Duke Westlake - Stars Above Me (feat. Jeremiah Jae)

Hus Kingpin's "The Cognac Tape" available now.

Haunting tones follow verses from Hus Kingpin and Rozewood like shadows. Khrysis (Jamla) embraces the dark mood and remixes "Pyramid Points" for Hus Kingpin.

Hus Kingpin brings that fly vandal, spark it up, cognac drinking music. Pimpstead player Roc Marciano hosts and stars throughout The Cognac Tape, setting up the atmosphere before setting the bars on fire. Kick back, twist it up, and build with the Gods.
lyrics

"Never catch me slipping, my vision is too ill."

The new album Dr. Stokley finds Dudley over production from Kankick, Georgia Anne Muldrow, and Madlib.

L'Orange Signs 3 Album Deal w/ Mello Music Group

The Deal:
After selling out the first three pressings of his vinyl in under 30 days, old soul producer L'Orange has signed a 3 album production deal with MMG for 2014 & 2015.  Slated to create a combination of projects from instrumental, to jazz singers, to alternative edged collaborations with emcees, L'Orange is looking to bring his distinct sound to Mello's audience, while continuing to push the boundaries of his musical explorations. 

The Sound:
Prohibition era soul samples combine with lingering smoke in the air on L'Orange productions.  Able to bring the crackle of vintage radio back in head nodding introspective journeys, L'Orange's ability lies in making complex productions seamless, allowing listeners to slide into another world. L'Orange's talent as a producer is his ability to develop full visions that create environments for artists and listeners alike. L'Orange is somewhere between early DJ Shadow, Madlib, Portishead, and Billie Holiday. 

The Instant Grat:
L'Orange recently recruited Mr. Lif & John Robinson for his contribution to the MMG compilation "Mandala Vol. 1, Polysonic Flows".  The track, titled "The Lost Nova", combines jazz rhythms, classic crackle, and intricate drum patterns for the raspy voiced Mr. Lif to tell his tale of verbal kumite (組手) and whirlwind zephyrs, while John Robinson takes listeners to the crystal city via his astro-physical-lyrical gift and extra-galactic tactics.

ANOTHER SEASON

Our project with Mattic is divided into two sections, two audio "books", two tales. The one being narrated from the "dark" side of things expressing the  raw, rough and spooky nature of us all and the other being the "bright" side expressing our polished, hopeful and ambitious nature as human beings.

"Music For The Dying" is another track from the "dark" side of  the tale we give away. The side of the tale which consists of our demo recordings until we get to the official release, the "bright" side, entitled "Tales Of The Fun Kids".

More info soon.

When the London producer moves in for a rerubb, the initial folky acoustic purrs of the original are switched out for some industrial analog bass and powerful chords, adding to the raw emotion of Valerie's voice.

Twelve O'Clock Shadow feat. Miguel Atwood-Ferguson

L'Orange just released a deluxe edition of "After The Flowers" on vinyl http://www.undergroundhiphop.com/lorange-after-the-flowers/MMG00062LP/ and on iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/after-the-flowers-ep/id959140884

About The Project:
In the aftermath of L'Orange's 2014 album The Orchid Days, the After The Flowers EP is a warm vignette- a glimpse info life after the end of the world. Waking up to a surreal heavenscape, our tragic figure searches for his place somewhere between life and death. 

Expanding on the themes of love and loss, L'Orange teams up with artists Chuck Inglish, Meyhem Lauren, Red Pill and producer Amerigo Gazeway to bring us a stream of consciousness epilogue to his 2014 album The Orchid Days.

About the Album:
Enter those bloody alleys blocked off with yellow tape and chalk outlines. Secret backrooms riddled with sly crooks and blunt smoke. Slink into the underworld, the seedy shadowland owned by Jeremiah Jae and L’Orange on their noir-hop opus, "The Night Took Us In Like Family."

Consider it the alchemy of Madvillain and "The Maltese Falcon": a five-part fable of tangled crimes, narrow escapes, and raining lead. The door busts open with “A Conspicuous Man.” L’Orange’s carefully severed cinematic clips hold the frame steady. The Windy City-raised Jae muscles the narrative forward—the hitman creeping.

Beats bend sinister with imagery aiming for the temples. Jae invokes dark clouds, crowns of thorns and LSD eyes. Bars written in dirt. Samples are disembodied and ethereal. It’s like a grand jury indictment doubling as a Greek chorus.  A song title like “Ice Obsidian” says it all. This is frozen lava, black and white celluloid, the spoils won by sinners. Watch your back rap.

Or maybe it’s the hip-hop version of the gangster flicks made before the Hays Code—raw and uncensored, deeply artful without pretension. Pitchfork once described Jae as: “a lot of people talk loud and say nothing; Jeremiah Jae finds strength in the inverse." On "The Night Took Us In Like Family," he inhabits both eulogizer and executioner. He triumphantly looms over the corpses and explains how this all came to be. L’Orange supplies concrete requiems of dusted soul: beats to crack safes, soundtracks to stealth assassinations. 

If gangsta rap remains one of the genre’s most well worn tropes, Jae and L’Orange take inspiration from the rarely tapped roots of the tradition. This isn’t riffing on Oliver Stone’s "Scarface" like popular cliché, but rather the original Al Capone exploitation flick from the early 30s. Jae conjures a villain who vaporizes. Run-the-Jewels-raw but still sophisticated. Cuban cigars stuffed with California chronic.

The picture unfolds wide frame. Guest stars include New York poison dart-thrower, Homeboy Sandman and Blackalicious’ Gift of Gab. The chapters flesh out the story: The Conspicuous Man skulks into “God Complex,” “The Damning,” “Revenge and Escape.” Jae and L’ Orange build their world as a catacomb and find a way to escape just as the walls feel like they’re closing in. It fades out as “A Macabre Instrumental” plays. The funeral is closed casket. The memories aren’t easily disposed.
