ITSRAP Round-Up Vol.2 12/2014

There's a reason why the teacher and student relationship has stood the test of time. It's a bond that has been throughly documented in texts such as Robert Greene's 'Mastery;' from 'The Odyssey' to 'The Karate Kid,' this dynamic has become commonplace in all art forms. Naturally, it would not take long for this relationship to find it's way into the world of Hip-Hop. Between Jay Z and Kanye West, Dr. Dre and Eminem, and Large Professor and Nas, it's no surprise that this model breeds greatness.

While KRS-One and Torae haven't cemented that connection just yet, "Klick Clique" could be the start of something new. Linking the Teacha with Da Young Veteran, the track serves as a reminder that the underground sound is alive and well. As both emcees ride DJ JS-1's supplied production; KRS with his consonance heavy bars and Torae with his lyrical gymnastics -- "Klick Clique" is one of the many standout tracks on DJ JS-1's latest compilation album, It Is What It Isn't, which is out now on iTunes and all major digital retailers, and is available on CD through via Fat Beats and UGHH. Cop the project from The Rock Steady Crew triple threat, today.

Daktyl is a multi-instrumentalist with a diverse musical experience. He uses beat-driven grooves that merge Hip-hop, Soul, Garage and Bass for music that is equally relevant and exciting on both sides of the Atlantic. Daktyl first emerged on our radar when he conquered two official remixes for Dawn Golden’s album Still Life over the summer, which have sense collected over 1 million views together. A coveted sound across BBC Radio 1 & 1xtra over the past year, he’s also just completed a 32-date tour with Slow Magic and additional official remixes for heavy hitters such as Flosstradamus and Dirty South. Cyclical is a work of art from beginning to end and brings forth a unique sound, merging all modern genres with a futuristic approach, that we’ve all been hungering for but have yet to hear.

Vocal production on "Forgettable" by David Burris, Nicole Weisberg and Kyle Draper at Manifest Music in Santa Monica, California.

"Reggae-hip-hop partner of DJ Maars and longtime hip-hop producer in his own right, Tom Showtime, comes correct at the close of the year with this original boom-bap hip-hop cut. You all know the recipe: a fat break, a sample from a sixties or seventies groove (in this case The Round Robin Monopoly’s sinuous and wah-wah drenched Life Is Funky) and someone to drop dope verbals. That’ll be D’Fro then – and you know you can always rely on a man named after his hairstyle. Life sure is funky, ain’t it?"

"I wrote this song as a dedication to all the boys growing up without fathers who now have to try and fill those big shoes.  I wanted to tell the story of how they have to grow up fast, lose their innocence so young, and the damage it does (no matter your race).  The interlude that follows deals with racism, and how people of color have to have these tough conversations with their children that others parents don't.  It's hard to explain to a five year old that because of the color of their skin, they will be treated differently.  But, that's a reality for us." - Rapsody
