The funky and raw “All Over The World” is the debut single off Declaime & Madlib’s collaborative album, ‘In The Beginning (Vol. 1),’ which unearths and compiles tracks from the duo’s work together in the mid-’90s.

Longtime fans of both artists already know that these two go way back with a slew of collaborations, like ‘Illmindmuzik’ (1999), ‘Andsoitisaid’ (2001), ‘A Lil’ Light’ (2003) and ‘Expressions’ (2012), all under Declaime’s Dudley Perkins moniker. But with ‘In The Beginning,’ we’re hearing the roots of it all from these gifted, multi-talented artists who lived across the street from another as kids and whose fathers were friends.

“Madlib was on that musical genius stuff way back then … [but] we both moved and lost contact,” Declaime explains. It wasn’t until years later when Madlib formed The Lootpack that the two reconnected, with the end result being tracks like “All Over the World,” which features another longtime collaborator, MED, on the opening verse.

As Declaime explains, slappers like “All Over the World” existed on various mixtapes and B-sides throughout the years, but got “lost in the sauce for nearly two and a half decades.” But no more, because we’re hearing musical history with the release of this single and the remainder of In The Beginning when it drops.

“All Over the World” is available now through all major digital retailers and streaming platforms and can be purchased for instant-grat off the iTunes’ pre-order for ‘In the Beginning (Vol. 1),’ due out Friday, July 02. The 13 track LP of previously unreleased jewels will also be available on vinyl and CD via SomeOthaShip Connect in partnership with Fat Beats Records!

Herd Of Ya'll (feat. J-Live & Supastition)

On the dawn of a looming worldwide pandemic Athletic Mic League held an epic 4 day retreat at Wes’s creative compound. This was the first time in over 15 years the crew assembled to make music. Members traveled from California, Georgia, and Michigan (their place of origin) to reach the secret location right outside of Richmond, Virginia. No expectations were set for the retreat, therefore no one knew what the outcome would be especially after such a long hiatus. Almost immediately the Lab Techs set up several production stations throughout the compound to produce a continuous stream of non stop heaters, that set the tone for the whole thing.

The retreat represents a resurgence of one of the most innovative collectives of the late 90’s and early 2000’s. It also represents the bond of a brotherhood that has lasted for 25 years. Because of that bond and a commitment to innovation, the Mic League was able to reflect on years of impact, and influence, both as a collective and individually. Stay tuned for the continuation of this narrative through their expansion of media generation in the form of music, film, creative retreats, and technology.

The 2nd single & video “Too Smooth” off of '“E-Town General” is here. Taking production inspiration from the likes of Q-Tip & Dilla - Brainorchestra allows the dusty chops to lay a perfect landscape for rhyming. The vocal stabs & guitar licks every 4 bars keep the loop alive & vibrant for the “lifestyle” driven bars by Brain.

“3-packs, OG in elastic wrap / Yeah I did a lot of moving, but we passed the fact / Said I’m tryna start a movement - jewel talk, we too fluent / Move Jewish, wire money thru computers”

Its not a surprise the classic 90BPM is a comfortable lane for Brainorchestra. The overall mood of the tempo creates flow driven pockets & smart delivery which does not fall short on “Too Smooth”. Enjoy & watch the video + stream everywhere music is available!

“E-Town General” will be released February 4th 2021 via Copenhagen Crates in Denmark. This project is one of Brainorchestras’ best work, with the production shining just as much as the rhymes - & filled with skits that have secret beats & funny clips. Releasing on vinyl, cassette, digitally & merch will also be available!
