Grieves - What You Need

What kind of name is Joeypresents and who the hell is this character anyway? Well…whoever he is and wherever he's from, Mr. Joeypresents is officially the WINNER of the "Don't Think" remix contest. CONGRATS, Sir Joeypresents!  You can check out all the remixes at http://tinyurl.com/DontThinkRemixContest

Choosing a winner was not easy for us. There were over 70 remix entries and many of them were strong contenders for the #1 spot. After much deliberation, No Bird Sing and Sage Francis decided that Joeypresents' overall composition, mix and musicality earned him the blue ribbon. There are many honorable mentions to be sure, but a special shout out goes to Dilly Dilly as she was the only producer who made it into everyone's "top 3" list. What ultimately kept Dilly away from the top slot may have been the sound/EQ of the mix, but what we most enjoy about it is the original vocals she added to the project. There were in fact a few people who probably could have probably won this contest with a better overall mix. We can't be too nit-picky as we understand there was a relatively short amount of time for people to bang this remix out, but having a better EQ and overall mix should be kept in mind for future contests.  

In addition to the official SFR winner, we had announced that the person who receives the most votes at www.tinyurl.com/DontThinkRemixContest would win the "popular vote" trophy. That honor goes to Moxe of Spain who not only put an electro/danceclub twist to the song but must have put on a hell of a campaign as he got more than double the votes of anyone else. Joeypresents didn't receive a single public vote, which I find interesting to note. Haha. Funny how that works out. Alas, big ups to Moxe for being able to rally so many fans. 

Lastly, we want to reiterate how agonizing this whole process. There's a ton of talent out there, people from many different states and countries who deserve recognition for their work, so we're going to leave these remixes up unless it is requested by the producer to take them down. Additionally, feel free to put the music up on your own youtube and soundcloud pages. Thank you all for helping us lose sleep this weekend.

Oh, wait, can't forget why we decided to do this remix contest in the first place…
No Bird Sing's "Definition Sickness" album drops on November 12th. Pre-sale deals are at www.tinyurl.com/DefinitionSickness

Congrats once again to Joeypresents, Dilly Dilly, and Moxe.

STRAAAAAAANGE FAMOUS!

"Vonnegut Busy" - Sage Francis [COPPER GONE]

Pre-Order SLEEP's new album "OREGON FAILURE" on SIGNED CD at http://tinyurl.com/sleeporegonfailure

"SUBSTANCES" is the second leak from "Oregon Failure", featuring CESCHI (Fake Four) and ONRY OZZBORN (Dark Time Sunshine/Grayskul), and is available for FREE DOWNLOAD!

Produced by Denver's MAULSKULL, Sleep of Oldominion's 'Oregon Failure' is a sorely needed return to spitting bars for the genre. Set to Maulskull's heavy hitting, up-tempo dreamtrap, the album's themes touch on trial and error, effort and failure, and ultimately perseverance. A master of poly-rhythmic turnarounds, chopping double time, Sleep builds up cadence the way Diplo builds towards the drop. Never coming off phony or Pollyannaish, young go-hards and old school heads alike can identify with the anthems of 'Oregon Failure'.

Features By Pigeon John, Xperience, Ceschi and Onry Ozzborn!

STRANGE FAMOUS TIL THE GRAVE TAKES US MINIMIX by Buddy Peace

"Seat At The Table" from HOUSE OF BEES 3 available on CD + MP3 at Strange Famous Records: www.tinyurl.com/HouseOfBees3

Produced by B. DOLAN 
Engineering & Additional Synth Programming by DS3K & Adam Schneider 
Mixed by DS3k
Cuts by Buddy Peace

Strange Famous consigliare B. DOLAN has never been one to put a hand over his mouth when it comes to controversial issues, and the timing couldn't be better for his return.  Addressing peers who profit off black culture while remaining silent in the face of white supremacy, "SEAT AT THE TABLE" has more than enough lyrical presence to match the thundering bass of a self-produced trunk shaker.  For extra help serving this meal, Dolan's tapped up-and-coming San Antonio spitter WORLDWIDE, who rides the beat effortlessly and addresses nouveau riche rappers lusting after the same old exploitative forms of power and wealth.  

As he ramps up for a very busy 2015--the HOUSE OF BEES 3 mixtape drops Feb. 2nd and a highly anticipated official LP is planned for the first quarter of the year--SEAT AT THE TABLE reminds us why Dolan is one of the most dominant voices in indie rap, and teases some exciting new production wrinkles to come.

