[Mixtape] A CAT CALLED FRITZ - "Nowadays"

Spectacular jazz and boom bap fanatic A Cat Called Fritz finally unveils his mixtape "Nowadays", something at least I've been eagerly anticipating. Fritz first came on my radar with his absolutely excellent production work with Soundsci / MassInfluence emcee Audessey on their collaborative LP "Rounds Per Minute" (one of last years ten best projects). His build up for this new mixtape has included some pretty mindblowing remixes, including Fritz' take on Bahamadia's "I Confess" which literally had me screaming for a Bahamadia/A Cat original full-length, or at least a remix project. Mainly made up of remixes (for the likes of Nas, Little Brother, Beatnuts, De La Soul, Mos Def, Show & A, etc.) but there's also some brand new Audessey joints and some dope instrumentals to enjoy! (If you can't see the embeded player up top, click here where you'll also find the tracklist).

[EP/Video] AUDESSEY as JACK JONES - "Motivate & Move"

Audessey really keeps impressing me with his releases, both as part of Soundsci and his solo releases (including the excellent side project with producer A Cat Called Fritz). His latest project is a spanking hot 7" single on WorldExpo Records under the name of Jack Jones, which should lead the way to a brand new album from the Atlanta-based emcee. Be sure to support the single via A's Bandcamp (also available with a T-shirt) and peep the single for "Motivate & Move" up top.

[Sampler] MAC McRAW Ft. OXYGEN & AUDESSEY - "B-Boy Bionics" / "Dust" EP

Golden age loving producer Mac McRaw's new 12" EP "B-Boy Bionics" / "Dust" is finally available and is a real treat for long time Soundsci fans like we hear @ The Lost Tapes. Mac McRaw comes through with some gritty MPC-60 and SP1200 vintage sounding boom bap, which perfectly sets off Oxygen and Audessey to bring their A-game on "B-Boy Bionics" and "Dust" respectively. Both from a lyrical and production standpoint this is nothing but pure hip-hop brilliance and should be something any true conniseour would want in his or her collection. Besides the main tracks which you can peep above you can also the EP brings an even stronger Soundsci connection as it includes a The Process remix of "Dust", wherein Ollie Teeba and Jonny Cuba gets busy on the programming and turntable side. As if that wasn't enough the EP also boosts instrumentals of both songs, as well as two additional remixes of "Dust", including the original Mac McRaw version entitled the OG SP1200 Demo Version. Limited to only 250 commercial copies, be sure to grab your copy for only £9.99 @ ColdRockStuff.com.

[Album] DANNY SPICE - "Live @ The Throwback"

Danny Spice & The Wildstyle Crew is coming with a vintage NYC hip-hop sounding EP on limited 12" and digital on Crate Escape Records, and this will definitely be a crazy fucking project. We previously heard the thumping single with my man Oxygen, "Code Red", and now the entire "Live @ The Throwback" EP has been unleashed on Crate Escape Records. There's sure no shortage of dope cuts on here, fellow Soundsci member Audessey pops up for the soulful boom bap tinged "Night Stalkers", the mighty Sadat X joins Finsta, Cappo, and Emskee on the heavy posse cut "Art Of War", just to name a few. This is one of the best projects recently, right up my alley - it got that retro feel, like it could have been made in the '80s, '90s or 2000's but what people don't get is that that sound is TIMELESS so it's not dated music just cuz you're taking it back. Big up to Danny Spice and all the artists on the projects. Purchase your copy on limited 12" EP or cop the digital @ Crate Escape Records while you still can. You can stream the entire project below.

AUDESSEY & A CAT CALLED FRITZ - "Beats Per Minute"

Audessey of Soundsci and (formerly) Mass Influence is a rapper I have loads of respect for, as he's constantly dropping quality material no matter who he is working on or with who. His most recent endevour is a project with French beat maestro A Cat Called Fritz whose love for funky jazz samples, hypnotic horns, deep bass grooves and boom bap drums makes for a perfect blend with Audessey's smooth voice, versatile flows and honest lyrics. "Beats Per Minute" is being released via Slice-Of-Spice, who continues their movement of releasing real hip-hop for the love of the culture, and is now finally available on 12" vinyl. Audessey was kind enough to shoot me over a copy of the digital version quite some time ago, and I immediatly fell in love with the sounds of Fritz and A's creativeness and the extraordinary sounds it resulted in. Needless to say I have been waiting for a physical copy to add to my collection since then, which is now finally available @ Slice-Of-Spice in various editions, including an instrumental LP, a limited picture disc, the regular 12" EP, and the collectors bundle which includes the album, the instrumental set, the picture disc and the "The Hop"/"By Design" 7". Without a doubt this is one of the absolute finest releases of the year, so HURRY UP AND BUY!

