Presented for your consideration; the point where HOUSE OF BEES VOL. 2 almost jumped the shark.  Originally intended as an album-ender, "PROVIDENCE PLACE MALL" finds B. Dolan rejoining labelmate CURTIS PLUM to redo <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIBHqlXklqk">Biz Markie's "Albee Square Mall"</a>, with an anti-corporate flip of the old chestnut.  

The result was a fun track, but we ultimately decided to end the LP on a different note.  Enjoy the free download, and remember:

--"Hell of a Year" LYRICS--
------------------------------------- 
It's been a hell of a year but I'm mentally prepared
to do a dance around the next couple medical scares.
I'm Fred Astaire with the metal wearing quickly off my tap shoes,
so I step quietly the way that cat's move.
But I'm bear-like. My head trapped in dear lights.
You can call me John, I'm writing letters to the dark side of the moon tonight.
My lovely Jane, you went away but the pain stayed,
so I'm sending you a package to the address where you traded names.
I made no claims on the identity theft.
I'm more concerned about the home with no amenities left.
It's already a mess. The dust piles like your junk mail,
so I eat away depression and crush the scale.
You find yourself on the opposite side of the spectrum...
emaciated on a strict diet of bed crumbs.
Me? I choose to wallow. I'll just swim in my fat.
You refuse to swallow so I see ribs from the back.
This isn't an attack--it's an admission of guilt.
I'm living in the past, kissing your ass, sipping your milk.
But it's all bone and curdle. I saw stones in a circle.
I stood in the middle, told myself riddles in a robe that's purple.
The murder weapon was an icicle.
Is that the reason why I'm standing in this puddle with my eyes so full?
I fight feelings like a war on drugs.
I'm a chemist with a test tube addiction, born through coffee mugs.
Our baby now is "all growed up."
Your car is still dead in my driveway while I wait for the tow truck.
And you know what? I know I drove you away.
I still don't think it was wrong so I don't know what to say.
It's been a tough year. You say that life ain't fair?
Guess what, baby...life ain't. Thems the breaks.
You say that life ain't worth it. But it is. You've gotta' work it.
Nobody's life is perfect

Yeah, you've been dealt a bad hand, placed against a stacked deck.
Been through all the cat scans and bad checks.
But I slashed your debt…not your wrists.
I couldn't help with anything else that became cancerous.
Halfway people with a full baby to bury
took a flame to the papier-mache sanctuary.
When the smoke clears, try not to stare directly in the light.
Also, don't stay in the dark as if that's what life is like.
It's just a series of unfortunate events,
but the messages we get are more important than death.
What's the rush?
I've got a shortness of breath.
What's the rush?
Running from you running from me.
It's the rush. The crush. The lust. The love-trust.
So what's the trouble? The busted bubble? The unjust?
That's just the way the cookie crumbles. It does suck.
Suck it up. We're all looking, but nothing's enough.
We used each other as a crutch. The clutch. The shift switches.
You couldn't just adjust, you combusted and ripped pictures.
This is why I'm not considered a saint?
Well, guess what? I ain't.

It's been a hell of a year...
You said that I ain't there, I ain't care, and life ain't fair.
It's been a hell of a trip...
You say my mind's unfit, I've been flip, and I ain't shit.
It's been a hell of a life...
You say that I ain't like the way I write and that ain't right.
It's been a hell of an attempt...
You say that I ain't meant for promises unkept
Well, guess what, darlin'…I'm a keep keep callin'.
Guess what, darlin'…I'm a keep keep callin'.

BACKGROUND STORY:
As it is World AIDS Days and I have thought about these children every single day since being acquainted with them almost two years ago, I decided that I can no longer sit on this song. In January of 2011 I visited Durban, South Africa to help mentor and provide care for HIV-infected children. For me, it was a crash course education on their situation, culture, history, and various forms of treatment (or lack there of.) With a reported 5.6 million people living with HIV, South Africa has the highest HIV infection rate in the world. That is mainly due to misinformation propagated by the government as well as the people's lack of access to education and proper medical care. With so many people dying of AIDS in this area, many children are often left to fend for themselves in overcrowded "orphanages", many of which have no electricity or running water according to what I witnessed. 

My trip to Durban and the surrounding rural areas was organized by people who were filming a documentary on a community of people who were receiving alternative treatment along with their normal ARV (anti-retroviral) treatment. I joined a group of national and international poets whose task it was to make a connection with the children and communicate their story to the world. Toward the end of my stay I wrote a song called UBUNTU (Water Into Wine) which I was initially hoping to release as a companion piece to the film. The documentary will probably do a much better job of explaining the vast array of emotions we all went through, but as it still isn't completed I figured it might be best to just release the song now. 

