Order FOUR FISTS 7" — http://store.doomtree.net

P.O.S and Astronautalis have joined forces to form FOUR FISTS. Doomtree Records proudly presents their debut release: a limited-edition 7-inch featuring two new songs, “Please Go” and “MMMMMHMMMMM,” and the instrumental version of each.

Astronautalis is part emcee, part method actor, with an uncanny ability to channel characters on the edge—of a breakdown, of a revelation, of a fistfight. P.O.S (Rhymesayers/Doomtree) made his name as a gifted risk-taker, fashioning head-nodding beats from strange noises, and writing anthemic lyrics from unexpected vantage points.

These first two tracks from FOUR FISTS were produced collaboratively by the duo, holed up in P.O.S’ attic during an exceptionally brutal Minnesota winter. In these songs, listeners will hear the rappers’ usual sharpness and a nod to traditional notions of hip-hop collaborations, but their noir approach yields an entirely new sound: dark choral layers and punk rock gang vocals create a sense of impending doom. “Please Go” is a haunting number that runs on thick, brooding bass; it’s shaped by a frayed synth, whispered vocal takes, and soaring strings that sweep in and out of the darkness like cars passing in the distance. “MMMMMHMMMMM” opens with quick snares, in the sharp staccato stabs of an Underwood typewriter, and a bass synth that pulses like an idling outboard motor, till the track explodes into a wall of layered drums and throat-shredding vocals—P.O.S and Astronautalis at their most deadly. The two songs clock in under 8 minutes and still hit like a ton of bricks, leaving you dizzy, breathless, and eager for this duo’s coming full length album.

Four Fists "MMMMMHMMMMM"

A little over a year ago, the folks at RadioLab contacted me about an episode they were working on about “colors”. Now, if you are not familiar with RadioLab, it is an astounding radio show/podcast about the marvelous of area where science, art, and magic all mix. Understandably, it is one of my favorite things ever, and when they asked to be apart of this episode, I was over the moon! The episode was going to be focusing on colors, what color is, how we relate to color, etc, and they wanted to get various musicians they liked to cover songs about color to soundtrack the entire episode. 

I wanted to do something that would stand out, not only in song choice, but in style, and all of the things that came to mind, like “Paint It Black”, “Yellow Submarine”, “Blue”…they all just seemed too easy, too obvious. So I set out to cover “Black & Yellow” by Wiz Khalifa…and make it the prettiest damn version of a Wiz Khalifa song ever. Of all time. 

So I enlisted the help of my dear friend Rickolus to shape the backbone of the song with pianos and synths, then I brought in the talented Erica Burton to add layers and layers of strings to really doll up this ditty. The whole thing was recorded for free, in bedrooms, in a day or two, and mixed by yours truly all in a pinch. RadioLab never used the song, and I am too damn proud of the way this turned out to let it sit on the shelf any longer!
 So here you go, have this for free, since it is summer, and the sun is shining! 

Happy Monday Y’all!

Narration
And the story goes, a young man will come and save the universe from the forces of evil...

1st Verse

Take a second to adjust to the ride
They say if this was a crime, it'd be federal
Lately
I've been feelin' invincible as im tryna find my way cant nothing hold me though
I say
Get a clue
The vibes all around you
Try but you can't deny when its in your soul
Lets take it where there arn't any roads
Where these sucka hatin' niggaz can't follow

Hook

Take it to the satellite, tonight
Take flight to the moon
Come get in my space whip!
To the satellite, tonight
Take flight to the moon
Take a ride!

No worries 4x

2nd Verse

Come on don't be shy
Let your guard down and work it
Do just what you want
Anything you choose
I tell ya, there's no way we could lose
Have you ever seen the Earth from this view?
I bet not

Hook

Take it to the satellite, tonight
Take flight to the moon
Come get in my space whip!
To the satellite, tonight
Take flight to the moon
Take a ride!

Take a ride! 3x

And now, the vibes

RAW ASS VIBE SESH

Heavy little thoughts get jumbled in a bundle
And they're tucked deep down in the back of my brain

Heavy little thoughts get jumbled in a bundle
And they're tucked deep down in the back of my brain

Heavy little thoughts get jumbled in a bundle
And they're tucked deep down in the back of my brain
All is life and all is pain
Down the hallway of my endless fate

Hook 2x
Take it to the satellite, tonight
Take flight to the moon
Come get in my space whip!
To the satellite, tonight
Take flight to the moon
Take a ride!

Take a ride!
Come on, yea
Come on, dream on

Come on
Come on
Dream on
No worries

Wicked!

Today I release the first single from my upcoming album, "Parallels", as a free download. The tune "Slither" is a bit of a fusion between a couple different vibes, mixing up trap and glitch-hop influences for a 140bpm stomper that still relies heavily on melody. You can pre-order Part 1 of my album now, which will include 4 originals plus a remix from one of my favorite producers, VibeSquaD. Enjoy!