As if the news alone wasn't enough S-O-S has also put up the full album stream for both the regular and instrumental editions on their Soundcloud page, so peep them below. Only downside is that the vinyl omits the songs "By Design" and "Traveling Thoughts" which were the two album closers on the digital version A hooked me up with. Nontheless the eight tracks we are left with is enough to bop your head for 30 minutes straight, so I can't really front! Also check out the free prequel tape, "The Metronome Mixtape".

AUDESSEY + A CAT CALLED FRITZ - "The Metronome Mixtape"

One of my most played records at the moment is the collaboration between Soundsci emcee Audessey and parisian beatmaker a Cat Called FRITZ entitled "Beats Per Minute". Audessey is one of those emcees with a message to rely and even when it's just battle rhymes he's got a way with words that commands you to listen to every syllable. a Cat Called FRITZ is pure hip-hop, but is coming from the jazz perspective of things, and to me there's nothing like a beat built around a nice jazz groove; funky rhodes piano, a groovy stand up bass, blasting horns and so forth. Already from the first single ("Frequencies") dropped back in September you could tell this was going to be something special and indeed it was. Expect to hear more from this dynamic recording duo in a near future at The Lost Tapes as an interview is currently being set up.

The always impressive people of Slice-Of-Spice released "B.P.M." in several formats, and now the imprint together with the artist have uploaded a free HQ mixtape for further listening pleasure. Entitled "The Metronome Mixtape", this 68 minutes mix features Fritz getting his wheels of steel on creating a fascinating mix of tracks from the LP, fresh remixes of Mass Influence and Soundsci joints and a couple of bangers from FRITZ Parisian crew + his own personal instrumentals. As Audessey himself puts it "an interesting collage of old, new, remixes, and the rest...". Be sure to join the duo's "Beats Per Minute" page @ Facebook and if you still haven't got the wax - head over to Slice-Of-Spice to do some shopping.

[EP] AUDESSEY & A CAT CALLED FRITZ - "Beats Per Minute"

Audessey and producer A Cat Called Fritz kicked off 2014 with the release of the second video from their excellent EP "Beats Per Minute". Just like the previous single "Frequencies" it's another laid back, real kicking jazz infused cut with an A performance by Audessey. "B.P.M." is out soon on Slice-Of-Spice and will be available here, a long with the limited 45:s collector's editions which can be purchased now. But even better, the digital version of the entire 11 track album which is truly exceptional is already available for digital purchase through Bandcamp, and can be streamed in its entirety below, so check it out ASAP as this one comes highly recommended (just remember to rewind two tracks on the embeded player below, as it start on track #3 for some reason)!

AUDESSEY & A CAT CALLED FRITZ - "Frequencies"

The always on point Audessey (Soundsci, Mass Influence) has teamed up with producer ACatCalledFritz for the EP "Beats Per Minute" to be released through Slice-Of-Spice very soon. If the smooth knock of the jazzy lead single "Frequencies" is pointing the way, you'd better watch out for this one. I know I will!

[Review] SOUNDSCI - "THE ULTIMATE EP"

The third and latest release from Soundsci consists of eight tracks put on wax to remind you why you fell in love with hip-hop. Made up of emcee's Audessey, UGeorge and Ox The Architect, with producers The Process a.k.a. Jonny Cuba and Ollie Teeba, the five man crew's music grows from their distinct musical personalities and respective roots in the hip-hop scenes of ATL, New York and UK. That, in combination with their love of that good ol' boom bap, really brings something unique to the table. It's no accident that Soundsci's "Formula 99" was one of the most praised hip-hop albums of last year in real underground circles. And simply put, if you liked "Formula 99" you'll also love "The Ultimate". It's far from a tired repetition by any means though, on the contrary; the crew sound more in tune with each other than ever before, and especially on the five new songs you can hear that they were going for a new sound for these sessions. And that's something I always liked; to make each release something unique without alienating the fanbase and sticking with their guns, which is what they so far has managed to do; "Formula 99", "The Ultimate" and the original debut EP "Dig For Victory" are unqestionably music from the same group, but each release also has its complete own individuality. For this one, I believe that the members were all working together in the studio; at least more than on previous releases, and even if they were not that's definitely the impression you get when listening. 

