Georgia Anne Muldrow and dabrye? ahmean.. productionwise shit rarely gets gooder than this. both up there in the top ten producers of now far as I'm concerned. can't say I've been following MC Kadence through his career or had much idea till now what he'd been up to since two/three but two/three man. you either know that shit and are nodding vigorously/looking for it to play it right now happy I reminded you or you need to go know that shit right now. hey tho, this is not a post on dabrye. yall hold on tight for one and this time I mean it hehe.



still it's taken me a good few listens to decide what I thought about Rhetoric and add it to the list of best hip hop albums I've heard this year. the list is getting longer. life is good. we shall tear this motherfucker up. anyways like I said production wise it's a can't touch this.
MC Kadence's dense, intense flow yes please over dabrye's mindcrashing beat I know this. far as I'm concerned the two are made for each other. it took me longer to get my head round it when enveloped in funky soulful licks of Miss One's otherworldly productions with her angelic vocal accompaniaments, but somehow it works, for me anyway.

Kadence's is the type of verse you really have to really listen to (or read even) to decide whether you find it pseudo intellectual gibberish - some do - or relevant. I can see how it can feel overintellectualised and pretentious to some people, personally I can dig it. SomeOthaShip he's part of (which is creds enough) call him one thinking brother and a battle rhymer who takes the fight to the right place. he is and he does. this also one of  rare ocassions when I don't care about sense of humour too much, there's little space for it here, but then what he's overintelectually or otherwise rapping about is no laughing matter: we all know shit ain't right let's wake the fuck up get pissed off and go change it. amen to that

go listen to it, then again. then again. then buy it 

can a rapper be socio-philosophical and still affect yall is it possible? yezzir. MC Kadence can. he and Georgia Anne are affecting me

...as we speak

does anyone else think of Jack Bauer every time they say 'as we speak'?

BLACKHOUSE

one of my favourite producers, vocalists and people Georgia Anne Muldrow and DJ Romes of Lootpack are BLACKHOUSE

Mello Music Group is proud to present Georgia Anne Muldrow & DJ Romes' newest musical incarnation, The Blackhouse. Blackhouse's eponymous LP is a powerful manifestation of soulful dance music. As the title implies, the project draws much from the house realm filtered through a hip-hop lens. This is music to move you both figuratively and literally. Playing like a party from beginning to end, Georgia's immaculate combination of playing and programming is accentuated by Romes' pristine cuts.

This is not chamber music and it doesn't exist in a vacuum either. Anyone familiar with Georgia Anne Muldrow is aware of her Afro-centricity and free-thought ideals that permeate her work. Blackhouse does not lose these key aspects, it reconfigures them to buttress the pulsating beats, creating a dance record with an IQ. Tracks like "BLACKHOUSE" and "SOMALI" make use of concise vocals to deliver poignant messages while keeping bodies moving in the tradition of Theo Parrish or Moody Man. Clearly influenced by Afrika Bambataa and The Soulsonic Force, Kraftwerk, DJ Omega, Knights of the Turntable, Frankie Knuckles, and Kurtis Blow – the album takes us back to a time where hip-hop, house and funk were inextricably and immediately connected, Georgia Anne Muldrow and DJ Romes' Blackhouse is an unconventional and inventive musical experience.

SOMEOTHASHIP SHIT!

just how dope can these people git? declaime at his bestest and Georgia Anne at her usual godessest. loveandrespectforever

weekly suggestion 6: Georgia Anne Muldrow

this week's weekly suggestion is a heap of suggestions that I have regarding love and partnership.
I recently discovered that it had already been put into words beautifully by one amazing lady.
there's nothing I would add to this I don't think, every word coming out of her mouth is love.

left school to go to school. pure wisdom (part from the greek man hahaha. but you know what she means)

please listen to Georgia Anne Muldrow:

you gotta sit at the edge of the universe and accept that you will be loved

you gonna be ready to accept that it's a battlefield, you know? and that your partner in battle
will appear for you. once you take the first step: to show up

you and me we can make a difference if we try