B. Dolan ft. Worldwide - "Seat At The Table"

"Taikonaut" is the first leak from James Hancock’s NEW ANIMAL EP , available for FREE DOWNLOAD at www.StrangeFamous.com on January 27!

James Hancock contributed production to the Sage Francis song "ID Thieves" from his 2014 LP "Copper Gone".

NEW ANIMAL is the product of submersion in chaos, experimentation, deconstruction and risk.

Hancock began building the EP in the spring of 2014 and completed the bulk of the project within a few months, a prolific feat inspired by the energetic, anxious and joyful months leading up to the birth of his daughter. Toronto/Berlin female vocalist Leonita added vocal wailings, wordless textures and simple lyric chants that highlight the sense of urgency and emotional quality of Hancock’s music. Hancock’s own vocals are sampled throughout the EP, as well as various manipulated field recordings. NEW ANIMAL is at once a departure and taking a stance, with Hancock expanding and asserting himself as a multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer of work that transcends stylistic boundaries.

B. Dolan's KILL THE WOLF LP, out July 10, 2015 on Strange Famous / Speech Development! Exclusive pre-order packs (SIGNED CD, Vinyl LP, Cassette, MP3 & more) available at https://tinyurl.com/BDolanKTW

In the EU, pre-orders available at: http://tinyurl.com/KillTheWolfSpeechDev

Pre-order on iTunes (USA): http://tinyurl.com/iTunesKillTheWolf
Pre-order on iTunes (UK): http://itun.es/gb/3e0M6

B. Dolan's latest record is the self-produced "KILL THE WOLF", a sweeping, powerful opus five years in the making. The album reinforces Dolan's status as a complex lyricist and introduces him as a ambitious, versatile producer, dedicated as ever to concept and vision over fleeting hip-hop trends.

This sophomore studio effort on STRANGE FAMOUS RECORDS / SPEECH DEVELOPMENT features a supporting cast of talent from a wide range of musical backgrounds, including AESOP ROCK, BUCK 65, ALIAS, CECIL OTTER (Doomtree), KATHLEEN STUBELEK (Circle Takes the Square), DS3K, BUDDY PEACE, AUPHEUS, and the late DAVID LAMB (Brown Bird).

It would be easy for an album to go astray amidst such varying styles, but Dolan stays in firm command as the expert conductor, driving the album's layered and visionary sound. "KILL THE WOLF" sets out with a goal of demolishing the boundaries of what was previously thought possible in a B. Dolan record; bringing the best techniques from his catalogue into a new era of production value by fusing live guitars, analog synths, violins and upright bass with formidable vocals and intricate lyrics.

Five years after shaking the foundations of underground rap with his "Fallen House, Sunken CIty" LP, B. Dolan emerges from the earth, battle-tested, clear-eyed, and sharper than ever.

The time has come to Kill the Wolf.

(beamon first verse)
i walk through the door my hair hanging 
these bitches want a hotline bling 
i'm head banging 
young sharp shooter got some ghosts in his sanctum 
young beam dead but got the flow of a angel 

young beam froze
throw a angel on the floor 
coldest motherfucker walking 
like my ankles in the snow 

while i'm sleeping in the garden 
100 demons creeping slow 
when young beamon heart shatter 

lord of the ice 
with my corpse in the fire
bitch of course ima ride with this voice in my mind 

(beamon hook)
winter sky falls down 
tall shadows 
all this is mine 
winter sky falls down 
tall shadows 
all this is mine
awgh 

(beamon comes back)
rain on my body while 
these lames at a party
long hair like a mermaid bitch 

young beamon is the one 
screaming like a banshee
probably bleeding 
cut his lungs open 

open open open 
your door up 
knocking everything 
unloading everything on you 

i'm gone til the morning 
young stankonia 
3000 andres 
i flow like all of em, bitch 

(beamon hook)
oh get away from me
oh get away from me
oh get away from me 
oh bitch, get away from me

(beamon continues) 
drag em to the swamp 
a dragon like im dragonite 
a bullet marsh is where i go 
it feel like gears of war 5
got a gun made of blood 
bitch be shooting out knives
full body gundam suit 
wrist dipped in some wine nigga 

(beamon ends)
they got me fucked up 
they got me so fucked up damn
man fuck what they saying to me, ay
i do this shit on my own, damn
damn, aye, my wrist down there

aye, aye, my wrist down there