The Review
The A-side kicks off with the EP:s title track, "The Ultimate", and despite all the other new songs appearing on side B I think it was a wise move to have this separated. The later tracks are somewhat more somber while still packing a street element, while "The Ultimate" is straight up-tempo stuff that's as funky as it gets. To me it sounds like an homage to the '80s hip-hop and The Process does a great job with adding a B-boy element to it. The real treat of the song is, however, how well the trio goes back and forth between each other; spitting about 8 bars per verse before passing the microphone around, a procedure which is only breaken up for the chorus which once again reminds me of the '80s in it's simple coolness; "Soundsci, and you don't stop/ we got the illafied flow that makes you're body rock/ It's hip-hop, and you don't quit, we got the super-type of flow, it's THE ULTIMATE". Only a couple of songs later we are treated to a remix of the same song, called the DrillaKrilla remix. I'm not sure whether or not this is an actual producer or a remix laced by The Process but, while it's not as great as the original, it's still a damn dope cut. Musically it's pretty much on the same page, it's once again residing in the funky side of life though in a slightly slower manner this time, but a breakbeat type rhythm is still in tact, you got various horns fading in and out, and the way that the group's vocals have carried over so well to this mix makes it a winner. The only thing I am not sure about is the remix's placement on the record - at first I thought it would have been better having it near the end of Side B, considering that we heard the same vocals only two tracks earlier. At the same time, Side A and Side B does indeed sound a little like different entities, meaning that switching cuts between them might have broken up the flow of both sides.


DJ Spinna, who I consider one of the top 10 producers of all time, is behind the magnificent remix of "The Illest"; a song that I always considered amongst my favorites off the group's 2012 debut. Luckily, Spinna does not try to recreate the original beat or mood, instead opting for a completely new soundbed to accompany the accapellas over. Spinnna's take is a much slower song than the original; you can imagine hearing this in an underground club, with its many recurring sound effects juxtaposed against pounding drum programming are complemented with an extremely deep, dark and rumbling bassline throughout; something I usually recognize Spinna on, and which I see as something that stems from his love of house music. The Fat Joe turntable hook, the hypnotic production work and, just like on the original album, of course Audessey and Ox's vocals all make this something truly out of the ordinary. It's great to see such a different version of one of my favorite tracks, especially as to me DJ Spinna came through and brought in something equally good. Spinna's Classic Beyond Real Remix can also be viewed as a another preview of what SPOX-PhD will bring to the table sometime in, hopefully, a not to distant future (the MC/DJ constellation between OX and Spinna). This is followed by another "Formula 99" remix; "Rhyme 4 Rhyme" flips the beat to an up-tempo funk driven monster where DJ Format arrange a large group of instruments, including horns and guitar, and breakdowns that once again comes off as something of a tribute to the late '80s sound of hip-hop; when funky instrumentals that could get a party going, turntables and battle lyricism was the focus. As mentioned earlier, the two sides of the record really sound like two sides of the same coin, and the A-side is undoubtedly the more uptempo, groove-driven, funk record sampling, party starting side.

So far so good - I'm really impressed by this EP by this point, let's just hope that the B-side holds up, right? Well, let me tell you; it's the four tracks on the B-side that REALLY knocked me straight out. For one thing, all of the songs here are new Soundsci tracks, rather than remixes, and if you don't nod your head once you drop the needle on "The Vow" you might as well go look for another genre, because hip-hop isn't for you. The Process smacking rhythm section is just hard knock, while the musical parts are more melodic (a beautiful female voice wailing is heard throughout and forms a large chunk of the song), creating a nice counterpoint to the production. The rhyme trio absolutely kills it too, paying homage to where they came from and recognizing their underground roots and loyal fan base. The vow is to never forget that they will always represent the movement no matter what. Audessey kick things off lovely with a memorable verse, ("I never abuse it, mislead but use it, as a tool to school the fools and apply the golden rule/ Never seek your hand out, I'ma give it my all/ I take my bumps and bruises, staying tall up when I fall/ I keep it eye to eye, and honest in all moments/ I make my raps dope and produce my beats fatter...") which is followed by an equally hot verse from UGeorge. In fact all verses on this EP are really something, the chemistry between this trio is just something else which is why I consider them the best independent act right now. "The Vow" is one of the best Soundsci songs I have ever heard, from the layered production, the amount of quotables, and I also got to give credit for the hook, because a lot of underground emcees that rhyme tight as hell have no clue how to put together a song - Soundsci has proven time and time again that they are not only great rappers and producers but that they make complete songs, period. The same could be said for "Bon Appetit" which follows a somewhat similiar pattern; the production is steadily progressive, far from a simple loop you got the occassional guitar riff popping up, you got the female chant at the end of every bar, intense drum rolls and a breakdown of the beat to separate the hook and verses. Here the entire trio is heard too, something we never got to hear on "Formula 99" but the few times it happens on this EP, it really gives an impression of how well these guys play off each other's styles. 

