birthday cake 1.5

it's his birthday today and it would be dope if everyone gave him a listen

he's from the bay area and has a ton of work but this is the latest check him out!

Bob Vylan

RIYL: slowthai, Denzel Curry, grime, City Morgue

His song "We Live Here" came out recently. He's like a more punk version of slowthai. Here's a BandCamp Daily interview:

Grayness descends over a London fish-and-chips shop as a man in a Crass shirt and Doc Martens hoists a middle finger at the camera. This might be a well-worn act of defiance where punk is concerned, but this particular middle finger doesn't belong to a white man decrying the ills of capitalism or railing against the banalities of the workaday world. It belongs to Bobby Vylan, and he's calling out every bigot in England. "We didn't appear out of thin air," he jeers, half screaming, half sneering. "WE LIVE HERE!"

So goes the chorus of Vylan's strident anti-racist anthem "We Live Here." Equal part grime cadence and punk attitude, the song decries a localized history of racism that includes the fascists of Britain First, the racially motivated 1993 murder of 18-year old Stephen Lawrence, and the first time Vylan himself—the son of a Jamaican father and a white mother—was called the n-word on the playground.

"I think all Black people have that story about the first time they were called 'n—r'," Vylan says. "They'll probably remember it forever. I mean, I couldn't tell you about the third time it happened—or the most recent time—but definitely the first time. And in my case, I asked my mum, who is white, what it means. And her response was, 'It's a bad word.'"

The London-based Vylan was raised in Ipswich, a little over an hour's drive from the capital. It's an area with an eclectic musical history that includes '80s punk favorites the Adicts, ubiquitous pop cherub Ed Sheeran, and grindcore progenitors Extreme Noise Terror. Vylan grew up listening to pirate radio and grime sets by Dizzee Rascal, Skepta, and Stormzy.

"I started out by emulating and mimicking rappers and developing that skill over time, but I was always open to new genres and subcultures," he explains. "I was experiencing black music but also punk music and folk and country as early as I can remember. That's what made me want to be a part of it."

We Live Here—and its take-no-prisoners title track—was inspired by Vylan's young daughter, who randomly announced, 'We live here!' one day while playing in the family's front room. "She often says very beautiful things with very little reason behind it," he explains with a laugh. "But I knew it was going to be the title for something. Eventually, I came to the conclusion that she'll have the same experience that I did. One day someone will call her 'n—r,' and I can't shield her from that."

While the song addresses racism specifically, the album We Live Here is a sweeping indictment of Vylan's homeland and its ridiculous monarchy, as evidenced by tracks like "England's Ending," "Lynch Your Leaders" and the serpentine "Intro," on which Vylan intones, "The price of life is on the rise/ And this country is making a killing.

"This is the England I know," he explains. "I was born here, but when someone calls you 'n—r' at a very young age, you realize you're never gonna be English in that sense. I'm in this country, but not of it. You have to come to grips with that. But the other side of that is, 'No—fuck that. This is my country.' There's no 'Go back to where you come from.' This is where I come from. I am England. This is what England looks like now."

Vylan isn't alone in his ideas. In fact, he isn't even the only Bob Vylan. While Bobby handles vocals, guitar and production on We Live Here, the other Vylan—Bobbie—plays drums. Meanwhile, Jason Aalon Butler of American rapcore trio Fever 333 makes a cameo on "Pulled Pork." "If their music is any indication of their political stance, it fits quite well with us," Bobby says of Fever 333. "Theirs is the American approach, which works for their country and obviously translates amazingly well over here."

As people around the world have taken to the streets to protest the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police, Vylan has joined the London protests. While citizens everywhere rally for an end to police brutality and systemic racism, Vylan has a similar vision for England.

"Great Britannia is no longer," he says. "It's not fly the flag and crusade. Let's get over that. It's the reggae parties and the warehouse raves with garage and grime music. It's the backstreet pub with indie music; It's the curry houses; it's a multicultural land. Whether they like it or not, I'm here to stay. And there's plenty of people like me. So I've got to figure out how I'm gonna make this place better."

Trappy based music. Without auto tune. Like a Jay Critch or Pardison Fontaine. Heard this guy after he paid money to air it on a stream. Usually laugh at the idea but he had some flames. So now I'm his biggest fan. Dunno who he is.

[DISCUSSION] YGTUT - Preacher's Son (5 Years Later)

Posted: 09 Jul 2020 01:15 PM PDT

P4k:

Sundays in the South are quiet—streets sit empty, as shops still close before sundown, and FM Stations that were playing the most explicit rap at night roll into early hours of gospel. On Preacher's Son, Chattanooga rapper Tut inhabits this scene: the tape opens with a brief news item about police seeking the help of a church to capture a man accused of murder. Tut positions church as a place where a community comes together even in the most trying times. On "Corner Stories", he raps: "Remember sitting in my uncle's kitchen, I was 8, though/ Whipping up a little something for the pesos" and then contrasts the scene to himself in the same house innocently playing with Legos. He spins a tale of a small-time drug dealer and a simple robbery that turns into something more complicated and touches on other community ills, and even when he restrains the narrative detail, he humanizes acts both right and wrong.

