The second of two singles dropping today is Magick Show’s “Morning Star”…
For the second single from Magick Show’s sophomore EP, the Nickel City supergroup delve deeper into their explorations of the dark arts with this ode to witches and warlocks. Produced by Max Moon, the beat is dominated by ominous organ notes and plodding drums on which original members Mickey O’Brien and Max Moon each drop a verse while new member Johnny Bizness is relegated the rookie role of cursing the soul with a catchy chorus. Welcome the Morning Star into your life with the wordplay wizardry of Magick Show.
Written and performed by Mickey O’Brien, Max Moon, and Johnny Bizness Produced by Max Moon Mastered by Dorc
One of two singles dropping today is The Dirty Sample’s “Don’t F@#k With Witches”…
The third single from Beats To Murder Rappers 2, the upcoming beat tape from The Dirty Sample, is a dedication to the witches who work with the energies of the universe. On “Don’t F@#k With Witches”, an unnatural wind blows over a mid-tempo boom bap drum beat as the remaining elements of the instrumental switch between a series of slow synth notes and a bunch of little creepy samples. It’s the perfect soundtrack for cooking up that evil curse. Now you know, you don’t f@#k with witches!
