On June 10th, Los Angeles hip hop group The Kleenrz (Self Jupiter of Freestyle Fellowship and Kenny Segal of TeamSupreme) are back with their sophomore release Season Two. The Kleenrzs have put together another record that falls in the dark film noir setting of their debut, constructed with an uncompromising lens over Los Angeles culture. The Kleenrz will release Season Two on vinyl and digital formats June 10th with The Order Label and there’s a lot in store. Season Two picks up right where their debut ended, splashing fresh paint on the canvas and heating things up through raw lyricism and organic production. 12 new episodes full of blood, mystery, and mayhem, served with the freshest of hip hop styles you can find from this era.

Described by The Kleenrz themselves, “Season Two is left coast, Southern, dark, messy, beautiful, inventive, cool, fun and frothy. However, as always with our music, there’s always nuggets of truths wrapped in with horror that reflects what we see and hear everyday.” The lyrical storylines on Season Two were solely written under the guise of Self Jupiter. Kenny Segal lays down creatively disturbing sample interludes, dynamic multi-instrumentalism and head nodding snare and kick drum. It’s all formulated under a lush scheme of cohesion between the two that touches every corner of hip hop and builds on the creative luminance of their first venture.

Features on Season Two bring together many roots of LA music culture, including Busdriver, Myka 9, Penthouse Penthouse, Del Tha Funky Homosapien, D-Styles, Sach, Abstract Rude, AWOL One, Grouch, and Eligh. Everyone featured brought their uniqueness to the LP, adding to The Kleenrz legacy in the most proper of ways. Season Two is absolute heat from Self Jupiter and Kenny Segal, imaginatively weaving some of the darkest corridors of society together and giving it a new world to thrive in.

FAB - Workin On My Shiiieeet

This song was inspired by the 1990 film, Jacob's Ladder.

The Ladder

Maseo of De La Soul loved the record so much, he kindly put together this exclusive mix of Vursatyl's debut album Crooked Straights. Buy it here: http://geni.us/VursatylCrooked
If you've caught Blackalicious on tour over the last fifteen years or so, you will have witnessed first hand the prodigious talent of Portland based rapper and singer Vursatyl.
Now 24 years into his rap career, Crooked Straights marks a new chapter in Vurstatyl's story; unbelievably this is the first time he's taken centre stage to release a solo record. Full of warm, soulful, Dilla-esque hip hop beats created largely by local Portland producers, Vursatyl provides a master-class in the art of lyricism with a record which surely cements his reputation as one of the most respected artists in the hip hop community. Conscious lyrics delivered with a sense of fun and a touch of swagger makes this a ‘must check’ record for fans of golden era Hip Hop.
‘Crooked Straights is my conflict. This Gold Chain wearin’, clothes hound, fly guy is "Crooked". He’s also something of a taboo in "conscious Hip Hop". But I also strive to keep things positive, both in mind and word... That's the "Straights".’

With his debut solo release ‘Crooked Straights’ gaining support from the likes of HipHopDX and Okayplayer, we present two more missiles from the album, packaged with a previously unreleased remix from Jake One.
Showcasing Vursatyl’s fearsome lyrical skills to the fullest, ‘It’s Nothing’ is a raw slice of bragging, up-tempo hip hop; a reminder not to mess with this prodigiously talented and hard working veteran of the rap game.
Remixing Vursatyl’s awesome ‘Bring It To A Halt’ is the one and only Jake One, part of the legendary Rhymesayers Entertainment crew and one half of Tuxedo alongside Mayer Hawthorne. Having previously worked with a virtual ‘who’s who’ of hip hop artists, Jake One blesses Vursatyl with a vintage remix, rolling menacingly like a piece of heavy artillery.
Also included is the fiery original version of ‘Bring It To A Halt’ featuring cuts by DJ Flip Flop, plus instrumentals of both tracks; perfect weapons for DJs and MCs to get busy with.


It's Nothing / Bring It To A Halt (plus Jake One Remix)

Vursatyl - Bring It To A Halt (Jake One Remix)

Mark Redito - Truly (airynore btlg)

I Got It (DJ Spinna Remix) is 3rd Remix from Vursatyl's new album Crooked Straights. DJ Spinna and Vursatyl have been planning to work on new music and this is the first track of more collaborations between these two artist. 

