Choke Hold

Back in 2004 there was a great night at The Evelyn in Melbourne called Phat Logic where amateur musicians, MCs & poets could get up and show their art. 
I got up one night and gave this spoken word piece.
Thanks to Elf for those amazing days......

Ancient Signature [Album Clip]

On June 10th, Los Angeles hip hop group The Kleenrz (Self Jupiter of Freestyle Fellowship and Kenny Segal of TeamSupreme) are back with their sophomore release Season Two. The Kleenrzs have put together another record that falls in the dark film noir setting of their debut, constructed with an uncompromising lens over Los Angeles culture. The Kleenrz will release Season Two on vinyl and digital formats June 10th with The Order Label and there’s a lot in store. Season Two picks up right where their debut ended, splashing fresh paint on the canvas and heating things up through raw lyricism and organic production. 12 new episodes full of blood, mystery, and mayhem, served with the freshest of hip hop styles you can find from this era.

Described by The Kleenrz themselves, “Season Two is left coast, Southern, dark, messy, beautiful, inventive, cool, fun and frothy. However, as always with our music, there’s always nuggets of truths wrapped in with horror that reflects what we see and hear everyday.” The lyrical storylines on Season Two were solely written under the guise of Self Jupiter. Kenny Segal lays down creatively disturbing sample interludes, dynamic multi-instrumentalism and head nodding snare and kick drum. It’s all formulated under a lush scheme of cohesion between the two that touches every corner of hip hop and builds on the creative luminance of their first venture.

Features on Season Two bring together many roots of LA music culture, including Busdriver, Myka 9, Penthouse Penthouse, Del Tha Funky Homosapien, D-Styles, Sach, Abstract Rude, AWOL One, Grouch, and Eligh. Everyone featured brought their uniqueness to the LP, adding to The Kleenrz legacy in the most proper of ways. Season Two is absolute heat from Self Jupiter and Kenny Segal, imaginatively weaving some of the darkest corridors of society together and giving it a new world to thrive in.

Lyrics:

いざという時を予期してそれなりに整えてきたはず / 
の心の準備も蓋を開ければ驚く程足らず / 
悪魔が本腰を入れる 事切れる瞬間は / 
あくまで理不尽かつ 無慈悲な抜き打ちなんだ / 
隣がぽっかり空くなり 座席がまだ生暖かい / 
間に誰かしらがすかさず後釜に座ってしまい / 
かけがえのない存在が唐突に欠けたって / 
傍目には昨日までと同様 とりたてて / 
支障をきたさず 私情も挟まず、案外 通常営業 / 
可能な日常は大層残酷なリアリティショー / 
いやはや 残された我々は否応なしに / 
世界の終わりと始まりを目の当たりに / 

You weren't just a cat or a dog, but a companion in my life in this journey that we walk along. 
I often stop and wonder where you've gone, and promise that you'll never be another lost or forgotten song. 
The moment that I'd walk through the door, you'd always run over to meet me, affectionately greet me. 
I miss playing with your paws, gone but not forgotten and I'm coping with your loss. 

最善を尽くしたと仮に言えたとしても揚げ足を / 
取りがちな後悔は今回も重箱の隅々を / 
自らつついて、繁殖期を迎える してやれなかったあれ / 
やこれやを並べて罪悪感に操られ / 
己を責め続けるのは単なる自己満 共に過ごした / 
時間に誇りを持たなきゃ 君の生きた証が台無しだ / 
胸の奥の空洞は一向に塞がらず時々ズキズキ / 
するけど、突き詰めると そのうずきは不滅の結び付き / 
今生の別れ際に負った傷ましい傷跡 / 
も涙ながらに向き合えば愛おしいキスの跡 / 
悲しみを慎み忘れる努力のたまもの / 
と明日へ向かう原動力は別物だもの /

今生の別れ際に負った傷ましい傷跡 / 
も涙ながらに向き合えば愛おしいキスの跡 / 
悲しみを慎み忘れる努力のたまもの / 
と明日へ向かう原動力は別物だもの /

Kaigen is a rapper and producer from Tokyo, Japan. From his early work with the Melbourne based experimental collective Curse ov Dialect to his current work as a solo artist, Kaigen has made a name for himself with his distinctive rapidfire flow and his ear for beats that combine the lush experimentation of the late 90s underground with drums that hit hard and give no quarter.

Kaigen's collaboration with Honolulu emcee Meiso, Kaigen21Meiso, set the stage for Kaigen's fully developed sound, establishing him as a true artist of the form, able to manipulate the listener's emotions with or without their linguistic comprehension. When Meiso later translated the lyrics to Kaigen's solo album Re: bloomer, the underground learned that depths of poetic imagery and political reality lay behind his style.

Having worked and toured with artists as varied as Shing02, Sole, Awol One, Busdriver, Ceschi, Myka 9, Louis Logic, K-The-I???, Factor, Jel, Odd Nosdam, Thavius Beck, and Ras G, Kaigen is a pivotal player in the ongoing renaissance of underground rap. And as a member of the group TGB (with Orko Eloheim of Nephlim Modulation System) and the founder of Fake Four Japan, he continues to pay it forward as he pushes the boundaries of both the music and the scene, moving them ever closer to fulfilling their true potential.
