Category Archives: Underground Me Now

In preparation for the upcoming release of the instrumental project Slow Burnout, and the as of yet untitled new solo project, I decided it was time to drop another ‘mixtape’. I locked myself down in the studio for a weekend, and after a handful of marathon sessions, I created a follow-up to A Working Class Hero (Is Something To Be). The latest installment in my series of ‘mixtapes’, Nothing Gold Can Stay is further exploration into the musical influences I embrace.

Phranchyze has never been afraid to embrace his influences wholeheartedly, no matter what the source. His latest project, #TheAnimeTape, is a chance to embrace the spectrum that most hip-hop heads enjoy on the low. Here’s a video from the project as well!

from the digital desk of IKE:

“The Paradise Lost Tapes is a collection of songs that will not be included on the official Paradise LP release, for a variety of reasons. As with Paradise, the entire project was written by IKE (Soul 20/20 | Los Angeles, CA), produced by Haris Q (LNS Crew | Austin, TX), co-produced by IKE, and mixed and mastered by Shawn Dell (Action Figures Music | Austin, TX). The album features Laws, Kydd Jones, Khaleel, and more.”

Good Combinations :: Cap’N Kirk And Click-Clack’s ‘FMBO e’klektik’

Posted on April 5, 2015 | Leave a comment

Back when I first heard Click-Clack‘s Housework II, one of the standout moments was the track Visions, featuring Cap’n Kirk of the Austin hip-hop massive SubKulture Patriots. Hearing Kirk on Click-Clack‘s production really had me wanting to hear more. Here we are, a few months later, and FMBO e’klektik has touched down. I will have to return for a full review in the near future, but my initial listening sessions have been thoroughly enjoyable. Check it out for yourselves, and don’t forget to share it with others.

Bigger Each Year :: Exploded Drawing SXSW Compilation 2015

Posted on March 15, 2015 | Leave a comment

There are TOO many people on this compilation to list, but trust me, every time that soundfounder and Butcher Bear get together to show the world what Exploded Drawing has in store for the year, it’s a hit. Throw in A Better Tomorrow handling the sonic polishing, and we’re in it to win it. I’m especially proud of this one, because I have a track on here from the upcoming instrumental release Slow Burnout, plus a collaboration from Butcher Bear‘s upcoming album with BoomBaptist. Dig it, share it, and support your local underground movement!
