Longshot - Just Flow

Weird. A term that the native-Minnesotan Antioch is far too familiar with. Antioch harnesses this “weirdness” into creating an imaginative project that is at times humorous and ridiculous [Marlin Branflow, Bravado], and yet other times it touches a more serious tone [Church, Prozac Daytrips]. Amidst all of the emotional changes emerges a high quality album which definitely makes Antioch surface as a new contender in the Twin Cities Hip-Hop scene.

 

To assist Antioch on King Of The Forest, there is Dem Atlas from the Minnesota Hip-Hop label Rhymesayers, Lydia Liza of the group Bomba De Luz, and Minneapolis Hip-Hop legend Carnage The Executioner, and many more all laying down vocals to add their flavor to the album. The majority of the beats for this project were created by the collective known as SOFTPORECORN. All of the audio engineering, production, mixing, and mastering were fulfilled by Common Culture.

 

King Of The Forest answers the age-old question, “It’s good… but is it plaque good?”. The album is PLAQUE GOOD.

Along with our "A Moment In Rhymesayers" mini-doc video series on the Rhymesayers YouTube channel, which is telling the history of the label, we've also been posting rare images from some early Rhymesayers events on our Instagram page. This week, we've focused on the Factory Film event series at The Mighty Fine Cafe.

Coincidentally, we just found a commercial for this event yesterday, while digging thru ANT's old 4-Track tapes. It was produced by ANT with vocal antics by Slug, as well as some comically-ominous ad libs from Beyond, towards the end. A small portion of this was featured on the Headshots "Effort" tape. Don't bother calling that number or mailing in your demo to that PO Box, as those contacts were abandoned years ago. But, what do you know about AOL.COM?!

"No Half Smokin'" was a B-side cut on the "Print Is Goin' Off" 7-inch vinyl release, which dropped around the same time as the "1988" album. Both songs were reinterpretations of 80's Hip-Hop classics; Big Daddy Kane's "Ain't No Half-Steppin'" and Biz Markie's "Biz Is Goin' Off", respectively. The original songs were both released on the Cold Chillin' label, so the labels for this 7-inch were also reinterpreted to mimic the 12" single labels on those original Cold Chillin' releases.

This song may not have been heard as widely as the album, so we thought we'd share it here, too. This 7-inch is still available in limited quantities at Fifth Element for only $2.99! Get It now: http://fifthelementonline.com/products/blueprint-print-is-goin-off-7-inch-vinyl

The History: Emerging out of Oldominion, one of the most prominent crews to represent out of the Northwest, Boom Bap Project had a distinct musical goal in mind. The plan was revealed in the group's name –hard beats and hard rhymes– a.k.a that good ole Boom Bap. Armed with strong Hip Hop sensibilities, unbreakable confidence, and lyrics primed to hit you directly in the head, Nightclubberlang (a.k.a Karim) and Destro Destructo attack the mic relentlessly, as their vocals ride atop hard-hitting production from an accomplished line-up of beat-makers; Jake One, Vitamin D, Bean One, Jumbo The Garbageman (of Lifesavas), Snafu, Sayeed, DJ Scene, and Mr. Hill. The album is enhanced by scratch work for DJ Scene, as well as some quality guest appearances from Gift Of Gab (Blackalicious), Rakaa Iriscience (Dilated Peoples), DJ Vin Roc, The Lifesavas, Grayskul, Snafu, and Choklate. Then, just before the release of Reprogram, Boom Bap Project also released the free mixtape, "Welcome To Seattle", to give the world a taste of what was to come. This mixtape featured a wealth of freestyles, rarities, and unreleased music, including verses from Supernatural, Cool Nutz, One Be Lo, and JFK of Grayskul. "Welcome To Seattle" now comes as a FREE D/L when you buy "Reprogram" (CD, LP, or MP3) at FifthElementOnline.com.

Grimace Federation's sonic collages create a symphonic, cinematic, and immense sound. The band’s musical foundation could be discovered in the grooves of records from post-rock legends such as Jaga Jazzist, Tortoise, and Stereolab, while latter day influences, like Mogwai and Black Sabbath, and a lifetime of collecting obscure underground hip-hop records notably seep into their symbiotic chaos. 

This is the title track from The Measure In Mixture EP, which combines spastic krautrock beats with the grandeur of an Ennio Morricone soundtrack on a Boards of Canada sonic landscape. The release also features two bass-heavy remixes from Aesop Rock, one of which he also graces with his distinguished brand of dense wordplay and dark sense of humor. Ultimately, a must-have for crate-diggers all over the world.

Lyrics:
Unsigned hype, front line aeronauts flurry, zero dark thirty, zero friends, minotaur-fugly stepchild, evoke lunch jumped over plunging necklines, up, beside tongue-tied hungry enzymes, devolved into mothmen munching textiles, punisher, out past go-time, back 10 fried worms chubbier, brown grass both sides, canned food, manmade tools, Lanacane, band-aids, mandrake root, bindle on a broom stick, pancaked shoes and handshake-proof campaign, can’t lose, can’t gain, smoke out moles like a force of nature, pray fortune return to his favor, swiftly, maybe in the form of a nest egg, maybe in the form of a tesla death ray, or a solid gold scene with something better to celebrate than powder on your face like a flat foot on jelly day, m-m-moral compass all batshit, spinning in the shadows of immoral magnets, are we supporting the artist or enabling the addict, I mean, I guess it matters to me, I wish it mattered to you, how a thousand virtues, kick the same bucket like chinatown turtles

Roving packs of elusive young, become choke-lore writers over boosted drums, in the terrifying face of a future tongue, Down from a huntable surplus to one

(check his own) Breakneck pulse over colors in a drain that emote sugar skulls in the rain, flower-eyes melting, guided by a levy made of bath tiles tilting, quarter up and headed for the kill screen, no corner cut, no build team, only a particularly menacing, angle perpendicular to everything, boys room cherry bomb, boy/goon very much runnin’ with the devil in the mellotron, hello, here’s where a tale of caution, pounds coffin nails to bootlegs of Hawkwind, saw tooth, nevermind straw to gold, spin hearts on sleeves into heads on poles, arm in the maw, fish out pith like a business card from a jar at the mall, A-alike androids dreaming of carbon applause get stuffed with cartoon cigars, cold pack, neti-pot, home to roost, around folk backed into what they most lampoon, shook to the fevered brow and broke ankles, daisy, declawed pound, no thank you, fade me, failed all basic training but I spent a couple groundhogs days with a changeling, silouhette the god last cigarette, anything less would be re-god-damn-diculous