Preacher's Son is produced primarily by Ktoven and avoids common Southern rap styles (Snap or Swag) and trendy producers (Metro Boomin or Zaytoven). Ktoven creates lively and warm beats that recall when blues and funk were still embedded in Southern music's DNA, bringing to mind a time when hearing a horn section ("Hangin'") or a guitar ("Holy Water") was the norm, not an exception. The uniformity gives the tape a cumulative force, but some tracks towards the middle blend together as the style gets too comfortable within its own groove.

Tut struggles throughout trying to understand the issues that ail his community and figuring out what he should do, even as he's trying to avoiding repeating his own mistakes. The tape returns back to church with an excerpt of sermon on trying to decide whether one is just of this earthly world or joined the heavenly ranks of Christ and the Lord. Tut then closes with "Sunday Service", highlighting a great irony of church mornings in that so many in the pews just spent the night sinning ("Damn, we gotta hurry/ Late to the Sunday service/ Last night I hit the town/ Late, I was on the screw juice swervin'"). The track is also laced with light ad-libs from fellow Chattanooga rapper Isaiah Rashad, whose presence loomed heavily over the tape even if he was never officially mentioned. But where Rashad's Cilvia Demo from last year appeared lost with its place in the world, Preacher's Son knows where it stands within the church aisles. Tut just needs to pull his head up and decide which path to travel.

How Do Certifications work?

When a song has 150,000,000 streams in the US or 1,000,000 sales, an artist can purchase a certification (for around ~$300). You don't automatically get a plaque when you cross the threshold. The label or the artist needs to buy it. Often artists will buy certifications in bulk before they release new music.

Talib Kweli says new Black Star project (produced by Madlib) will not be released.

Posted: 08 Jul 2020 07:58 AM PDT

[OC] A Guide to Madlib's Collaborations

Posted: 08 Jul 2020 06:26 PM PDT

Madlib is one of most talented producers in hip hop history. His creative use of sampling and inventive beatmaking skills have led him to be one of the most famous producers to come out of the hip hop underground scene. He's released music under dozens of aliases that would even make DOOM envious. While he has an extensive solo catalogue of instrumental albums like The Beat Konducta series, his jazz albums released as Yesterday's quintet, his solo rapping albums released as Quasimoto or some of the many other Madlib solo projects, In this post I will be focusing on his lengthy amount of collaborations with other rappers and producers.

The first part will be his released collaborative projects and the second will be the projects he's rumored to be working on or he has already finished supposedly and are awaiting release. There are tons of projects in both categories. I won't cover every single project but I'll cover as much as I can.

Released Collaborations

Lootpack- Soundpieces: Da Antidote (1999) Lootpack consisted of Madlib, Wildchild, and DJ Romes and was formed in Madlib's hometown of Oxnard, California. This LP contained Madlib's signature sampled, imaginative and sometimes cartoony sound on the beats with vocals from Wildchild and Madlib himself. The lyrics mainly concerned wack rappers. The project was hailed for its experimentation and is an essential listen for Madlib & Stones Throw fans.

Declaime- Illmindmuzik (1999) Declaime was an MC also from Oxnard. This was his debut project and was entirely produced by Madlib. Even though it was released the same year as Soundpieces, it has a completely different sound. The beats are much more laidback and follow a groove which perfectly complement Declaime's calm vocals.

Wildchild- Secondary Protocol (2003) This essentially serves as a followup to the debut Lootpack project but is still a Wildchild project. It continues on the sound of Soundpieces production wise. Madlib actually only produced 9 of these tracks with Oh No producing the other 6 so I'll keep this one brief.

Jaylib- Champion Sound (2003) When two of the most respected underground producers link up for a project, you know it's going to be amazing. It's essentially Madlib rapping over J Dilla beats and Dilla rapping over Madlib beats. The production is absolutely amazing and sees both producers taking techniques from each other. It's dirty and more blunt than other madlib releases but it is incredible. The rapping isn't the greatest ever but both of them hold their own on the mic. An underground classic in my opinion.

Madvillain- Madvillainy (2004) This album is definitely the most well known Madlib project and for good reason. This album is a hip hop classic and one of the best releases of the genre. MF DOOM's lyrics are multi syllabic, extremely clever, villainous and constantly entertaining. Madlib perfectly complements DOOM's style with samples dug up deep from the crate. The beats are quirky, unique and absolutely perfect. There isn't much more I can say about it, you need to hear it to understand how great it is.

