Black Panther’s “Soul Eater” November 22nd

” Soul Eater “anyone that knows me and the albums I’ve created ” The Darkest Night Ever!!!” and ” My Eternal winter ” knows I do conceptual albums with central themes And “The Soul Eater” is no different. It has a central figure (John Smith) he leads a very boring life he tries to escape from. He works at an office job, and finds that his only escape is when he happens upon this talent/ curse. When falls asleep he creeps into the dreams of others and lives their lives to its fullest, but finds out that in order for him to occupy their life the can no longer exist, and all their fears, loves loss becomes a part of his own memories and eventually drives him insane. Every song is another life he has stolen and creates a border picture of the lives he’s stolen and the darker side of his own.

Artist You Need To Watch NOW!!!

Infinito 2017 – We Are Dark

When considering what type of composition to create Infinito 2017 (Marcellous Lovelace) takes all of his life experience to develop from the infinite boundless universe. On the long player “We Are Dark” produced entirely by Brooklyn’s own Black Sparx, Infinito 2017 writes stories of clarity in apocalyptic time. Drawing from the back drop of 60 / 70’s soul music this album is look inside the travels on the path to self-development. Infinito 2017 carefully crafted a masterful sounds-cape over a years time touching on all of the many thoughts a creative mind like his would have during the daily grind. Also understanding, entertaining and from the heart with information, knowing that Hip Hop is done for the love so we give to the culture not take ( “so my music is not about commercial profit”). “We Are Dark” was first developed in Philadelphia arranged in Los Angeles produced and mixed in Brooklyn written and mastered in Chicago and recorded in Memphis. The greatest lesson for listeners to learn is stay aware of the world around you and don’t limit yourself just because We Are Dark.

Produced entirely by Black Sparx. Guest Include Life Long (Stronghold), Knuckles Bandit, Thaione Davis and Breez Evahflowin (Stronghold). With scratches by the White Shadow of Norway.

Label: Unlimited Supply Chain

We Are Dark is also the group name of Infinito 2017 and Black Sparx

TRUTH UNIVERSAL

Truth Universal has been a fixture in the New Orleans underground scene. Inspired by the golden age emcees, the New Orleans based emcee has been following in their footsteps with each of his releases. With his latest project the Guerrilla Business EP set to drop next week, I got the chance to speak with TU on a variety a topics such as his upcoming EP, the Saints winning the Super Bowl and his rocky label situation with Paris’ Guerrilla Funk Records. Hit the jump to get to know the man known as Truth Universal.

Introduce Yourself

Truth Universal, New Orleans based, Trinidad born, Civilian Guerrilla crowd rocker.

Why the name Truth Universal?

Truth Universal is my Divine attribute. It speaks me seeking, and striving to speak and live Universal Truth.

Who are some of your musical inspirations?

Poor Righteous Teachers, Andre Tanker, Brother Resistance (Network Riddum Band), Mantronix, Just-Ice, DMX, Dana Dane, Clark Kent, Slick Rick, Vance Wright, Doug Fresh, KRS One, Public Enemy, Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, Peter Tosh, Bob Marley and Run DMC.

Past projects readers should know about:

Vinyl 12″: “Dashiki Dialogue,” “Four Track Mind,” “New Orleans’ Finest,” “Mind Frame.” EP: “Plantation Graffiti,” “N.O. Finest” Maxi, Decolonization Mixtape, Grassroots! Campaign Mixtape and the album Self Determination.

Current projects readers should be looking out for:

Guerrilla Business EP–release date: 03.16.10. There are a couple of videos in the final stages of production also – “Serve & Protect” by Nickel Dime Studios, and “The GRASSROOTS! Campaign” by Onpoint Media.

Who is involved in the Guerrilla Business EP?

Guests on this project are pretty much fam that are close by: Evelyn Champagne, Skipp Coon and Lyrikill. DJs include DJ Chief One, DJ Maxmillion, and DJ Himuki. On production we have Dan Freeman, N.O. Bricks, Prospek, DJ Himuki, DJ Maxmillion, Mr. Nick, Gensu Dean, and Snuff Sugar.

Sounds like a good lineup. How long is the EP? Is this self released or through a label?

Word, those are some VERY talented folks. It’s short…10 track IDs…8 original tracks, 1 remix, 1 interlude. It’s a self release; most of my work is. “Self-Determination” was a partnership between Truth Universal Music & Dragon’s Breath Records. The worldwide digital release will be handled by http://root70lounge.com .

What’s up with the Guerilla Funk label?

Signed there since 2006, and basically is STILL bullshitting with my album, Decolonization.

Are you trying to get out of the contract?

