Donnie Numeric Interview on Kaleidoscope Show (4/1/14)

The Delegates of Rhyme return with their long awaited single "Stresses & Definitions". Featuring Seraphym aka Dina Deez, an incredible lyricist from Birmingham, Stresses tells the story of different three characters from different perspectives. Offering an insight into modern day living and the perception of women within music, the vocals work alongside a soundscape from Vice, the production arm of The Delegates of Rhyme, offering a golden era-esque feel giving the track depth and character.

To complete the vibe, Joe Bird of Rap-Torial creates an intricate tapestry of cuts to weave together the three verses, adding context to lyrics. Joe's constant input in The Delegates Of Rhyme includes cuts, remixing and even recording certain elements of the forthcoming project.

With The Delegates of Rhyme already receiving support from the like of BBC Introducing, Disorda, DJ Shorty, Carasel (Ambush The Airwaves), A Gee (Itch FM) and many more, the duo are rapidly garnering attention and support from the UK and beyond.

"Stresses and Definitions" is the second full release from The Delegates Of Rhyme's forthcoming debut album entitled "Assemblage" coming mid 2014. As with their music, the group take an alternative approach to visuals, and as opposed to going for a standard music video they have created a stripped down, sombre yet beautiful sunset visual, that allows for Donnie's words to be really heard. Filmed and edited by Vice, and shot in Bristol during a two day recording session, the video offers a moment of contemplation.

The track is released on 11th January 2014 as a free download, and the remixes will be launched one week after (18th). The track will be available from:
www.delegatesofrhyme.bandcamp.com

Stresses & Definitions f. Seraphym & Joe Bird (Joe Bird Remix)

Morris Chestnut is the funkier, soulier alter-ego of Joe Thompson, a musician and producer who’s been writing and releasing music of all shapes and sizes for as long as he can remember.

From playing in bass and keyboards in blues and rock bands as a spotty youth to working as a producer for a number of mainstream dance DJs, it was only a matter of time before Joe returned to the purity of funk and soul as the basis of all grooves and the real roots of dance music as we know it.

Taking a cue from visionaries such as George Clinton and Afrika Bambaataa and following in the footsteps of cut’n'paste heroes such as The Avalanches and DJ Shadow, Joe donned his “Morris hat” and went burrowing through mountains of classic soul, funk and disco cuts looking for magical snippets of forgotten tracks and hidden gems to weave together with more modern elements of hip-hop, breaks and the rapidly growing nu-funk and ghettofunk scenes.

The first result of this audio-scavengery was the Better Living EP released on Pig Balls Recordings at the start of 2012. Featuring remixes from scene legends such as Funkanizer, Trotter, Rory Hoy and Pig Balls head honcho PulpFusion, this was a perfect platform to launch the Chestnut sound onto an unsuspecting world.

Then in 2013, “…And Then This Happened!” was released; a 14 track album crossing the board musically from soulful hip-hop to nu-disco, via swingstep and funky breaks. With great reviews from leading funk-scene tastemakers Monkey Boxing and Flea Market Funk among others, “…And The This Happened!” hit the number 1 spot on Juno’s funk charts the same week it was released.

With a slew of new singles, collaborations and a new album on the way in 2014, you can guarantee you’ll be dancing to Morris in some form or another soon!!!

Stresses & Definitions f. Seraphym & Joe Bird (Morris Chestnut Remix)

Mr. Kwazi is a multi-instrumentalist, producer, and beatsmith hailing from Ontario, Canada. A relatively-fresh face in the electronic music and beat scene, he has already caught the ears of many as a finalist in the Stussy Make Beats and Olivia Broadfield ‘Say’ Remix contests – in addition to collaborations with artists in Canada, USA, and the UK. Inspired by a vast musical background and by artists of many genres, his multidimensional style melts moody vibes into fresh drums, fuses classical precision with off-beat rhythms, and breathes new life into any sample he touches. The recently-released Bachelor Pad EP displays his sampling skills, using one song to create all of the album’s eight tracks. Mr. Kwazi is a dynamic artist to be on the lookout for.

The Delegates Of Rhyme - Look At What They Do f. Greg Blackman on Ambush The Airwaves

On Saturday 18th May Shadows was played as a radio exclusive by BBC Introducing, introduced by Louise Brierley. This version shows the 3rd verse and the outro. We are still keeping Jimmy Davis's verse a secret for those who heard the 24 hour preview on Facebook or on the BBC show, just as a thank you to those of you who have been supporting the Delegates Of Rhyme up to this point. The track is set for release very soon so stay tuned.

Shadows tells the tale of a World of darkness, where wrong doings are the only way to survive, and morals are left at the door. The daily tasks weigh heavy on your soul like the ever growing shadows trailing behind your disheveled spirit.

Jimmy Davis and Donnie Numeric are your narrators for this journey into the dark land of the "Shadows". A dusty, Boom Bap and New York Jazz inspired soundscape sets the scene for one of the stand out tracks from The Delegates Of Rhyme's debut project entitled "Assemblage".

The full version of this track was released only to the group's Facebook fans in early April 2013, and now shows just a snippet of Donnie's First verse, a tiny section of the moody introduction, and just a brief glimpse into the hook.

Please let us know your thoughts, share the preview, like us on Facebook, check us out on Bandcamp, and stay tuned for more music very soon.

This track features:
Vocals - Donnie Numeric & Jimmy Davis
Track produced and mixed by Vice
Alto Saxophone - Alto Smith aka Ben Jammin On Sax (Genius Collective / Hedkandi)
