HipHop

If Woody Guthrie, Doc Holiday, and the Pied Piper were looking to play a game of spades, Doc would ring up Cecil Otter.

"1999" is a track from Rebel Yellow, his first official full-length album, and it is Cecil at his finest. He's a prophet turned cardshark. He's striking matches on his whiskers and lighting up your cigarette. He's buying the saloon a round, then conducting their ensemble with a loaded pistol and a whisky on the rocks. 

Rebel Yellow is available on CD &amp; MP3 Download at www.StrangeFamous.com

Cecil Otter of Doomtree - 1999

I don't know how to love myself. I'm hoping you can show me how.
Cross my heart with all your might. Lift me up and slow me down.
Spoken honest, broken promise builds a fire inside of me.
Childish schemes and wildest dreams. I don't care if you lie to me.
Live two lives instead of one. Depend on the soft-spoken killer.
Tie your hands behind your back and build upon this broken pillar.
Love is like a suicide. Broken hearts are unified.
This place is strange. Faces change. Bodies crowned and crucified.

And will you risk my life?
I'll fill you with my light.
And will you hold my breath?
Yes I'll love you to death.

La sublimation des muses 
nous emmène dans une ardeur
timide et pesante
intime et fascinante

Les amants se livrent à des échanges
torrides et turbulents
telle une passion 
absolue et divine


I'm exactly like a phenomenon and so are you.
Yes, exactly like a phenomenon. It's hard
To explain, the truest pain. When all is lost, still you remain.
Cross my path and hope to die. Needle stuck into my vein.
Searching for my whereabouts. Heat from flames we'll never douse.
Complete the circle of my life. Fill my void with all your doubts.
The lyrics of my favorite songs scare me so bad, I can't sleep.
Lonely throes. God Only Knows. Slowly, coldest shadows creep.

And will you risk my life?
I'll fill you with my light.
And will you hold my breath?
Yes I'll love you to death.

You touched my heart and now I'm wounded. Opened wide, that's why it bled.
Fires raging down below and hanging on just by a thread.
It's on the line. Chances taken. Reaching out for stings and kisses.
Beckon call. Wrecking ball. Bed and gardens. Swings and misses.
Cancelling each other out. Living fast and given wholly.
Ever closer to the sun, each of us has one wing only.
I'm exactly like a phenomenon and so are you.
Yes, exactly like a phenomenon...

Sublimation

Dessa "Dixon's Girl"

Like the savior in these last days, you should know Prof by now. All you sleepyheads rest easy; he's still on his "Rocket Man mission," even though dude's already miles above the game. Maybe that's why he still calls himself the "undiscovered son." (Or sun? Yeah, that's a metaphor, kiddies.) But sleep no more: The new five-song EP, Kaiser Von Powderhorn, with its limited production and availability, is bound to be a rare treasure for the rest of your days. Dope on wax. Prof is wall-to-wall here in all his glory, with clever one-liners out the ass, hyperactive and delicious vocab spills popped like collars—picture a supreme smartass with gorilla swagger and a mouth as fast as his mind. Oh my gawd. Half the time he plays with the beat like a cat on a dead mouse, batting it mockingly, going from 0 to 60 and back again in three seconds just to test the engine. - City Pages

Dessa "The Beekeeper"

DESSA 
I took it for a kiss, but it couldn’t have been, could it? / I see now what it is, we were just biting the same bullet / You called it in the air / it landed it on its edge / when the crowd gathers around / you turn tail / I turn heads / Shavin down the puzzle piece / tryna make a clean fit / Take what is lovely / leave before the rain hits / It’s a heartbreaker for starters, as you age not too much changes / practice doesn’t make perfect, just makes the game more dangerous 

STEF 
Start repo / negative sleep nauseous / barf party for sure / intelligent creep stalking awkward / Flush flustered rush for doors / advance fire-plan / handy with the way out / routes explored / Cover catching up / careful with your care / We don’t go there, naw / We keep locks and keys steadily swallowed / never be followed, none of em dare / Channel up your anger leave it here / kindly disappear / Mind your mannerisms / I can’t be flattered back / The patterns the concern / lessons prolly turned to fact / By now you’d surely drown yourself before you’d help me with this sail / I’m in the wind / crossed fingers for the win / Up to ten til they hammer in the very last nail / Challenging like every last stalemate / Deal with it / No mission ends / Precision lack of friends / Happily recommend nothing to no one, ever 

CECIL (Hook) 
I know, I know / I know wake up, wake up / But I don’t go there, go there / She knows the way home 

