The full album by SORT AFTER and Noguano, featuring important guests @kelimoon & @zukafutakuto as well as a couple beat collaborators, and even @andrew-mbaruk from Canada. This album of rugged and introspective rhymes is complete with a range of sonic landscapes that is much different from the usual SORT AFTER affair in previous times.

The rapping has a unique Australian flair and is backed by tripped out and dreamy samples, sometimes devolving into abrasive and crumbling apart sounds, while other times very chilled out or even groovy.

The album was produced, mixed and mastered by Noguano, with most vocals being recorded in Australia. Album and song artworks all made by Noguano aside from Heavy Airflow.

QP5000 & Noguano - Throw Down

Track 1 from Old Western Oasis, rhymes by @fivestacks

Lyrics:

Woohoo
Yeehaw

Ridin' across the ranch, about to rob a bank
Venom in my veins just like a rattlesnake
Bandana on to cover up my face
Got a price on my head, so I aint takin' no chances
Me and my gang, we walk up in the bank
Tell the bank teller to lead me to the safe
Take all the money, and throw it in the sack
Throw it on my back and I'm out like that
Quick, fast, Lightning Jack
Flash, take a quick sip from a flask
Gotta keep movin' with the law on my ass, I'm wanted
Dead or alive, it's time to ride, no time to hide
Anybody try to stop me, that's a homicide
So it's best that you move aside
Got a train to catch, can't miss my ride, like...
Oh shit

I'm a outlaw (outlaw), livin' it up
No rules can hold me, I'm fuckin' it up x4

Livin' life like an outlaw, always on the run
Cause I got my gun, and we're both
Ready to have some fun, don't cross me, you will catch a hot one
Don't get shot, son when I'm out of options
You can't stop them when I pop them
I will drop, I'm a undertaker
He will box them, he will box them

Old Western Oasis

One of the previously heard singles from the new album "Bugs on the Leather" by SORT AFTER & Noguano

Track artwork made by @mitchman-yeager who often works with Noguano on both art and music

full album on bandcamp

Best of Luck (feat. Keli Moon & Zukafu)

Track 1 from Bugs on the Leather

This track began with an anime sample suggested by Wes aka SORT AFTER, and Noguano flipped it with the Reaper program.

Check the full album out now on streaming sites and bandcamp!!

Bugs on the Leather

White Knightin'

The title track of the project features background vocals by Noguano and a lot of co-production help from @vrvepifania aka epifania, a very dope Brazilian producer. This is one of the oldest beats on the album, and the beat title stuck around long and strong enough to become the name of the whole project.

The whole album is available now on streaming sites!

Bugs On the Leather

One of the standout tracks from the Bugs album, this dark menacing tune was produced with the help of Jay Fehrman (@jay-fehrman) who supplied the original sampled loop. It was hit with cold verses by SORT AFTER and Keli Moon, then rounded out by the legendary Zukafu (@zukafutakuto).

A New Bar (feat. Keli Moon & Zukafu)

By far the oldest beat on the album, this one was passed around and left long unheard before being updated & rehauled and making it onto this album with SORT AFTER. This is also the first Noguano song featuring the great Andrew Mbaruk (@andrew-mbaruk from British Columbia, Canada), to surface on an official album. It of course also features Keli Moon with a newly minted account here (@kelimoon)

Traveling Spores (feat. Andrew Mbaruk & Keli Moon)

A slower jazzy track from Bugs on the Leather featuring Zukafu ( @zukafutakuto ) with a dusty smoky hazy blazin' beat

Thinly Based (feat. Zukafu)

A chill quintessential leathery track, featuring Zukafu ( @zukafutakuto ). Check out SORT AFTER on youtube and check the rest of the album on any old music site, don't be a crazy person now!

Rotten Cotton (feat. Zukafu)

Another track from Bugs on the Leather co-produced by epifania ( @vrvepifania ) from Brazil. This one has the feel of a grandiose jazz orchestra and is an epic yet very chill tune with many different emotions and aspirations it generates.

It is also the lone track to feature a taste of AI art, and I must thank @mikemaven for his help, using his program to massage my prompts and ideas into this piece. It turned out truly cool.

Heavy Airflow (feat. Bonza & Zukafu)

The closing track to Bugs on the Leather, an ode to eachother by the two rappers, about their immeasurable bond. This was another beat made around some samples suggested by SORT AFTER, and was one of 2 tracks to be remixed for the deluxe bonus edition of the album, available on other sites.
