" Boston lyricist M-Dot and producer Confidence return with their powerful new single, "Rollercoaster Pt. 2," featuring legendary Hip-Hop emcee Masta Ace. Produced by Confidence, who also provides the cuts, the track delivers a soulful boom-bap backdrop for sharp lyricism and introspective storytelling.
"Rollercoaster Pt. 2" is the sequel to the single "Rollercoaster" off M-Dot & Confidence's album "Library Of Sound" released last year. The single marks a special reunion between M-Dot and Masta Ace, who have previously collaborated and now reconnect to bring fans another standout moment rooted in authentic Hip-Hop. Both emcees trade thoughtful verses and share hook duties, reflecting on life’s ups and downs, perseverance and the unpredictable ride of the music industry. With Confidence’s signature production and turntable work tying everything together, “Rollercoaster Pt. 2” captures the essence of classic Hip-Hop " - courtesy of Below System Records
In 1995, the Canadian magazine Elements published an interview with legendary Toronto-based rapper Saukrates. Joined by his manager Chase Lover, he discussed the upcoming release of his debut album "Father Time", produced by Clark Kent, Buckwild and No I.D.
For reasons that remain unclear... though most likely related to label issues... the album was never released, a significant loss given the expectations surrounding it. Saukrates released his first single "Still Caught Up", in 1994 at the age of 17, followed a year later by "Hate Runs Deep", featuring his friend Marvel. Father Time LP was originally scheduled for release that same year. It's definitely something that I'd like to see coming out on vinyl nowadays. Here are a few tracks from the original Father Time demo tape... Enjoy!
" Originally recorded and self-released on cassette under the name Vertigo in 1995, Swells of Abstract is the debut LP by The Anonymous, stalwarts of the late 90s Los Angeles underground hip-hop scene. Formed in Philadelphia in 1993, the project brought together Cleveland-born producer Zinndeadly, emcee/producer and New York native Vesuveo, and Bay Area emcee Able. Now available on vinyl for the first time, this limited edition, complete with remastered audio, new artwork, extensive liner notes, and archival photographs, brings the album to wax more than three decades later. It is the first of their four albums together as a crew. " - courtesy of Gramofix Records