CECIL 
You know your way home? / You gonna be all right? / Yeah, but I had faith that you’d see the light / and ride with me or kiss me goodbye / Now you got me feeding kites into the night sky / Covered them with nightlights, like, did you see the beacon? / I swear I let those kites fly around all weekend, no? / Well someone must have cut the lines or something, no? / Or maybe something, oh, you weren’t looking / Ok Plan B just panic / run up the stairs and shut the door to the attic and don’t come up for air / until you’re torn from her fabric completely… / and just like magic, you’re all in one piece again / But, I’m nothing like I used to be… / elusive and reclusive / Now I’m just both times a hundred…exclusively / Truthfully, I was blind to the deep end / until that piece of us went and died that weekend (Hook) 

SIMS 
Then it flashed forward, but I asked for it / Rip out the doubt, I’m way too south / I gulped it up, I laid back / peeling off the layers / the mantra saying “fear can’t stay here self see you later” / Fire chakra dissolve to ether / I have to meet her, I know she knows the way / I’ll have to die twice, no novocaine / See the Eye of Horace, I am Osiris / I meet the devil, it ain’t the first time / He kills me quick like I am nothing / Scream St. Peter, I need you now cousin / I see the owls coming, they float me safe / I learn their grace, they help me heal / I’m under stars peeling off my skin to rid my scars / it’s the first time I am reborn, but I am not me / No identity, and I am finally free / I am my brother, I am my father / I am the sun, I am the water / I am an ion, I am everything / I am the vapor, a cloud of smoke / I am a cheap laugh, but I get the joke / I am a brief flash, the abstract

No April Fools joke here. After dropping the out-of-nowhere “Cross Countries” single earlier this week, Cecil Otter announces the immediate release of his new EP Dear Echo, available digitally through Doomtree Records.  Longtime Doomtree crew member and behind-the-scenes production wizard, Cecil has spent years developing his unique and signature sound, and Dear Echo pushes the genre boundaries even further for his most modern, lush, and experimental offering yet.  Recorded in Fall Creek, WI at Justin Vernon’s renowned April Base Studios, the six-track EP includes three brand new songs alongside their accompanying instrumentals, with production, songwriting, and vocals masterfully handled by Cecil himself.  Available now for download, Dear Echo will also see a vinyl release later this year.  Standard and deluxe LP packages are now available for pre-order from the Doomtree webstore, and include limited-edition white vinyl and an extremely rare signed-and-numbered screen-print series featuring the artwork Cecil created during the Dear Echo recording sessions.

After self-producing several of his own solo albums throughout the 2000’s, Cecil Otter rose to fame as one half of the mashup duo Wugazi, a remix project that overlapped the gritty raps of Wu-Tang Clan with the sounds of post-rock vets Fugazi.  The project went instantly viral and garnered high praise from the likes of NBC, Rolling Stone, MTV, and even Jay-Z’s own site, Life + Times.  Dear Echo marks Cecil’s first new collection of solo material since 2008’s Rebel Yellow.

"Tin Soldiers" is B. DOLAN's head-nodding message to enlistment aged youth. 

In his breakdown of<a href="http://bdolan.net/house-of-bees-vol-2-is-here-track-by-track-breakdown/"> HOUSE OF BEES VOL. 2</a>, Dolan wrote: 

"For a long time, I’ve wanted to make a song that directly addresses kids who are thinking of joining the military... {and with this track} I feel like I’ve finally managed to lay it all on the line and provide people with a crystal clear argument on the subject.

I don’t expect this song will be for everyone, and I intentionally put aside the ‘poetics’ for this writing.  This is just me talking like I really talk, and trying to provide people with something they can play for their cousin/brother/friend who's thinking about enlisting."

Known for welding hip-hop with guitar squalls and screamed vocals, on WDELH P.O.S. steps away from his noisy past in favor of futuristic beats fit for a Berlin nightclub. Though his hip-hop foundation is firm on tracks like the fiery “Fuck Your Stuff” and the funky “Wanted/Wasted,” the album brings banging new sounds from dance-oriented collaborators like German DJs Boyz Noise & Housemeister, Gayngs’ Ryan Olson, and Innerpartysystem’s Patric Russel

Also along for the ride are Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon (who lends his shapeshifting vocals to the heartfelt bear-hug of an anthem “Where We Land”) and P.O.S.’ trusted Doomtree co-conspirators Lazerbeak, Cecil Otter, Mike Mictlan, and Sims. Bringing it all into focus is all-star producer and mix engineer Andrew Dawson (P.O.S.’s former high school classmate), who has worked on platinum releases from the likes of Kanye West, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne and Fun.

I've had the pleasure of being interviewed and featured in some of the most incredible publications but the most entertaining and interesting interviews Ive ever had was with the one and only Nardwuar. During our interview he gave me The original program to a Muhammad Ali exhibition fight in Vancouver and several records. First thing I did when I got home from the tour was listen through the records and make a beat from one of them. I ended up recording this song. 

Doot doola doot doot!
