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.”

Nobody’s Business :: Ceschi Rocks ‘Beauty For Bosses’ Acapella For SXSW

Posted on April 8, 2015 | Leave a comment

You never know when an artist is going to zone out and channel some realness for you on stage… that’s the beauty of when a passionate artist like Ceschi is given the chance to spill his soul in front of a crowd. At this past SXSW, he performed Beauty For Bosses off of the recently released Broken Bone Ballads, an album I am very much looking forward to taking in. Mad props to Fake Four for keeping things unflinchingly real in this world of falsification.

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.

My friends have been fans of Houston, TX soul outfit The Suffers for years, and I know that my friends have great musical taste. Their collective taste was recently validated by David Letterman, and hopefully soon the world will recognize.

Build A Bridge :: SniperShot Is ‘Walkin On Clouds’

Posted on March 22, 2015 | Leave a comment

SniperShot is one of the more interesting artists I’ve come across in my years of Texas hip hop. He isn’t one to shy away from normal conventions, yet his headspace is completely different when it comes to how he views these conventions. Of the many songs and videos he has made, this one in particular does a good job of visualizing the vibe I get when I listen to SniperShot‘s music. Walkin On Clouds is as mysterious and esoteric as it is a head nodder of a hip hop track.

Niche Exploration :: KIBO’s ‘Elements’

Posted on March 19, 2015 | Leave a comment

While cruising through Facebook recently, I came across a post from my man Kilmatik about how folks should dig a little deeper into their local music scenes, and not just follow the crowds. As an example of an artist who could use a little more recognition, he posted the following video by KIBO, and it definitely got my attention. Dig.