"Lyrical Beatdown" was released as a single about a month or so ago and had many, myself included, very hyped for the new release. This is one of them heavy joints with relatively slow but extremely hard drums courtesy of The Process, but it also has a softer quality which comes in the form of a smooth guitar riff which adds a blues feeling to the track. Once again the use of layered production without sounding cluttered seems to be one of Cuba's and Teeba's most accomplished feats, and I hope these releases will give them a lot of outside offers for production. The final cut is called "Plight Of The Underdog" and is another A+ cut with a message to keep strivin' and not lose motivation no matter what people or even yourself might say sometime, something I, and many with me, definitely can relate to. I love how Oxygen's verse starts off over only the somber piano riff and a bassline, constantly building up tension so that when the beat finally drops it's like a rush coming over you; "Momma ain't raised no quitter, but I swear if I don't catch a wind soon I might reconsider/ You've seen my last update on Twitter, the red Oxygen is done with this rap shit, got a lot of y'all bitter/ I love my 21 followers and back in the days rocking mics was more powerful than the dollar was...". Just like in movies, tension and release is a great way to build up anticipation to create a pleasant (or scary) effect once the release comes; this is something I always felt should be used more in hip-hop music and as heard here, it has great effect on the listener. With piano, a looped background vocal, turntables, electric bass, boom bap drums, and even the occassional trumpet, the producers creates an hypnotic feeling that rides perfectly under the two vocalists. As I just mentioned, there's a lot going on here production wise, but never so much that it distracts from listening to the vocals, which is telling both of how well balanced and melticiously planned/produced the music is as well as the fact that Oxygen, UGeorge and Audessey's vocal performances are hypnotic on their own. It's a great closer to a great EP, one that will likely encourage yourself to flip the script and give it another front-to-back listen. 
 
The Conclusion
Being well familiar with the music of Soundsci, I had no hesitation in pre-ordering the EP without having heard any snippets or likewise as I without a doubt expected another dope release. Even then I was suprised by how absolutely terrific this release actually is. Especially when I for the first time threw on the B-side, I could pretty much only shake my head in disbelief; I'd go as far as saying that the best songs on this EP are also the finest tracks Soundsci has yet released. The DJ Spinna remix of "Ill Dialect" is another personal favorite, and one that got me even more hyped for that forthcoming SPOX-PhD album. "The Ultimate" is short, with only 5 new songs and a couple of remixes, but when adding more tracks to a product of this quality, you always risk breaking up the flow of the record - especially as the 8 tracks here really have a certain flow together and gives the overall impression of completion. In conclusion, Soundsci has once again proven why they are one of the absolute most interesting crew in hip-hop today, and with that being said this might be the group's most well-rounded effort today. If you love hard, sample based beats and the finest in lyricism I strongly recommend purchasing this on wax, and if you don't fuck with vinyl, pay the few dollars it costs to purchase the digital copy and support the cause.

[Exclusive Interview] AUDESSEY

A founding member of Soundsci, one of the illest crews repping right now, Audessey has a rich and deep hip-hop history. From releasing the great "Underground Science" back in 1999 as part of MassInfluence, to dropping one of this year's dopest LP's in "Formula 99", he's proven to be a mainstay on the underground scene. The following interview touches on his work with both groups, his background, future projects and a lot of stuff in between, so don't sleep... And make sure to bookmark the new Soundsci.com to stay in touch with what's going on with the crew.

claaa7: You made your name known with the trio MassInfluence, and now you rock as an integral part of Soundsci. How different is the experience working through these respective channels?

Audessey/Ton3: One of the biggest differences is that while I was in Mass we all lived together in a loft and with Soundsci being that some of us are in the UK, NYC and two of us here in the United States we really had to make technology “work for us”. With that said, Skype, email, and having compatible systems and ways to work on material is extra important to the process of how we make songs. Distance we thought was going to be a challenge ended up not being an issue at all. We just found out another way, another “system” to get stuff done that works for us and hopefully you all hear the good results from the hard work in the music.

c7: Around 2003 you released the 12” single “The Gusto” as Audessey the Sound Sci, which points to you being the man behind the name for your current group. What exactly does Soundsci mean?