The artwork for UBUNTU is a portrait of Nonoti, one of the younger girls who made a deep and everlasting impression on everyone she met. We lost Nonoti to HIV-related complications earlier this year, so along with the children I name in this song, and all the great people I met during my stay in Durban, a special dedication goes out to her (R.I.P.) 
If you're ever given the opportunity to visit Africa and provide a helping hand, I highly recommend it. You will learn more than you could ever imagine about yourself, humanity and the world in general.

Much love and many thanks to everyone involved!

Atmosphere - It Ain't The Prettiest ft. Brother Ali, Carnage The Executioner, Haphduzn

I've had the pleasure of being interviewed and featured in some of the most incredible publications but the most entertaining and interesting interviews Ive ever had was with the one and only Nardwuar. During our interview he gave me The original program to a Muhammad Ali exhibition fight in Vancouver and several records. First thing I did when I got home from the tour was listen through the records and make a beat from one of them. I ended up recording this song. 

Doot doola doot doot!

LYRICS:
"I want you to be happy. And um...that's like really what it comes down to. As one of my good friends in this world.
Um, I mean I hope that whatever happens that you
will be like...real happy. Not some sort of fake, 'settling' happy. You know? Huh."
Maze broken,
She’s runnin’,
Feet swollen,
He’s comin’,
Cheese stolen,
And before he even knows it she’s gone.
Tea cups sittin’ on the hollow tree stumps.
He’s dumped, and can’t seem to swallow these lumps.
The beat goes on.
Same fire,
New passion,
Old flame,
Traded in for a summer fling.
There’s nothing like that sweet old song.
Tip over root, 
The trees bend,
The leaves blend
in with the open wound.
The freeze frames keep him warm.
The day’s frost
It's scraped off
The weight loss
The new sign that says "keep off"
He speeds off into the storm.
Out of spite the lighting strikes him twice.
He’s peaking out on the pike and cheatin life,
Peeling out on the lawn.
Now he’s idling, 
Time is dwindling,
In his mind he’s figuring 
out life’s about the little things.
And his labyrinth,
In all his magnificent,
Can only keep the mice trapped.
The princess is innocent.
She doesn’t belong… 

(I never thought I’d miss you.)
They had a ceremony where he put her in a bridle...
the headstall.
She stopped to think for a minute, 
and in a split second went AWOL. 
(I never thought I’d miss you)
He'd draw in the chin as an expression of resentment or scorn.
Pulling on the reigns, 
the bridle, 
the shower, 
the storm.
The maze, 
the high tower, 
clouds are at war…
The reigns, 
the bridle, 
the shower, 
the storm…
The maze, 
the high tower, 
the clouds are at war.
The clouds are at war.
The clouds are at war.
(I never thought I'd miss you.)

"Bridle" by Sage Francis

From the "Working Man" album: www.tinyurl.com/WorkingManLP
Acid-tongued emcee Prolyphic takes a personal approach and goes for the throat like never before on his new album with producer Buddy Peace. In the song “DRUG DEALER” we hear about doctors pushing pharmaceutical products on his mother to treat her cancer, and why her ultimate decision was to refuse them.

This track is the 2nd leak from Prolyphic & Buddy Peace's "WORKING MAN" album, dropping April 30 on Strange Famous Records.

"DRUG DEALER" - Prolyphic & Buddy Peace, WORKING MAN LP

A bonus cut from the "Working Man" LP. Digital version and CD package deals are available at Strange Famous Records: http://tinyurl.com/WorkingManSFR
The digital version is also available on Bandcamp: http://strangefamousrecords.bandcamp.com/album/working-man
TWELVE PERCENTERS touches upon unemployment woes, the blue collar struggle, and basically acts as the mission statement for Prolyphic & Buddy Peace's "Working Man" LP (www.tinyurl.com/WorkingManSFR). This song is a free offering for the day-to-day survivors living check to check..."because survival's getting expensive." 

The song's title is in reference to Rhode Island's 12% unemployment rate which was a national high just a couple years back. Prolyphic uses this driving, atmospheric Buddy Peace beat to display his disillusionment with the downward spiral of our economy while speaking on behalf of the world's working class in all its frustration. Since many of the other tracks on "Working Man" delve into each specific issue that is touched upon in this song, it was decided to remove Twelve Percenters from the album and let it act as a teaser for what people can expect when the LP drops on April 30th (Strange Famous Records.)
