A quick review of Tachichi & Gordski’s “Box Cutter Boogie” single featuring Quake Matthews and Kaleb Simmonds.
Celebrating 10 years since recording the previously unreleased Felt Lovejoy, Tachichi & Gordski drop their first single from the EP as an introduction to what is to come soon…
For the first single from their upcoming Felt Lovejoy EP, rapper Tachichi and producer Gordski bring a big, booming banger with assistance from battle rapper Quake and a smooth hook from singer Kaleb Simmonds, best known for his appearance on the second season of Canadian Idol, where he made it to the Top 7. A song about fame and the rap game, Tachichi’s dexterous delivery and Quake’s confident punchlines dominate the uptempo drums and constant heavy bass synths courtesy of Gordski. When it comes to wack MCs, this Halifax crew will “knock ‘em out the box!” Turn your headphones up!
Written and performed by Tachichi, Quake Matthews and Kaleb Simmonds
Produced by Gordski
The first single from Tachichi & Gordski’s unreleased 2014 EP, Felt Lovejoy, is dropping on Tuesday, but you can pre-save it now so you don’t miss out on hearing it when it drops…

A quick review of Epic’s “Ah Hemsky (emprime Remix)” by Lyrical Odyssey…

An ode to Ales Hemsky by Epic…
Epic’s classic ode to Edmonton Oilers player Ales Hemsky gets the maxi-single treatment to support the 15th anniversary celebratory 12” vinyl release of Aging Is What Friends Do Together. Included alongside the smooth original are remixes from Newselph, who provides a laidback summer vibe, and Saskatoon Folk Rap Records label mate emprime, who provides a crunchier but still chill vibe with additional vocals from Halifax, NS MC Christ Sampson, who adds a further melodic layer to Epic’s abstract, sing-song delivery and then becomes the star of the show with his own cover version of the song. The maxi-single also includes radio edits and instrumentals for each. Ah Hemsky, you’re so good!

“Conspiracy and District Prime deliver an outstanding performance with their dense wordplay and unique flavors, while DJ Matto’s production skills add an atmospheric depth that immerses the listener in a hauntingly beautiful experience.” – Lyrical Odyssey
The first review off the label from Lyrical Odyssey is an excellent review for “Prime Conspiracy”.
“[A]n experimental tune that is made up of moody textures, clicks and pops with sparse drum grooves [and] off-kilter and lyric-dense performances…” – The Word Is Bond
The Word Is Bond came through with an excellent short review of “Prime Conspiracy”, the final single from the aborted collab project between Conspiracy of Supreme Being Unit and District Prime (of Primal Winds), now going by No Town Vandal.
Originally recorded in 2016/2017 for a collaboration project with Conspiracy, District Prime and producer DJ Matto, “Prime Conspiracy” is the second and last song to be recorded for the project that was aborted shortly thereafter. Their first song was released on Bassments of Badmen 3 as “Under the Influence” but “Prime Conspiracy” was just sitting on my hard drive until now.
