Lipphead is a production duo consisting of producers Blockhead and Eliot Lipp. Together they create playful instrumental hip hop creations that traverse wide musical territories.

Releasing via Michigan label Young Heavy Souls, the duo has crafted a truly individual sonic aesthetic that benefits from the significant wealth of musical talent and experience they both bring to the project.

Illustrated by artist Maddie Chaffer, the titular Lipphead character serves as the group’s mascot and as a tongue-in-cheek personification of the duo’s fused styles.

"On "The Squirrel from Ipanema", there was a subtle Astrud Gilberto vibe, so we leaned into that. Eliot took what was a fairly organic, sample-based mid-tempo track and spun it into a dope synthy electronic type thing. That process is really what this whole album is."

- Blockhead

"The Squirrel From Ipanema '' is first taste from the full length Lipphead album “In The Nude” due for release via Young Heavy Souls June 24th, and set to be available on digital, cassette, and vinyl formats.

The Squirrel From Ipanema

Lipphead (production duo Blockhead and Eliot Lipp) return with a second block rocking single from their debut album 'In The Nude'.

The cheekily titled 'Don't Worry Be Horny' is a reference both to the vocal sample that introduces the track, and the prolific use of brass throughout this glorious clash of electro synths and classic funk stylings. These two producers specialize in creating playful instrumental hip-hop that traverses numerous musical territories. 

Illustrated by artist Maddison Chaffer - the titular Lipphead character is an integral feature of the project serving as the group’s mascot and as a tongue-in-cheek personification of the duo’s fused styles. This talented triumvirate of musicians and artist combine perfectly to connect with their audience via quirky, smile-inducing sonics and visuals that could engage even the most hard nosed folk.

In their own words Lipphead explains further:

"I would say, with this album in general, it was both of us taking things we were working on that we liked but couldn’t find a home for. For us this was a very "there are no rules" type venture. We allowed ourselves to be silly and unconventional with all these songs. "Don’t Worry Be Horny" was a tip of the hat to Bobby McFerrin and born out of a somewhat goofy vocal sample. Part of the goal was to take something and turn it into something else entirely."

- Blockhead

"My favorite thing about the record is the audio cocktail that comes together when our two styles are blended. It’s refreshing to make music with such a loose process. We found ourselves focusing on our strengths, and trusting that our individual styles would complement each other.”

- Eliot Lipp