Yeah…I have no desire to release anything there, I see no point in that. Dude talks this great game, but ends up wasting most of the cats’ time.

Are they sort of holding you hostage though? Do you have the rights to the album to release it somewhere else or on your own?

There is no “they,” it’s only Paris. While I am grateful for the exposure on the Hard Truth Soldiers compilations, I don’t have time waste waiting around for who knows what.

For anybody familiar w/ Self Determination, they know you worked w/ legends like Wise Intelligent (Poor Righteous Teachers) & Cee Know the Doodlebug (Digable Planets). What was that working with them? How did you link up with them?

It was an honor. I met Doodlebug at a Digable Planets reunion tour show in N.O. I gave him that “Decolonization Mixtape” to check out. We built over the phone about working on something. We solidified things when I opened for them in Austin some months later.

The song was actually inspired by writings by Wise Intelligent and Bakari Kitwana. I started building with Wise’s manager (Born Free) the same time the song was in production. It was on something totally different, but I let him hear the joint, he got it to Wise, and we went from there.

Now you’re one of the most prominent artists in the New Orleans underground scene. What are your thoughts on the scene now?

It’s wonderful at this point in time. There’s a renaissance of sorts happening. There’s a good deal of positive creative energy, initiative and determination. The artists are no longer waiting on the local industry only to provide performance opportunities. We do our own events: “GRASSROOTS!” Soundclash, Uniquity, New Orleans Hip Hop, Streetwear joints, and more.

As I’ve made sure our readers know, the Saints recently won the Super Bowl lol. But the effects on the city, state & community have been huge. The hip hop scene is no different. What’s it been like seeing guys like K Gates & Dee-1 get exposure nationwide because of their Saints anthems?

Those brothers are exceptional talents, but yeah the anthem content was in line with the hype and journey. I hope going forward some of the light stays shining on the city. It’s still, and always will be, a bittersweet event/time for me. It seems that folks have forgotten about the millions put into Superdome repair while a large number Katrina affected folks were still displaced and/or practically homeless. I know of folks who still can’t afford to come home. Of course I went to Saints games growing up, etc., so there is a “Wow!” factor involved. However, it’s temporary distraction from the incessant violence, homelessness and messed up public school system though.

If you had to pick one song that defines your career up to this point, what would it be?

“The Grassroots Campaign” produced by N.O. Bricks. It’s just speaking on the underground MC struggle. “Eloquent as, Gibran’s pen when the mic get blessed/ Seventeen year overnight success!” I list influences in terms of upbringing, emcees, and study. I have to say that one. It’s a classic crowd rocker, call and response track.

If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have one album to listen to, what would it be?

Damn. Right now I’ll say Digable Planets’ Blowout Comb. That’ll stay in my top 5 forever! The Hip Hop aesthetics it embodies, the progressive content…It’s very near perfect to me and I I never tire of listening to it.

Any shout outs or last words?

First and foremost, I implore folks to monetarily support the good music you enjoy. Guerrilla Business arrives in the universe on 03.16.2010.

Respect Tha God – OooKay! by Manekinekopro

Poet Substratum’s – No Time To Chill (manekinekopro)

No Time To Chill is the third solo release from New Jersey (USA) emcee Poet Substratum. Poet Substratum is one half of the group Written On Your Psyche and is no stranger to creating music that is versatile, personal, and creative. No Time To Chill is a collaborative effort between Poet and French producers The Waxaholiks (LRHone, Matnez, and Lawzi) of Grey Square Record. What sets this album apart from Poet’s earlier solo and Written On Your Psyche albums is the lyrical painting of a picture that captures his life at this very moment in time. This album features a more mature Poet that is dealing with life as a father, a husband, a student and an emcee portrayed with such precise design. Every track has its purpose and is perfectly matched with the jazzy, soulful, and head nodding beats provided by The Waxaholiks. It’s the exact soundtrack needed to capture Poet’s life story, which is simply being himself and this is what he does. No Time To Chill has something for everyone, and adds a little extra to the recipe by featuring members of his Delinquent Soundz family. Venomous 2000, Nalm Myerz, Phonetic, Respect Tha God (Perverted Monks), Skitzo, DJ A $harp and DJ MentPlus are the appropriate addition to this album. Not saturated with the run of the mill underground complaining of the state of hip hop and the industry, and not exaggerating a lifestyle that many mainstream artists do, No Time To Chill is a true to life album by an original emcee not caught up in anything else except being the best artist he can be.

No Time To Chill is due to be released October 15th 2011 in all digital outlets worldwide on Grey Square Record and Manekineko Pro

No Time To Chill and My Brain’s A Machine ft. Phonetic, Skitzo. and DJ MentPlus are both produced by Matnez of The Waxaholiks
