Listening Party for Sensational x The Dirty Sample’s The Spot Rocker

Since we don’t have a new album dropping in June, we’ll be doing two retrospective listening parties to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Hand’Solo Records. The first is on Sunday, June 21 at 8 PM EDT, and it’s for The Spot Rocker from Sensational x The Dirty Sample. It was awesome to get the chance to release an album by Sensational, and I was able to team him with one of my favourite producers working with the label, The Dirty Sample. This combo turned out something different within the Sensational catalogue, and it’s an album I’m very proud to have released to the people. I hope you will join us for this listening party. And smoke ’em if you got ’em because this is a great album for stoners!

RSVP here.

30th Anniversary $30 Bundle for June

The 30th Anniversary bundle for $30 for the month of June has been up for a hot minute on Bandcamp but I’m just getting around to posting about it now. It’s a great deal with 6 Backburner CDs for only $30. That’s a lot of music for so little money! The choice of this bundle is to coincide with the retrospective listening party for Backburner’s Heatwave, which I will be announcing shortly.

Word Is Bond reviews “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”

“The track is a conceptual piece that blends off-kilter raps with anti-capitalist themes and 80s movie and pop culture references in one fell swoop.” – Word Is Bond

Noah23 x Fresh Kils received a short review from Word Is Bond of their second single, “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” featuring PremRock…

Noah23 x Fresh Kils ask “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” with PremRock

The second single from Noah23 and Fresh Kils’ upcoming album, Tuff Racket, is out now!!

For the second single from their upcoming collaboration album, Tuff Racket, Noah23 x Fresh Kils tap the talents of ShrapKnel’s PremRock, a frequent collaborator of Fresh Kils. This time around, Kils provides a sunny, synthy, summer jam that somehow still has a darkness to it. Maybe it’s the drums. Still, iIt’s a perfect dichotomy that suits the subject matter, and the stripped back beat puts the focus squarely on the lyrics. For those, Noah23 and PremRock combine concepts of anti-capitalism, drug culture, movie references, and battle rap braggadocio. “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” reveals a trio of artists that combine for a powerful hop hop combo.

Written and performed by Noah23 and PremRock
Produced by Fresh Kils

Specials 2 has arrived!

I now have Specials 2 in both formats – cassette and CD! I’m still waiting on Specials 2.5, so it will be a little longer before I get those out. But I’m going to start on getting out the CD orders in the next few days. And you can still pick up a copy in whichever format you prefer, or don’t play favourites and pick up a bundle of both.

Pasquale’s Specials 2 out now!

The new instrumental album from Pasquale is out now!

Specials 2 is the result of a couple years of work, and results matter. Imagine being whisked away to a far off world filled with similarity and anomaly all together. Over-filled ashtrays and smokey gear. Smoke makes it sound better. Is it a concoction of brilliance? Why do we continue to create? The children thought the chips were delicious. It’s like if graffiti was music. Feel blessed to live in this simultaneously best and worst timeline even with all of the crazy shit going on in the world. Buy that piece of wax you’ve had your eye on, or that new sampler that just came out even though you have five already. Hop in we’re going for a rizz-ide. And here is the soundtrack.