Ton3: Soundsci is short for “Soundscience” and everything that goes with the Science of making the sound that we make.

c7: When I spoke to Oxygen, he mentioned that he recorded his stuff for “Formula 99” separately from the rest of you. What was the recording of the album like from your perspective?

Ton3: Wow…recording the F99 project was really fun and organic actually. We really wanted to try up our game musically from the DFV (Dig For Victory) project and push the envelope phonically and musically. I think that is seen in the tracks itself: “Formula 99” , “Da Livin”, “Give Thanks” were far much more than just sample running in a loop. On the song “Formula 99” we used no samples and really experimented with effects on the vocals and using a lot of the human instrument factor as we could. For example the back ground effect noises were just me making random noises and then found a analog delay that we put on them and they fit perfect in the scheme of the track and what we wanted to do with it.

c7: What’s your favorite joint off “Formula 99”, and why?

Ton3:  I think they all are for different reason as each song (to me) has their own  special thing about them (time that they were being recorded, topic of the song, etc) that makes them dope on their own merit.  They all are my favorite….ROFL!!!

c7: “Formula 99” has been getting a great response from true hip-hop heads all over, and many of us are already fiending for new music from you guys. Have you started working on anything yet, and if so what are you planning for the next project?

Ton3: Well, we have an EP soon to come out (before year end) called “The Ultimate” that will feature some remixes off the F99 project by Dj Formatt , DJ Spinna , and about 5 new Soundsci songs.

c7. How would you describe the group dynamics of Soundsci?

Ton3: Good question…Let see if I had to breakdown the dynamics of the group it be like this ..

JonnyCuba: Producer/DJ
Ollie Teeba: Producer/DJ

Together they are called “The Process” and they work on the musical (beats) of Soundsci.

Oxygen: MC/DJ/Crate Invader
UGeorge: MC/Vocalist (the dude can really, really sing some soulful stuff)
Ton3: MC/BeatG33K

c7: On Soundsci’s debut EP, “Dig for Victory”, it seems that the group just consisted of you and The Process, seeing as how even UGeorge is listed as a guest performer. Could you tell me about the original incarnation of Soundsci, and what happened between the two releases that made y’all into the 5 man unit that you are today?

Ton3: The dynamic of Soundsci was very simple at first where it was just him and myself but we always wanted to find way to expand the sound and the dynamics of the sound whether that be through another MC, live instruments, recording techniques,etc. So when I asked Geo to be in the song “The ?” and he came and did it with us we both felt that it would be a very cool and interesting dynamic to have him in the group on a full time basis. His rhyming skills along with his vocal abilities would be an interesting element and dynamic  to add to the mix that folks would enjoy. With that said, we asked Geo if he would like to actually be down with Soundsci and he totally was down to be a part of the circle. So at that point Soundsci was 4 because Ollie was already working with Jonny on some of the Soundsci beats at the time. 

 Jonny and Ollie have been working together for ages and have also known each other for a very long time so it was a natural fit with them working on beats together. In the process of us doing the F99 I met Ox on the DWG forums (Diggers with Gratitude if you don’t know best check it out) and in speaking to Jonny he had an existing friendship with them in Ox’s time in Sputnik Brown.  Jonny came to me about doing the cut with him and Ox and shucks to do a joint with Ox would be dope so cats started to build on it and Ox and I started going back forth and we finally worked out the rhymes for “F99”. After that it just seemed like a natural fit for him in the group as our chemistry was really dope on “In a Flash” and Geo and Ox had a convo and as they say the rest is history so here with are with a 5 man team.

c7: With MassInfluence you released the underground classic “The Underground Science” in 1999. But already in ’98 there was a limited LP set titled “Live from Mitchell Street”. I was curious about what exactly that was?

Tone: It’s funny you say that I saw that as well and looked for it but could never find it. I know our first major release was Underground Science, which was all of the singles (at the time) that we released plus some new joints and remixes of “L.i.f.e to the MC”. If someone out there who reads this actually has a copy of this “Live from Mitchell St.” record I really like to SEE it.

c7: My first exposure to your music actually was through the MassInfluence cut on Mr. Len’s solo debut LP. Mr. Len was also featured on your single “Analyze”. What was/is your relationship like with him?

Tone:  We first had a connection with Mr. Len when at the time with Mass went to Denmark and did a show with Company Flow, Mr. Live and other artist and the relationship flourished from there. After that  later on we recorded “Get Loose” for Mr. Len’s project “Pity the Fool”.

