is an organization that helps under served youth make their way into the tech industry.  We've been building, strategizing, and working with developers for the past year, and we understand the importance of education in tech. We have a music tech company that we'll be launching soon called Daisy (http://daisycollective.com/).  It's important that we have more people from our community and our culture involved in this space.  We just want to do our part in making that happen and ultimately help build the future of music.    

I Love Ferguson is a organization that's helping to rebuild the town of Ferguson, MO. We feel strong about helping and supporting the small businesses that have been affected in that area.

De La Soul feat. Chuck D "The People"

Ever feel 7 foot 13 and Green? Yeah, Kool Keith does.  MMG producer L'Orange opens the gate to another realm on this new song from the upcoming Mello Music Group album "Persona."  L'Orange's Haunting vocal sample and stutter step drums prod UltraMan to contemplate just how he feels - luckily Kool Keith has no shortage of descriptors.  Sometimes Keith feels happy to stuff the ball in the basket and get two points; sometimes Keith feels rap is his puppet on strings; sometimes he's mostly jolly chillin' on the couch to poli.  The marriage of L'Orange's left of center heroine nod, prohibition era sampling, noirscape production with Kool Keith's legendary Ultramagnetic founding, creator of Billy Miligan split personality sci-fi rap - aka Dr. Octagon, aka Black Elvis, aka Dr. DOOM, aka Tashawn Dorsett, aka Crazy Lou, aka Poppa Large, aka, Keith Korg, aka Mr. Gerbik, or just plain Mr. Thronton to some, is just plain as blissful as Kanye & Kim on a motorcycle riding through the grand canyon.  The point is, let your mind wander while you listen to this new gem from L'Orange & Kool Keith.

L'Orange - Sometimes I Feel (feat. Kool Keith)

L'Orange just released a deluxe edition of "After The Flowers" on vinyl http://www.undergroundhiphop.com/lorange-after-the-flowers/MMG00062LP/ and on iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/after-the-flowers-ep/id959140884

About The Project:
In the aftermath of L'Orange's 2014 album The Orchid Days, the After The Flowers EP is a warm vignette- a glimpse info life after the end of the world. Waking up to a surreal heavenscape, our tragic figure searches for his place somewhere between life and death. 

Expanding on the themes of love and loss, L'Orange teams up with artists Chuck Inglish, Meyhem Lauren, Red Pill and producer Amerigo Gazeway to bring us a stream of consciousness epilogue to his 2014 album The Orchid Days.

L'Orange - "Stop Growing (feat. Meyhem Lauren & Billy Woods)"
