Interview with BONEY JAMES about his brand new CONTACT album.


BONEY JAMES CONTACT SPECIAL 2011

Chuck Person - Eccojams Vol. 1 *FULL ALBUM*

Hi! Thanks to my fans & soundcloud for helping me get my login back so quickly. I wanted to post something now that it's back in my hands. Here's a cover of ~Voices Carry~. I've played it live a few times this year. It's always been one of my favorite songs but it's kind of deeply personal to me,lyrically. I recorded this in one day when a engineer had a room at Sunset Sound available.He let me use the studio for free as a favor, some of my friends came in and played the bass/guitar/drums for me after calling them 45 minutes before asking if they could try playing random stuff for me to work with/write on. Nobody has produced it (except me... I guess but this version isn't produced or mixed.It also doesn't have the synths & guitars I added today. I am out of the country so my computer keeps crashing.)I didn't want to wait until I was back to upload something. I have no idea what this sounds like in speakers either lol. This is what I call the infant demo because it's basically the scratch demo since it hasn't really been worked on & what not. It's also the only thing I can post without getting in trouble by other people involved on other songs.I promise I will be posting a lot more stuff on here & will let you know more about my album. I always feel a lot more comfortable sharing music related things here instead of Instagram etc 
thanks for the support 


I will give you one hint about one of my first two singles:

Gangster Music Vol.1 NTS Show

In 1998 the divide within the rap game was at its most glaring. On one side of the stage stood the jiggy, “shiny suit era” mainstream rappers, with CD sales on their mind, expensive tastes, and a penchant for fly cars, clothes, money, cash and hoes. At the other end of the stage was the underground, “backpack”, independent scene, where rappers and crews still made time for college radio, performed small venue shows, and aimed more for putting out records on vinyl  than for selling CDs in stores. A strange state of affairs was that this was a year where the dichotomy of Hip Hop was at its furthest split. And then an album dropped and something happened. The deep chasm between the mainstream and the underground was filled, but not by much.

Yesterday marked the fourteenth anniversary of Black Star’s debut album. It was a higly anticipated release celebrated and critically acclaimed album immediately from the moment it dropped. It gave a celebrity face to the indy movement that was going on, and did it’s best to bridge the gaps between the polar-opposite movements that were co-existing inside of Hip Hop’s genre. Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star, was the second full-length album on Rawkus Records and was the epicenter for the NYC underground movement.

Last week the good folks at Complex tackled another famous list by profiling 50 Best Rawkus Records Songs. Inspired by the idea honor Mos and Kweli’s epic release, and the label that birthed it, we figured it was our turn to pay respects as well. Sticking more to Rawkus released vinyls, which was the essence of the movement, we put together a list of 14 of the dopest B-Sides from Rawkus records.

No Problem

It’s 2008, one year after the industry cracked our code.  MTV began embracing indies.  Kanye married Facebook.  Pitchfork went Animal Collective.  RISD Punky Brewsters want to know if I can whip up a Joy Division/Michael Jackson mashup on the spot.  

An old friend, also a DJ and electronica producer, asked how long it would take for me to comfortably get to “Once In A Lifetime” by the Talking Heads.  If I were being honest?  45 minutes.

SMH.
