A degenerate virtuoso emcee's first hand perspective of the drug-filled crime underworld set to a unique sample based sound with a distinctly Gfunk twist.

notes

This album is more like a graphic novel. A 3 year + long journey into the minds of the psychedelic and the psychopathic. San Francisco, CA born and New York raised boom-bap producer Phillipdrummond and Los Angeles born and Oakland residing controversial lunatic rapper Lush One (known for his work in up and coming juggernaut force in the music industry Delinquent Monastery also known as DelMon Crew as well as one of the West Coast's top battle emcees from Grind Time and jumpoff.tv WRC). The album consists of twisted first hand narratives recounting experiences in California's underworld drug culture, showcasing many elements such as the paranoia and struggle of the many lives affected by 'the hustle.' Many stories interweave throughout the album and bring about the constant metaphor of a 'dope run' correlating to each person's own personal self-discovery. THIS ALBUM DOES NOT CONDONE DRUG RUNNING...but it does sound pretty good when your high...or sober...or on shrooms. All of this is set to a rich tapestry of unique samples and head noddin' drums juxtaposed with a distinctly FRESH COAST synth flavor. Phillipdrummond and Lush work very well together and the cohesive sound of the album is a more cerebral alternative to Lush's more 'hardcore/clubbed out' work with DelMon. Hopefully this album serves as a piece of art and a refreshing testament to song craftsmanship for years to come... Or if not, the cover art looks really good to roll up on.

    Phillipdrummond did an amazing job on the tracks and has some serious production skills. Each track is original and funky. Mix that with some dope lyricism and you got yourself a top notch album for $10. Oh, and Lush did a decent job. lol jk. Seriously, this is tight as hell and well worth it.

  • You gotta check it

    This is some of that funky stuff. It's one of those albums that you'll keep hearing new things the more you play it. You'll be glad you got it.

    this album has substance. phillip drummond has an RJD2 sensibility that coupled with such a talented mc makes for DOPE music, no pun intended. it's rare you see something so polished fresh out the gate like this. these artists have talent. check out this album. you won't be disappointed.

  • kick ass
    author: BT Moose

    brilliant moods and visuals, a piece of audio noir, plays like the hardest of crime thrillers. like all truly great concept albums, best listened to start to finish, yet each song stands tall on its own, fused seamlessly by the powerful instrumental connective tissue.

  • great album
