Everyone knows Jaws is a fictional creation—a fisherman’s tale, like the one that got away. Except it’s YOU that got away, only so you can live to spread the legend. Whenever you dip your toe into veiled waters, that enormous, tumultuous, mythical creature can gnaw its way from the back of your mind to the forefront of your nightmares. You thought you were safe. You believed your surroundings were benevolent. You convinced yourself that you were in control. But, in less time than it takes you to gauge the water’s temperature, a shark can swallow you whole—or simply take a souvenir, like a leg or a forearm. Right now you may consider yourself the king of your block, the ruler of your people, the OG, or the G.O.A.T., but sharks live amongst us all, and they can smell your unease and taste your apprehension. Next time you tread into deep water, be aware of your surroundings because Touch & The Dirty Sample are on the hunt as Jawz.

It’s April 20th, the first 4/20 in Canada since marijuana was legalized. Touch & The Dirty Sample have the perfect song for just such an occasion. “No More” is off upcoming album Jawz, dropping April 26 on Hand’Solo Records. Over The Dirty Sample’s laid back, jazzy production, Touch celebrates our newfound freedoms and all the things we don’t have to worry about no more. The song is a perfect pairing with the date, so “No More” will be released April 20, ahead of the album, and is available free to download all day. Download “No More” and… let’s get high!
Lyrics written and performed by Touch

Last year Hand’Solo Records finally released the long-awaited album from Psybo, Wherewithal. The historical hip hop blog Record Recollection did a little interview with Psybo regarding the album and its release. A great read for fans of Psybo, Toolshed, or the Backburner crew.

Don’t move. Don’t breath. Try as hard as you can to slow the beat of your heart to an undetectable rhythm. And just when you think it’s safe, out of the “Deep Water” swims Jawz! The Dirty Sample hones in on the electromagnetic frequency emitted by your worst fears and produces a sound to trigger a feeding frenzy in fellow apex predators Touch and Ghettosocks. Drowning is preferable for any unsuspecting meal that encounters these three hungry sharks as they flow through the “Deep Water”. For the first single from their upcoming summer blockbuster, Jawz, dropping April 26 on Hand’Solo Records, Touch & The Dirty Sample are joined by guest Ghettosocks on the raps and art design, and receive a remix from Illions (The Dirty Sample and Metawon). “We on top of the food chain, and you what we chewin’…”
