Fusing New York streetwise sentiments with the rhythm and soul of the Mile High City, Rasp-5 and parkbreezy blend their vocal and instrumental skill sets into the turnkey record Transmitting To Space. With a centerpiece focus on their partnered songwriting and narrative structures, the EP is a clear maturation from both artists in terms of draw and scope, and furthers the burgeoning roadmap of contemporary hip-hop.

As soon as the needle drops, it's apparent that the production and lyrical standards across both individual acts have been thoroughly upgraded. They manage to hit the Nexus between sultry arrangement and walk-along spoken bars, eschewing the mean muggin' archetype in favor of a suede-laden impact. Between parkbreezy's modern meld of trip-hop and jazz modalities, and Rasp-5's inescapable command over poignant prose and mental imagery, it's a true duet of passion and flavor. For fans of hip-hop's contemporary experience and yesteryear's instrumental rap power groups, Transmitting To Space is undoubtedly the next stop on your musical journey.

@Rasp-5
@Reso

Lyrical hip-hop and raw electronic production have a key-turn relationship; The voice is the driving force atop the bedrock that is the track, and there’s virtually no limit to ways in which this relationship can and has been exploited with powerful effect. The UK progeny Reso comes from a decades-long background of experimentation and a bleeding-edge production ethos, merging his brolic style with countless genres and motifs. New York’s Rasp-5 meets his aggressive gait from the other side of the spectrum, transitioning from a background in traditional hip-hop compositions to a virulent and impactful lyricist directly at the center of a new marriage between bass-driven beats and narrative-driven songwriting. Combining their talents for a trans-Atlantic sonic dive, The Rust is incredibly excited to host the premiere of Reso and Rasp-5’s latest minted collaboration, “Steep Tech”.

The usual combination of hip-hop and bass music ingredients would have choice lyrical cuts atop a polished, synth-laden backing track, but we’re dealing with two musicians with a focus on novelty; eschewing the safer blends of jazz or trip-hop instrumental arrangements, “Steep Tech” offers an exceptionally grungy interpretation, fusing dissonant tones and the bright tails of steel-coated drums for an industrial impact. Rasp-5’s wordplay and playful call-and-response between bars rest between each sharp transient, pushing the track in parallel with its percussive underbelly. With a keen ear for leaping across territorial boundaries, Reso and Rasp-5 successfully showcase the evolving dynamics of lyrically-driven productions, keeping listeners on their toes, and our heads spinning on a perpetual swivel.

Circles [Prod. by OZ]

Some of y'all know I like to write and release more personal, poetic raps most of the time….. well in light of the recent musical tragedy that was The Hudson Project, I thought it would be appropriate to lift everyones spirits with something a little lighter.   Some straight FIRE bars about kicking it, smoking weed and being an overall hooligan. This is actually an old track Ive been sitting on, so the sound isn't the best, forgive me. Produced by OZ.

Lazy Sunday (Shits And Giggles)

Red Dress Redemption Pt. 2 (Prod. JB Goodz)

I wrote some verses over an Emancipator song that is especially important to me. It represents a time in my life that has molded who I am, despite some of the harsh outcomes. I did some real soul searching for this song, I hope you like it. 

Emancipator- Anthem (Rasp 5 Remix)

Some verses I wrote over Je Reve, one of my favorite tracks from up and coming bass music producer Clozee!!!! Share it and spread the love y'all!

Red Dress Redemption

For too long the wealthy have manipulated the laws to keep themselves in power, and to oppress and disenfranchise the poor. We must stand in solidarity and force private sector influence out of politics, and we must take the power back to the people

@lonedrum

Joining forces from across the Atlantic, Slug Wife’s brazen co-founder Seppa, their resident battle-waxer Lone Drum, and NYC’s very own Rasp-5 busted through the Scoville scale with their latest single, “Dripper”. 

Pushing bass weight through its paces and fusing low-end ferocity with hip-hop fundamentals, the track is overt, in-your-face, and resoundingly guttural. Rasp-5 stokes the fires of lyricism with sauntered bars and a liquified pattern scheme, while Seppa’s trademarked synthesis slips from out of every downbeat in a boisterous dance between prose and grit. That dance intensifies with Lone Drums audacious scratching, culminating a firestorm of both precision cuts and off-kilter jabs. It’s a staunch tip of the hat to two sounds with far more than common ground between them, curated by our three favorite ne'er-do-wells in the street.

Ghost In the Mirror is a journey narrated by the young mind of https://soundcloud.com/rasp-5

Where he puts a modern touch to the sounds of trip hop produced and composed by https://soundcloud.com/wessanderssays and approaches it as a young MC showcasing his true talent. Truly a lyrical genius, his pen is his sword.

"Ghost in the mirror" is like life after death ... who are we really??

The beat is true to the essence capturing the spooky vibe and bringing you to the dark. Taking you to the point of suspense, his words are a vehicle of accessibility to the grittiness of the track. 

Rasp 5 uses patterns and wordplay to be intricate, but also slick and digestible so that you really feel the punchlines. He's here to show you what he's capable of and spit the relentless fire with a beautiful blend of immaculate production by Wessanders. This skillful vessel of attack by Rasp 5, Wessanders, and Tygris, is a small piece of the larger Cybernetics story ... it'll blow your MIIIIIND.