Nito had a friendship with him and asked him if he be down to do some cuts on the song. We later went into BullFrog  studio’s at the time  and laid down the verses one Sunday afternoon  for “Analyze” and then he already did his cuts at the loft so we just sampled his cuts and lined them up with the track and flew them in and BLAM! The cuts were in there and the song was done.

c7: Also, before MassInfluence, who really started to make noise in the late ‘90s, you have a rather deep hip-hop history that maybe not everyone is aware of. Could you break that down for us please?

Tone:  Well…. my history goes back to when I was in middle school and I started out beatboxing and break dancing with this crew in Virginia called “The Jam Masters” ( in the early 80’s)  at the time my tag was “Jet Set” and then “ Crazy Fresh”.  I was doing talent shows beatboxing and dancing and then toward the end of middle school I started writing rhymes and listening to the many different emcees at the time BDP, Kane, Biz, TLaRock, JustIce, FatBoys, RunDMC, Skinny boys and I was able to start to learn flow and cadence. My grandmother who lived in New Jersey at the time (Irvington) was huge because being able to go up north to the city and listen to the like  of 98.7 Kiss and WBLS was hiphop heaven for me. I would make tapes of the show and then come back home and listen to them for hours practicing. We had one hip hop show when I was little which was on Sunday nights with DJ Frankski and Chocolate Jam and they would play all the latest and greatest hip hop.  I kept on rhyming in high school doing talent shows and when I went to college in West VA I continued to write rhyme and got a chance to work on the college radio station while I was up there introducing kids to hip hop music that was really up to speed on it. I then came home and started being a hype man in this group called “State of Mind” which then we went our ways and started rhyming with this cat in the 90’s name B-double and we had a group called True Soul which later turned into the “Urbanytes”  (doing locals shows and releases) and I hooked up with a childhood friend of mine (DJ Red Assassin) who let me borrow his EPS 16 Plus and I learned how to make beats I would say this is around the early 90’s (say 90-93). It wasn’t until 94 when I met H on a trip to Atlanta with Nito and the birth of MassInfluence started.

c7: You’re from Atlanta, but the music you make often has that vintage boom bap sound that many would associate most with NYC. How much has the city of ATL itself and the music from there really inspired or influenced you?

Tone: When I first moved down to Atlanta in the mid 90’s I lived right smack in the middle of downtown right before the Olympics so it was a crazy time for the city ,but being in the middle of that and just taking in life at the time and even now that I’m older has really shaped my perspective and understanding say as a man, a person for which will affect my craft which is making dope hip hop music. I’ve had the chance in my time in Georgia to live all around the area  so it gave me a nice perspective to really soak it all in.

I think that living, breathing, growing, learning in the here really influenced me a lot. Being that there are so many different scenes here (jazz, R&B,blues, southern hip hop, underground hip hop) you will always come across something that catches your ear. First and foremost I love music and even though I might be put in a box to make a certain kind of music I think its only natural that being in the place for so long (since 96) would have an impact, but with the soul and jazz roots here in Atlanta and surrounding areas being in Georgia has opened up my mind and ears to all different styles of music. 

c7: So, besides the things that we have touched upon, is there anything else you’re working on or planning that we need to be on the lookout for in the near future?

Tone: Um lets see…I am also working on a project (untitled at the moment with a talented producer from France (A Cat Called Fritz) DJ Lyrik. Also,  were working on some other new Soundsci stuff that potentially might be released next year sometime but we’ll just have to see how it goes. Also, UGeorge will be having an EP/LP coming out next year as well as Ollie Tebba’s EP, and finally Oxygen and I have a project with IllTreats called “Classic Material”. On top of that were forming a label called WorldExpo Records so there is a lot going on right now…a lot to get done ,but its all such positive stuff. We are really blessed.

c7: I'll definitely keep my eyes and ears open for those projects. In conclusion many thanks for taking the time to do this interview with The Lost Tapes, it’s super appreciated. I hope to hear a lot more banging music from you as soon as possible!

Tone: Man first of it should be me THANKING YOU for the dope interview and taking the time to talk to a bro. It’s people like you and what you are doing that make making music worthwhile. THANK YOU for supporting Soundsci and hip hop!

MassInfluence - "Morning Breath Chasers"

Atlanta crew MassInfluence is back together for this exceptionally banging track called "Morning Breath Chasers" which is now shipping from Redefinition Records. The track is produced by Devil McDoom and the 45" also includes the instrumental on the flip. Strongly recommended stuff!