Madlib and Talib Kweli- Liberation (2007) This album was initially released for free on mySpace I believe. It's a great project and it sounds exactly as you would think a Talib and Madlib collaboration would sound. Madlib incorporates some good vocal samples over his signature style of producing and Talib comes at you with relentless bars that covered a range of political topics.

Percee P- Perseverance (2007) Percee P had been around in hip hop for a really long time. He's a hard hitting MC from New York that was very good technically on the mic. Madlib also comes through with some great beats. They are more straightforward than a lot of his other stuff but they still hit hard. There's also a remix of this project that sounds way different.

Jackson Conti- Sujinho (2008) This was a collaboration between Brazilian Jazz drummer Ivan Conti and Madlib. I actually haven't heard this album but from what I know it's an instrumental jazz album that's very light and playful. Madlib brings the beats and Ivan Conti has some great drumming, again from what I've heard.

Guilty Simpson - O.J. Simpson (2010) Guilty Simpson is a hard hitting MC from Detroit. This project saw him collaborate with Madlib for a project. Madlib's hard, somewhat funky beats compliment Guilty Simpson's deep voice and lyrics about street life while also occasionally loosely referencing O.J Simpson's legal woes. It's similar to Perseverance and still a great listen.

Strong Arm Steady- In Search of Stoney Jackson (2010) Strong Arm Steady are an underground rap group from California. Many consider this album produced by Madlib to be their best. Madlib's beats are very lush and elevate the group's sound well. It has an upbeat feel and the mc's do well on the mic.

Madlib and Freddie Gibbs- Piñata (2014) This album is another one of Madlib's most well known projects. Here he teams up with Freddie Gibbs. Gibbs provides vivid storytelling about street life, drug dealing and his personal life. Madlib as usual compliments his artist's style perfectly with his sample-heavy, almost cinematic, but still hard hitting beats. Many consider to this to be one of the best albums of the 2010s and it's easy to see why. This is another one you really need to hear.

Madlib, Blu, and Med- Bad Neighbor (2015) This album is filled with features and serves and is a smooth project. Med and Blu both rap about living life in California and are both talented MCs that know how to properly ride Madlib's off kilter beats. Madlib's beats range from being hard hitting to more on the funky side, sometimes both. He does this while maintaining the signature Madlib sound.

Madlib and Freddie Gibbs- Bandana (2019) A followup to Piñata, Madlib and Gibbs continue to do their thing on this project. Madlib's beats aren't as cinematic and seem to be more modern than his previous work. Some of the beats are even trap inspired. Freddie Gibbs is the one who shines the most with his consistently interesting and clever bars about his life. This one is great for slightly different reasons than Piñata. Nonetheless, it's another great collaboration.

On top of all his solo projects and these collaborative albums, Madlib produced a bunch of singular songs for a bunch of MCs that are also worth checking out. There's No More Parties In L.A. by Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar, One beer by MF DOOM, or the recent J Cole response Song 33 by Noname. There are many others that I won't list but I urge you to check them out.

Edit: I forgot to include

The Professionals - The Professionals (2020) This project is a collaboration between Madlib and his younger brother Oh No. Madlib handles the boards while Oh No covers the bars. Oh No shows his ability to rhyme about topical subjects on this project. As with any Madlib project he brings the samples dug up from the crate to create a while a little more reserved than usual, still very soulful and smooth background to the vocals. Shows that madlib has been consistent for over 20 years.

Collaborations Rumored to Release

This section will be brief because, well these projects haven't come out yet or may never come out. Just seeing these names together with Madlib should make any hip hop fan excited though.

Madlib and Freddie Gibbs- Montana Probably the most certain to release out of these as it will be the final installment to Gibbs and Madlib's trilogy.

Westside Gunn and Madlib Westside Gunn would follow the list of hard hitting MCs to work with Madlib. Says it might come up around December here but who knows.

Talib Kweli, Mos Def, and Madlib Having another Blackstar album produced by Madlib would be absolutely amazing. The project is finished but according to Kweli, it may be never be released

Mac Miller and Madlib This one probably won't ever release because of the extremely unfortunate passing of Mac Miller. It would've definitely been something special. If you look hard enough, a track from the project leaked in February.

Pusha T and Madlib Both Push and Madlib confirmed that this project exists. Will we ever see it? I really hope so.

There are other rumored projects in the works but they either have very little information or maybe we haven't heard about them at all yet.

All in all, Madlib should be considered one of the best to ever do it for hip hop producers. Like I said before, these projects don't even count the huge solo discography. If this gets some attention maybe I'll do one for his solo discog or potentially another producer.
