Concurrent with working on the Strange U project on Eglo and his instrumental album release on Black Acre, Doctor Zygote has decided to fling out some new and old tracks on a limited vinyl EP on his own Zoot imprint. With hip hop firmly as a starting point, Z explores different moods within the 6 instrumentals. One side of the EP is dark, the other more jovial.
Foregoing cover art, Z hijacked old easy listening record sleeves with spray paint to make each one individual, and also as a nod to all those (largely unremarkable) records that people wade through in order to get to the good ones. Vinyl release is on October 7, with digital to follow after, however if you buy through the bandcamp link, you can get it sooner, and in both formats.

Sunday Hangover

Divine Might Is Always Right”:

The piece reclaims divinity and power from distant symbols and elite structures, rooting them in everyday resilience — kitchen steam, braided truth, calloused hands, and improvised rhythm. Delivered in broken cadence and jazz-infused phrasing, it challenges institutional myths and asserts that true might moves off beat, speaks in silence, and refuses to bow. Each verse is a monument to lived truth; each rest, a refusal to rush the answer. The hook declares it plainly: “Mi truth don’t beg, it bite.”

"Work Ethic Mixtape"として知られていたこの作品は、完成されてる曲もあれば完成されてないレアなラフ音源まで、2006年以前にJoe StylesがBudamunkやDibiaseの家などでレコーディングでしてきた音源集である。
ほとんどがJoe Styles本人のビートのものだが、Budamunk, Dibiase, N/A, Laidlaw, Emphasisなどもプロダクションで参加している。10年前の作品"Melodical era"にも参加していた従兄弟のSoulやOYGやChali 2naの弟のLaidlawなども率いる自信のクルーSoul JugglerzのMCたちなどが参加している。
Joe StylesはロスアンゼルスのMCで10代の半ば頃からLailawなどと活動をはじめ、2002年にソロアルバム"Melodical Era"をリリース。後にKeentokers, Soul Jugglerzとして活動を始める。2009年にBudamunkと2004年頃に録ったアルバム"Budastyles Classics"をJazzy Sportからリリース。Green Butterのアルバム"Get Mad Relax"にも参加している。

These recordings on this particular project were once known as the "Work Ethic Mixtape". These songs, mostly Joe Style productions, and a few bangers from Budamunk, Dibiase, N/A, Laid Law, and Emphasis, some complete, some incomplete, and a few left alone-were constructed @budamunk's fonk house, Dibiase's Lab, and at the Soul Jugglerz Dusty Dungeon. They were gathered from numerous studio sessions, mostly the year of 2006, with some dating back early as 2003. All the tracks were compiled onto a compact disc and given to Joe Styles Keentoker brethren Budamunk. It was only for friends to listen to, but one day while Budamunk was blowing on some Bomb Tree, he thought it'd be dope for the world to hear. So if you have these special collection of songs, please roll up the Green and get Elevated to the music.......we now offer you "Elevation Music"
