Tycotic – The Weed Song

21 10 2012

Since the release of his collaborative project The People Vs Tycotic (2006), which received spins from triple j and featured guest vocals from names like Phrase, Spit Syndicate and Torcha, Tycotic has become an unstoppable force in the scene, with his punchline heavy rhyme style and rock-solid all terrain flow.

With a reputation for delivering an electric live show, Tycotic has toured Australia and landed support slots for the likes of Tech N9ne, Bone Thugs n Harmony, Bliss n Eso, 360, Drapht, Illy and Kerser, just to name a few. 2008 saw Tycotic release Conversation Domination distributed through MGM, and soon after embarked on the Conversation Domination Tour.

As well as working on his own music, Tycotic was the executive producer on Xrsize’s debut LP Lyrikally Fit (2007), and even more recently has directed music videos for Kerser. With a brand new video (The Weed Song), and an EP titled Epica about to drop, Tycotic is back with a vengeance. So don’t say you weren’t warned.

In December 2005 he released his debut album NJE – Life’s Scripturez, without a label which he self distributed to various stores around AUS such as JB HI FI & online…
In May 2008 NJE followed up his debut with a new mixtape titled The Independent Hustlers Mixtape with DJ D-Kutz, to give his fans a taste of what to expect in the future.

Torcha & B-Don – Frozen State LP

15 02 2010

“Torcha’s new LP Frozen State with musical genius B-Don cements his place at the forefront of Australian hip hop. This is his third full LP release in less than one year and the sound developed has gone from strength to strength” – John Payne, VP, Death Row Records

Collecting the best elements of his previous work, Torcha & B-Don blend the graceful acoustics of piano-led interludes (the opening salvo of “On The Map”) and rock guitars with hard hitting hip hop beats and Torcha’s surefire lyrical flow. From contemporary issues to political, from the laid back to the serious, Frozen State is a slice of the world Torcha has been exploring (from Australia to Europe, from the Americas to Asia), all distilled with his distinct lyrical outlook, giving the album plenty of ground to cover.

With his blues leanings intact (“Internet Age”) and hip hop roots still packing a punch (the Hyjak & Feva guesting on the title track), Frozen State is another defining statement in the Australian Hip Hop landscape. Unafraid to test new ground (“Cross That Line”) while remaining close to home (lining up guest spots from N’FA, 2Furious, and S.Q.Z), Torcha & B-Don have created the next big stepping stone in the genre’s already noted history.

Track listing:
01. On the Map
02. Road Rage
03. Internet Age
04. Waiting
05. Smoke Circles
06. The Zone
07. Frozen State (ft. Hyjak & Feva)
08. Sacrelidge (ft. S.Q.Z.)
09. Perfect View (ft. 2furious)
10. Over the Limit (ft. Hyjak)
11. Ups and Downs
12. Walking Contradiction (ft. N’FA)
13. Cross That Line (ft. Listic)
14. Everybody Moves (ft. Bobby Kim & Buga Kingz)
