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.

Wax Future - Matters of The Heart ft Rasp-5

Happy WUMP Wednesday, folks! Today we’ve got a really special single by @Soul-Suppliers, featuring the wordsmith @Rasp-5, who is adroit at tackling complex concepts in his lyrics and masterfully painting a picture with his cutthroat flow. Oh, and in case you didn’t know, Soul Suppliers is a powerhouse funk duo consisting of WUMP artists @Pi-Wrecks and @MistOutMusic. Each of them brings a different style of funky bass music to the table, and the synergy of their two creative minds results in a hefty dose of soul and feel-good, high energy funk: hence the name Soul Suppliers.

If you’ve been living under a rock and haven’t heard the genius that is NYC-based rapper/MC/lyricist, Rasp-5, then you’re in for a real treat. Prepare to fall in love with your new favorite lyrical mastermind, as his verses take us deep into the infinite rabbit hole that is the human neocortex, or as he puts it, “the mind’s spiderweb.” Not only are Rasp-5’s lyrics a refreshing dose of originality and purposefulness in the increasingly substanceless realms of “hip-hop”, but his meticulously crafty flow and crisp articulations prove that he really is on some kind of different level than most MC’s these days. It’s clear that he’s a poet at heart, a painter with words who has no interest in following any kind of generic meter or predictable rhyme scheme, and Soul Suppliers provide the perfect canvas for him to work his magic.

The intro eases us into a dusty, old school vibe as the percussion gradually shifts from a subtle background element to a powerful, driving beat, providing the backbone for bluesy guitar licks and saxophone melodies. Right away you can tell this piece is going to be a special one, as the clean production and flawlessly layered samples instantly capture the heart and open it up to receive the transmission that Rasp-5 offers in the following moments. With familiar depictions of the esoterically psychedelic nature of the universe and playful, yet potent, articulations of inner dialogues, ‘Different Points of View’ truly offers some insight into the nature of perspective and what it means to exist within a world that is merely a reflection of our inner state of being. Add a dose of introspective honesty and a pinch of creative filter work, and you’ve got a fresh fusion of electro-soul and hip-hop that is sure to inspire producers and MC’s around the world to expand their horizons. 

‘Different Points of View’ is a masterpiece from start to finish, as it is a singularly cohesive piece that will undoubtedly get you movin’ and groovin’, particularly during the heavier sections where Pi Wrecks & Dave Kallman let loose with some tasteful aggression and grittiness. These sections offer the perfect compliment to the soulful melodies, and they give Rasp-5 the opportunity to show off his attitude and grit, demonstrating how well-rounded all 3 of these guys are in their respective crafts.

We hope you enjoy this killer new collaboration, and as always, we’re giving it away as a free download! Follow the artists and share with your friends, and spread love wherever you can. We’re all in this together.

Face Plant - Brain Damage (ft. Rasp-5)

Banding together to craft a head-splitting verbal melee, Jackson Whalan and Rasp 5 present “Time Dilation” featuring the production and musical prowess of B-Riddimz and scratches from Robbie Dude. This firebrand quartet brings hip-hop into a bold and somewhat virgin territory. From the ground up, the track is a mixing marvel that boasts a fidelity often reserved for the instrumental side of electronic production. While Whalan and Rasp 5 are lyricists of a high calibre in their own right, combined they’re venomous. The beat behind the bars is far more than just a simple backbone. It offers high-processed bass synthesis rocking the downbeat of each measure, and salacious vinyl cuts and resampled vocal chops to slice up the back end of the tune. For the headnodders, wave riders, and beat seekers, “Time Dilation” is the answer.

The Fabric EP finds Northeastern glitch hop head Tygris leading a tour through dark urban nights filled with rumbling bass and distorted voices that echo down hidden sonic passageways. All four songs flow deliberately into the next, with careful motifs connecting the entire project. It kicks off with classic rap vocal samples, ends with dirty, dense verses from the quick-witted Rasp 5, and is punctuated by a collaboration with Wax Future. 

Consistent hip-hop rhythms serve as a familiar jumping off point that listeners can lean into. This sets the stage for an interplay of experimental sound design and aggressively manipulated vocal samples. Voices are stretched and peeled apart as Tygris plies them both for their unique sonic properties and their ability to express thoughts. Precise calculations create just the right pitch and veneer on a series of bass synthesizers. Then the entire weight of the sound is tumbled to and fro, tossed, turned and mashed down like a piece of play-doh. With the vocals tumbling along in tandem, Fabric becomes a maelstrom of head-bopping psychedelic bass that’s impossible to ignore.

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.
