Solid Water & Whole Wheat Brothers Music present, Lancecape “The Beat E.P.”
Last Friday September 21/2013, Lancecape was part of the first ever Manifesto producer showcase entitled “The Beat”. The event also featured production heavyweights Sango, Oddisee, Elaquent, Rich Kidd and Sunclef. The event was a huge success and hosted nothing but bangers from everyone involved.
Manifesto is an annual festival that takes place in Toronto every year. They focus very hard on bringing together the best of the best from Toronto and surrounding areas. Since it’s a Canadian event, Lancecape took it upon himself to pay tribute, by flipping samples used in some Canada’s biggest tracks from past and present. Lancecape made every beat from scratch specifically for the event. So instead of the beats possibly never being heard again, he has decided to release all the intrumentals as a FREE E.P.
If you are familliar with Lancecape’s previous works than you will appreciate what you are about to receive. This is the forth project he has released this year since January 8-2013. He keeps on delivering nothing less than quality music. So stand up, bop your head and get your screwface ready. Once the drums kick in, Lancecape leaves you with no other option.
Track List:
1. Dear Hip Hop – (Scam Flip)
2. Eh Yo – (Saukrates Flip)
3. I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman – (Rick Kidd Flip)
4. RAW – (Checkmate & Consise Flip)
5. Super Educated – (Arcee & Fatski Flip)
6. Sweet Nothing – (Elaquent Flip)
7. Price Of Livin’ – (Da’ Grassroots Flip)
8. Fuel Injected – (Swollen Members Flip)
9. Sunlight RMX – (Lancecape Inst.)

MENNIS – Kingdom (Jay Z – Somewhere In America Live Band Cover) [VIDEO] @MENNISXCIX

kingdom

Manchester rapper MENNIS drops off the first instalment from the four-part project, XCIX.

He goes in over JAY Z’s Somewhereinamerica to lyricise on being a Manchester artist striving to succeed against a backdrop of disparity and division, between regions, within cities and across the socioeconomic groups in the UK.

The effortless rhymes, intricate wordplay and shrewd lyricism bode well with the horn-driven, piano-plinked Hit-Boy production; recorded live with the AllAboutGoodMusic houseband.

Harn SOLO feat. @caliobzvr – “Colors x Shapes” [AUDIO] @HarnSOLO

One of the hardest workers in the hip-hop game, New Orleans underground emcee Harn SOLO drops his sixth album, “Perfect Picture”. Forming strong partnerships with talented producers Pro Prospek and CZA of Crescent Kingz, the trio merge together to tint a detailed layered sonic portrait. Reflecting influences from the West Coast, the South and the ever-enduring 90’s decade of golden hip-hop, even with Harn vacillating between a fast trip and slower, deliberate melodic flow, several listens are required to catch the clever word play that naturally add shadows and texture to the collective painting.

Lyriqs da Lyriciss, a guest on the album, appears memorably on one of the album brush strokes, “Star Gazing”. Paying tribute to his current city on “Louis Armstrong”, it’s obvious this song mirrors the unique spirit of a legendary music town. Hitting his stride and reflecting confident growth on the other highlights,”The Future” and the title track, his “Wild Style” is infectious. Standing back from the “Perfect Picture”, the listener will view the canvas chock full of inventive swirls and impressive reverbs.

Crediting New Orleans for the artist’s creative renaissance Nola.com says, “The musician is passionate about the community and its people, a love distinctly illustrated in his lyrics and the local images that are depicted in his music videos. Cleary, he seems to have found his soul in the Crescent City”.
