Platform's Pick Of The Summer: August 2014

Verse 1 - Open Mike Eagle
Button my uniform for this stupidness
if I wore a suit and a tie, I'd make a noose with it.
Kill me, kill me, kill me dead.
Spill my head juices open.
Choke me, fill me with lead. 
I won't even raise a limb 'cause I been afraid.
I walk like a zombie and I swim like a renegade.
Favorite nightmare is ten degrees centigrade.
I only know five songs and they're all Gucci's "Lemonade"!
I'm at a tender age when compared
to a dead rotten deer, when the shins get ensnared
and it dies in the trap, but the trap gets forgot
?I'm a god in a trap, and it snaps on the spot?
and the party people clap
till the gavel gets dropped
then we're all sentenced to eternal damnation.
All of us.
Especially you.

Hook - Stik
Ain't nothing promised in life but death and taxes.
No time to rest, stepping over the mattress.
best distractions, collecting protecting fractions.
Looking like success. Overdressed in the casket.
Feeling resurrected, blowing breath into ashes.
It's anybody's guess. Can't connect to the masses.
Felt it in my chest. Hope that I left established.
God directs the steps. Some suggest that he's absent.

Bridge-
Destruction is a habit, insatiable apetite,
can't see it how I see it, they only see black and white.

Verse 2 Tron-
 Whenever I contemplate late nights.
Thoughts flowing like condensate drain pipes.
Concentrate day lights.
Across a pattern of glass shards,
?scatter a wreckage a deck of cards?
my reflection don't play right.
Stack the checkers and check backstories
of facts of what they seem
cause you lack more informative means.
Act serious, carved into wax.
We write letters of light and end them with dark periods.

Verse 3 Kon Sci-
Yo it's hard to understand the dark dwellings of the heavens,
so we capture afterlife, demand an answer to the questions
of eternity- the source of a lifespan.
Indelible daydream, the course of my flight plans.
A glance at the ides even evaluate the sinister God,
Seein it forthright, comparable, clairvoyance to mortals
who talk fight, disposable chalk lines,
fatalities stares cold  
into the abyss of any man's soul.

Hook 2 - Stik

Devil's asking price - yet to be satisfied
Soul still intact, yet to be sacrificed
Ain't been living lavish but actually gratified
Hungry as a haitian with holes in my bag of rice
Destruction is a habit, insatiable apetite
How full is the glass, as it passes your sight
Can't see it how I see it, they only see black and white
while my grey matter splices all these fragments of light.
Gone.


L'Orange & Stik Figa - Decorated Silence (ft. Open Mike Eagle & MindsOne)

Monochrome is second single from L'Orange & Stik Figa's upcoming project, "The City Under The City"

The new single establishes the setting for the story of "The City Under The City" and shows movement from a monochromatic life into the colorful depths below the surface.

"As I wax poetic over past aesthetics,
craft a legend of a time before the apathetic.
Let’s start a tab. What will you have? Is that cash or credit?
How about a glass of purgatory with a splash of heaven?"

"For this episode I decided to use nothing but 
vocals from Black Thought and Malik B of the Roots. 
It's kind of a mini tribute to one of the greatest rap 
groups of all time. I chose to use these vocals because 
I've always been a huge fan of the Roots and because I'm 
getting really excited about dropping the album 
"Unpredictable" with Malik B.

If you watch to 2:00 minutes you will see that I invented a new
way to rock the (digital) turntables. Have you ever seen somebody pick
their turntables up and play them like a guitar before? Now you have.

Instrumentals:
Undefined (look out for Jem Cretes rocking over the beat)
Kings Beat (from the Freeway and Tek song)
June 2007 (from Green Future)
Unreleased Instrumental

Vocals:
"In The Ghetto (Wake Up!)" J Period feat. Black Thought, Rakim and John Legend
"Get Busy" The Roots
"You Don't See Us" The Roots
"Metal is Out' SNIPPET Malik B and Mr. Green feat. Benefit

Shout out to Pioneer/Serato for making the
DDJ- SR, a piece of equipment so dope
that I can pick it up and play it like a guitar.

Big Shout out to Dj Critical Hype for hooking up the Acapellas.

Huge shout out as always to the video master Sam Lipman-Stern on the cut. -Green"

Lootpack – Madlib, Wildchild and DJ Romes – formed in the sea-side town of Oxnard CA, a couple hours north of Los Angeles, and a lifetime away from the mainstream hip-hop world.  When Wolf signed the group to Stones Throw in 1998, Madlib had already produced an impressive body of work, enough to fill a 3LP debut album ("Soundpieces") and a series of 12-inch singles.  Loopdigga EP collects the rare tracks on those out-of-print singles, each taken from the original master record.

This live version was recorded during SXSW 2014 at Daytrotter's studio: 
"We knew what Sage Francis was going to do to us when he came by the studio in Austin a month ago. We knew he was going to destroy us. We just didn't know he was going to destroy us as much as he wound up destroying us. He's a rapper unequaled and his new record, 'COPPER GONE', is a goddamned blessing, after a four year break between records. This particular song from the full session floored us. We were slack-jawed and stunned by the passionate delivery and sentiment in 'Thank You' and we all -- Sage included -- wanted to get this out into the world in front of the full session." - Sean Moeller www.daytrotter.com

From Lazerbeak & Edison's Kill Switch LP 
Available 2.28.12
 
Pre-order now at Fieldwerk.com 
Chicago based Fieldwerk Recordings continues its spilt instrumental series with Kill Switch, a collaboration featuring Minneapolis native and Doomtree alum Lazerbeak and Bay Area producer Edison. 
Kill Switch opens first with Lazerbeak who introduces himself with “Dedications”. The rich melodic vocals glide over a crisp, steady drum break, and as the hook unravels (listen to our dedication/this whole thing was made for you) it becomes clear the type of impression he’s looking to make; a friendly audible handshake to start the getting to know process. What ensues after is where Lazerbeak is at his best. Throughout seven songs, none of which extend much longer than 3 minutes, LB melds a wide range of styles. One moment he’s dabbling in warm synthesized loops (“Boots & Pants”) and rugged samples (“Torch Light”), and on others moody melodies (“Porch Light”). It’s a biting combination of sounds and rhythms that gives way to a classic, but all together new style of instrumental hip-hop. 
Edison, a budding producer who’s worked with Aesop Rock, Sole and 2Mex (amongst others), follows up Lazerbeak with a unique style of his own. “These Songs Are Rabies” ushers itself in with a menacing guitar riff and drum roll, which continues on slowly, rabidly and at a feverish pace. It’s an amalgamation of psych rock and heady boom-bap, and conjures up memories of hip-hop’s darker days. The sentiment echoes on, but not without rich and daring variations. “All Hell Hath No Pennies” reflects Edison’s craftsmanship with its meticulously chopped samples and broken rhythms. And for the final two tracks of his side (“No One Can Hear You, They’re Distracted” and “A Cure For a Case of The Wealthies”) which weave together seamlessly as if they were one long cut, Edison provides an eerie melodic warmth to his ominous death march.

Aesop Rock -  Coffee (Figure Remix)

HiPNOTT Records was founded in 2009 by hip hop blogger Kevin Nottingham (of KevinNottingham.com) in an effort to release good music by artists that deserve to be heard. This is the first instance of a hip hop blogger branching out to form an independent label.

HiPNOTT Records’ goal is to continuously build their artists’ resumes and consistently develop an image that hip hop will have no choice but to admire. With Kevin Nottingham at the helm, a man who certainly respects the past, present, and future of the genre, it is hard to deny the capability of reaching these goals amongst others.
