About the Album:
Enter those bloody alleys blocked off with yellow tape and chalk outlines. Secret backrooms riddled with sly crooks and blunt smoke. Slink into the underworld, the seedy shadowland owned by Jeremiah Jae and L’Orange on their noir-hop opus, "The Night Took Us In Like Family."

Consider it the alchemy of Madvillain and "The Maltese Falcon": a five-part fable of tangled crimes, narrow escapes, and raining lead. The door busts open with “A Conspicuous Man.” L’Orange’s carefully severed cinematic clips hold the frame steady. The Windy City-raised Jae muscles the narrative forward—the hitman creeping.

Beats bend sinister with imagery aiming for the temples. Jae invokes dark clouds, crowns of thorns and LSD eyes. Bars written in dirt. Samples are disembodied and ethereal. It’s like a grand jury indictment doubling as a Greek chorus.  A song title like “Ice Obsidian” says it all. This is frozen lava, black and white celluloid, the spoils won by sinners. Watch your back rap.

Or maybe it’s the hip-hop version of the gangster flicks made before the Hays Code—raw and uncensored, deeply artful without pretension. Pitchfork once described Jae as: “a lot of people talk loud and say nothing; Jeremiah Jae finds strength in the inverse." On "The Night Took Us In Like Family," he inhabits both eulogizer and executioner. He triumphantly looms over the corpses and explains how this all came to be. L’Orange supplies concrete requiems of dusted soul: beats to crack safes, soundtracks to stealth assassinations. 

If gangsta rap remains one of the genre’s most well worn tropes, Jae and L’Orange take inspiration from the rarely tapped roots of the tradition. This isn’t riffing on Oliver Stone’s "Scarface" like popular cliché, but rather the original Al Capone exploitation flick from the early 30s. Jae conjures a villain who vaporizes. Run-the-Jewels-raw but still sophisticated. Cuban cigars stuffed with California chronic.

The picture unfolds wide frame. Guest stars include New York poison dart-thrower, Homeboy Sandman and Blackalicious’ Gift of Gab. The chapters flesh out the story: The Conspicuous Man skulks into “God Complex,” “The Damning,” “Revenge and Escape.” Jae and L’ Orange build their world as a catacomb and find a way to escape just as the walls feel like they’re closing in. It fades out as “A Macabre Instrumental” plays. The funeral is closed casket. The memories aren’t easily disposed.

You want a lite beer? Hit the Radisson. This is top shelf liquor. "Stormy Monday", barreled and crafted by Zilla Rocca & The Shadowboxers, aged in oak casks by Has-Lo (Mello Music Group), who produces and guests on the mic, chiseled with ice picks by The Kid Daytona (LRG Clothing's own) before sitting in front of you in this chalice. Dedicated to dark wood paneled speakeasy's and sultry women who are good till the last drop, "Stormy Monday" isn't about a quick buzz -- it's holding something in a glass that lasts all night. 

"Stormy Monday" is now available on iTunes: http://bit.ly/YsbeKf

His releases have checkered Best of the Year lists in the LA Weekly, Scene Magazine (Australia), HipHopDX, Philly Weekly, Passion of the Weiss, WXPN 88.5 FM (World Cafe Live!), and many more.

• The Shadowboxers are a continuation of Zilla's self-proclaimed "Noir Hop" style, which consist of hardboiled rhymes entrenched in slang, sex, crime and betrayal, with the city of Philadelphia as the midnight watcher.

• His 2009 LP with the Shadowboxers, The Slow Twilight was featured on the homepage of MySpace Music, and warranted online features from URB.com, 2DopeBoyz, Potholes In My Blog, The Smoking Section, Pop Matters and Metal Lungies, among others, and was named the #45 Best Hip Hop Album of the 2000's by Passion of the Weiss.

• Zilla's latest full length effort with The Shadowboxers, No Vacation for Murder, features Roc Marciano, Geechi Suede (of Camp Lo), Has-Lo (Mello Music Group), Curly Castro (Man Bites Dog Records), and Open Mike Eagle (Fake Four Inc/Hellfyre Club).
