About uMaNg & B.B.Z. Darney and "The Black Rose Certificate":

With two full-length albums already under their belts that garnered them buzz in the underground ("Lasting Impressions" & "The Revisited"), New Jersey originated emcee uMaNg, reunites with Swedish producer B.B.Z. Darney ("The Boom Bappin' Zombie"), to complete their trilogy of albums with their label debut on Ill Adrenaline Records entitled, "The Black Rose Certificate."

Shortly after inking a deal with the label, the next eight months would find uMaNg & B.B.Z. embarking on a musical journey that would result in their most personal & brutally honest record to date. The title "The Black Rose Certificate", while a representation of many a symbolism, reflects the duo's state of mind, the hand they've been dealt as typecasts in society. Since being impossible to produce a "black rose" also stands for purest devotion. A kind of devotion that uMaNg & B.B.Z. put forth in their respected crafts.

Over the course of 14 tracks, the duo sonically stick to their traditional "boom-bap" roots, whilst also bringing sounds that range from "darker" to "aggressive", to even more "melancholic". The production B.B.Z. Darney showcases is heavier, more conceptual than previous releases. uMaNg has been notable throughout his career for being a clever & witty, punchline heavy emcee. While staying true to his stylings on the mic, he gets deeper & more transparent than past albums have suggested. For every braggadocious track, there is another where the Jersey emcee bares his soul through the pen, opening up about past discretions, family HIStory, amongst other topics on the emcee's mind. Also unlike "Lasting Impressions" & "The Revisited", that found the duo being the lone contributors to their works alongside the legendary DJ Grazzhoppa, they now bring along with them close collaborators as well as in-label artists. The album features tracks from the likes of Brick City veteran and close Artifacts affiliate Beneficence, Purpose of the Tragic Allies camp, close friends HexOne & Tek-nition of the critically acclaimed duo Epidemic, and Hashfinger to lend their talents and further enhance the album's disposition.

uMaNg "Correct Techniques" (prod. by B.B.Z. Darney)

produced by L'Orange, vocals by Kool Keith.
from the upcoming Mello Music Group album "Persona" 3/10
https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/persona/id952541263

Ever feel 7 foot 13 and Green? Yeah, Kool Keith does.  MMG producer L'Orange opens the gate to another realm on this new song from the upcoming Mello Music Group album "Persona."  L'Orange's Haunting vocal sample and stutter step drums prod UltraMan to contemplate just how he feels - luckily Kool Keith has no shortage of descriptors.  Sometimes Keith feels happy to stuff the ball in the basket and get two points; sometimes Keith feels rap is his puppet on strings; sometimes he's mostly jolly chillin' on the couch to poli.  The marriage of L'Orange's left of center heroine nod, prohibition era sampling, noirscape production with Kool Keith's legendary Ultramagnetic founding, creator of Billy Miligan split personality sci-fi rap - aka Dr. Octagon, aka Black Elvis, aka Dr. DOOM, aka Tashawn Dorsett, aka Crazy Lou, aka Poppa Large, aka, Keith Korg, aka Mr. Gerbik, or just plain Mr. Thronton to some, is just plain as blissful as Kanye & Kim on a motorcycle riding through the grand canyon.  The point is, let your mind wander while you listen to this new gem from L'Orange & Kool Keith.

The Blind Shake 
Celebrate Your Worth
133GONE
Out October 21st, 2016

The Blind Shake, three intense men from Minneapolis creating
dense, mystical music: in 1974, Bernie Taupin, feeling on top
of the world as Elton John’s “Rocket Man” soared up the charts
in 1972, suffered a sudden sense of vertigo outside the Spanish
villa where he was vacationing. In a beam of black light he saw
and heard the future of the future, a loud vision of The Blind
Shake, making music that made Elton John’s “starman as everyman”
song seem like so much pastel tissue paper, wet and dissolving
in a pretty porcelain toilet.

The real deal, 'Celebrate Your Worth' is an intense web of
connections of bands and sounds unknown to Taupin, strange
sounds from Chrome through Bailter Space through Michael
Yonkers and John Reis and with tendrils extending throughout
an incredible universe of fantastic unknown bands and sounds.
“What the hell am I doing?” Taupin cries, now on his knees,
staring at the sky. Witness the Blind Shake in all their mystical,
wonderful strangeness and energy.
