Vestige – The Inanimate Life

5 05 2013

Supastition and Stoupe (formerly of Jedi Mind Tricks) have joined forces to create the music collective, Vestige, which will focus solely on releasing concept albums based around one common theme. The first project will be entitled The Inanimate Life which documents the fictional life story of a man born to an unfit mother and how his life spirals out of control due to her actions, as well as his own mistakes.

Vestige

The story and lyrics were written by Supastition with Stoupe and his production team (Bad Tape) handling the music which meshes together hip hop, downtempo, and live instrumentation. Vestige combines the renowned storytelling abilities of Supastition matched with the cinematic feel of Stoupe’s production. The MC/producer duo have been crafting the concept album for the past year while agreeing not to publicly discuss it until its completion. Vestige: a trace of something that is disappearing or no longer exists.

Supastition is also in the studio working on an upcoming EP with German-based producer, Rik Marvel. The Guilt Trip EP continues Supastition’s return to vintage sounding hip-hop with Rik Marvel handling all of the production duties. The EP will be released via Supastition’s Bandcamp tentatively scheduled for July 2013.

Jedi Mind Tricks – Australian Tour

5 09 2011

For the past fifteen years, Jedi Mind Tricks has established itself as one of the most critically-acclaimed groups in the underground hip-hop scene, with their raw and gritty flavour. From their debut album in 1996, The Psycho-social, to their seminal sophomore release, Violent By Design, to their musical expansion heard on Servants In Heaven and Kings In Hell, JMT has made an indelible impression on the independent music scene while arguably forging its own subgenre of rap.


Led by the fiery vocals of controversial frontman, Vinnie Paz, and his venerable rhyme partner, Jus Allah, the group has built one of the most commercially successful careers in independent music, together and independently. Throughout the groups history, JMT has collaborated with rap veterans, including GZA, Kool G Rap, 7L & Esoteric, Sean Price, Ras Kass, Canibus, Percee P, Killah Priest, Immortal Technique, Virtuoso, Louis Logic, R.A. the Rugged Man, Tragedy Khadafi, and Ill Bill. The group has sold over 300,000 albums in the United States and 400,000 albums worldwide, all of which were released independently, and has a growing worldwide profile, built upon a notoriously live show.

This year, JMT is set to drop its seventh studio album, Violence Begets Violence, through Vinnie Paz’s own imprint, Enemy Soil. Though JMT fans can expect more of the uncompromising, unrelenting brand of hardcore rap music that has become the group’s signature sound, Violence Begets Violence marks a change as longtime JMT producer, Stoupe, hands over production duties to a new wave of talented producers honed on the JMT sound.

Fatty Phew & Alter Ego & DJ Bogues – Best Things In Life Are Free

10 01 2010


Best things in life are free! Janet Jackson said it, but Fatty Phew, Alter Ego and DJ Bogues have made it true. With Alter Ego on production, DJ Bogues on the Decks and Fatty Phew on the mic, these 3 have come together to create a stellar FREE release that most artists would be charging for.

If you’re looking for that pure hip hop that has been missing from the airwaves of late, then look no further. Its back, and in full effect. The Best Things in Life are Free, is an impressive 5 track EP produced by Alter Ego and written by Fatty Phew. A newcomer to the scene, Alter Ego has not come in lightly, with banging beats taking influence from such producers as DJ Premier, Stoupe from Jedi Mind Tricks and Pete Rock to name a few, Ego’s beats are always large and heavy hittin’ with a hell of a lot of flavour.

Geelong’s Legendary MC Fatty Phew, is back better than ever. Phew’s versatility has always been known after the underground classic release 23 Years in the Making. With tracks like Stand Up, Phew returns with his hard-hitting lines and passionate views on life, then chills out with a track reminiscing on past experiences with Wont Forget. Tracks like So The Fuck What, pokes fun at the side of life that everybody else seems to take so serious, and Yes or No is a story about the times people tend not to take serious. To add to this new release, DJ Bogues brings his talents to the Turntables making a good thing even better. The Best Things In Life are Free!!

All Tracks produced by Alter Ego. All Cuts by DJ Bogues. All Tracks written by Fatty Phew.
This will be available February 1st for a free download and we will give you the link direct!
Check out the vid of Fatty Phew bringing the heat below. Get ready!