'I Got It' is the declaration of what has always been Vursatyl's main focus: Good Music. Yet a clarification that this new chapter will be concise, direct and relentless. No unnecessary moves. Just good Hip Hop Music. 

Many great artists have been contributing to this first pace setter project by Vursatyl. Artists such as Maseo of De La Soul, Jake, One, Vitamin D and now DJ Spinna. DJ Spinna provides the perfect second movement to what the original version to 'I Got It' started. DJ Spinna couples his soulfuly funky and hypnotic bassline, with the perfect selection of warm, scenic chords to give 'I Got It' a groove that sets the perfect vibe to ride and/or vibe to non-stop. 

'I Got It (DJ Spinna Remix) sets the tempo for much more of that magnetic, soulful Hip Hop that Vursatyl is increasingly coming with on a regular.

I chase my poison tail 
and get so high that voices fail. 
I heard that when you in a fucked up space no one can hear you signal help 
I tried to set 'em straight 
Tell them I self medicate 
All they saw's a glitchy video but then I never show my cards 
Instead I write for stealth 
blah blah blah I cry for help 
All this belly-aching's just to say my belly's hurtin after all 
It's all endorphins though 
Or maybe every Scorpio is predisposed to never feel as cold as the first time they felt a loss 

My addiction, my obsession, my admission, my rejection, I insisted, I accepted 
My prescription carried us away 
carried us away 

Pretend I didn't know who smoked up all the mistletoe 
you'd really be surprised how innovative I can get when left alone 
And once them cravings strike, 
I knew I should say goodnight 
Want for them endorphins got me saying everything except for that 
White knuckle rodeo and failing fills my holy holes 
Staring at my phone wondering how endorphins travel via screen 
As I feel my withdrawal 
I understand them 90's songs 
Rap music has ruined me, I always want to loop my favorite part 

day to day to day is ground zero I'm 20 years im 20 inches tall 
Today today my sky has fallen, I have no resolve 


My addiction, my obsession, my admission, my rejection, I insisted, I accepted 
My prescription carried me away 
carried me away

if youre afraid they might discover your backpack past
start trap rapping
do a bunch of coke
grow a handlebar
do some more coke
there are a hundred ways to cover your backpack past
do some heroin
start a bunch of bands
do some more coke and some more heroin


i know its hard out there for a dinosaur
what you collect all those rare vinyls for?
hall closet full of timbs and adidas stripes
all you needs slim jeans and a tee tonight,
cause you've seen the light
its a new regime
there's so much fresh shit in the music scene
and staying current means fuck what it used to be.
and what you used to like.
you can choose tonight.

cause its all today
its such an awesome day
at least that’s what the dolls and the bloggers say
and what the top 40 jockeys have the callers say
fuck a yesterday dawg throw it all away
fuck a yes yaller, the dj spins links in your web crawlers
the tumblr's called first church of the dead baller
its a dot net. is we hot yet?
jpeg banner is a platter full of hot sex
write think pieces all about context
write op-eds, in a mock neck
your favorite rap album hasn’t even dropped yet

if you’re afraid they might discover your backpack past
you can do some r&b
if you’re afraid they might discover your backpack past
just make it all about your falsetto

Has-Lo

you wear huge shirts
such big jeans
buy some skinny ones
get a fitted tee
mines whitewashed
and i got em torn
it’s street though,
i got boxers on
i done grown out of gangstarr and wu-tang
all the girls here only like gucci mane
i dont know em well
thats rare taste
you can ask em on dates
but they all flake
thats cool they got stuff to do
i don’t care anyway
im just trying to screw
step into the now
being such a prude
drink a forty ounce
thisll get you loose
love free love
never dated anyone more than three months
busy doing things
what’s more important
got a pair of mcflys and a pair of jordans
keep retros
cop on the first day cause i gotta have it
plaid shirt with the rosary im not a catholic
christ head made of wood reading op-eds
and a think-piece on my fav dot net
