Blacastan & Stu Bangas ft Tragedy Khadafi - War Crimes


Official Army Of The Pharaohs and Demigodz emcee Blacastan has been steadily staking his claim to the title of ‘savior of underground rap music’ since his debut mixtape Me Against The Radio and its key cut and video "Life Of A Tape" became an underground cult classic in 2007.

2014 saw Blac teaming up with producer and longtime AOTP and Demigodz collaborator Stu Bangas for the first installment of Watson & Holmes. Now the duo is back with The Uncanny Adventures of Watson & Holmes, a sophomore effort that improves on the first in every way.  Stu gets completely brutal with the beats, and Blac ups the ante on the rhymes. Plus, they’ve enlisted Ill Bill (Non-Phixion, La Coka Nostra), Nutso, Apathy (Demigodz, AOTP) 7L & Esoteric (AOTP, Czarface), and Tragedy Khadafi to lend their talents to the project. 

Blac explains that this time around, he “really dug in and executive produced it: every sample, every transition, every edit.”  He adds “People might not realize it, but this album took 4 years to make!  I also worked closely with engineer Eddie Sanchoon crafting the actual sound of the album... Stu and I are so familiar with each other’s process that we already know what the other is thinking before he thinks it.”  Stu elaborates, saying that “this time around we tried out different tempos, different vibes for songs, and Blac played around with different rhyme patterns, so it shows how we have both grown as artists.”    

For the first leak the twosome drop the Tragedy featured banger "Ware Crimes" where we can see the overall sound continues from the first project. Blacastan & Stu Bangas The Uncanny Adventures of Watson & Holmes will be released on 6-9-17 via Brick Records.
