Cas One Vs. Figure's "So Our Egos Don't Kill Us" album drops April 21, 2017. All info here: www.tinyurl.com/CasOneVsFigureSFR

In April of 2016, SFR announced the signing of Cas One Vs Figure. Since that time, Cas has gone through some life changes, and wanted to share a piece of his journey with you.  Words from Cas about "Happy Anniversary": 

"My name is Jacob. When I rap my name is Cas One. I am going through a divorce. 

Today October 27th is my anniversary. To say the least it has been the worst experience of my life. I don't know how to deal with it and I don't know that there is a way to do it effectively. 

However, I find writing about it to at the very least to be cathartic. I've probably written an albums worth of material about it. I've recorded a few songs. Songs that won't ever come out because they're too angry or too honest about the wrong things to be honest about. This song is not like those songs. 

You'll find this recording to be absolutely stripped down. This is not how it appears on the [upcoming] album. I think it was essential to release it this way because it's the most personal way that I can think to release it. I'm not trying to over saturate you with some artistic meaning of why I am releasing it this way first....but it felt right and in the simplest explanation, it is by far the most personal and most emotional thing I've ever released. 

If you're new to my material I don't know that this is a good starting point. If you're familiar with my material I think that our bond will grow deeper because of it. 

Not a lot has kept me afloat this year... but you all and this album Josh and I are making have most certainly helped. I hope you never go through this. But...  if you are or you have we are in the same club. It gets easier. It gets better. It becomes less cumbersome. Time does a lot. This is a Polaroid of a moment in time."

Break Apart

Break Apart (feat. Rhye)

'Migration' Out Now

01. Rambo Shit (Intro)

Written, Produced, Performed, Mixed by Ecid in a bedroom in Brooklyn, NY
Guitar by Charlie Rauh
Mastered by Bruce Templeton at Microphonic Mastering (Mpls, MN)

"The concept behind this track is more of an aspirational idea v.s. a concrete statement. I was feeling like I needed to give myself a pep talk when I wrote this and remind the people around me that it's going to be okay no matter what ugly turns our world takes...Just keep doing dope shit.

One of my favorite things about this track was collaborating with my roommate at the time, Charlie Rauh. He's an awesome dude and extremely talented guitar player. We've now made a handful of really dope beats together but this was the first one. We just started messing around, sampling his guitar through some effects on an Organelle routed into Ableton Live and in a matter of minutes we had a foundation to build on. Essentially the first verse is what he and I made together and then from there I built the hook, verse 2 and the rest of the track from recycled elements of what we initially laid down so it evolves throughout."

- Jason/Ecid

Trusting The Universe

 At first glance most would think a skinny, blue-eyed hipster looking dude in a flannel with obnoxious Nike’s to match, would be in a post-electro indie-band. But this is the 90’s for the third time and one of rap’s most exciting new voices, ECID, is not your average newsstand heartthrob. Minneapolis native Jason Mckenzie, an only child raised by a single-mom, had a lot of time to himself growing up. But he was never bored. Ever. He started writing songs at age 13, released his first “album” before his 18th birthday and hasn’t stopped since. Released earlier this year, Post Euphoria volume 1 brought Ecid’s true charm to the surface with sexier beats and punchlines on steroids (and kush).

 Amidst the chaos of artistic evolution, Post Euphoria 2 exploits the best parts of Volume 1 while preparing us for the upcoming full-length Pheromone Heavy. After spending the first half of the year training to be a yoga instructor Ecid bought a MOOG, stopped quantizing and found a way to make songs with a more human approach. Minimalistic drums and urgent melodies give his percussive vocals and no-fuck’s-given personality room to breathe. “Communication Abuse”, a snarky response to society’s infatuation with their phones and themselves, continues ECID’s agenda to challenge the “pack” mentality. ECID lives and dies by the dream and Post Euphoria 2 is what happens when you finally catch that elusive carrot.
