Producer's Corner: The Kount x James Gent - The Sum

Canada's Kount and London's James Gent link up to drop off "The Sum" via BLVNT Records. While it is an instrumental track, it's just dripping with soul and speaks to me more than most lyrical laden songs do these days. It begins with some flighty plucks of the guitar accompanied by exploratory strokes of the ivories before erupting into a smorgasbord of only the grooviest synths backed by dense, clean drums falling in a classic hip hop pattern. The ghostly vocals elevate the tracks potential to evoke longing, but it feels like a more self-assured longing than a desperate one. It seems to be acknowledging a sense of seclusion while also inspiring hope for salvation from that seclusion. You can stream the track below or, if you feel so inspired, you can name your own price and get the download over at Bandcamp.

[OK-THO Premiere] Jyroscope unleash heavy new single, “Quasi”

Chicago trio Jyroscope has built a reputation for bringing dense, complex lyricism over innovative production, and their latest single is no exception.

“Quasi” is the group’s second offering from their forthcoming EP, MUTE, which is expected to be released in December on ReServed Records. The song features frequent Jyro collaborator Jason Gatz and is produced by I.B. Fokuz, who also did about 80% of the EP.

The group, which consists of emcees Collasoul Structure and I.B. Fokuz and DJ Seanile, has been together since the mid-2000s and has released three projects to date: Ragtime, On the Rocks, and On The House.

“The 3 projects that we’ve released cannot amount to all that we have done in the course of those years,” I.B. Fokuz said. “A lot of our time was spent on multiple projects like Advent, Tomorrow Kings, and Collabing with other artists but this go-round....It’s time for us to truly make our mark.”

Bito Sureiya: "Why Is Hiromi Dead" (prod. by Jumbled)

Bito Sureiya of nasa8 is probably one of the more unorthodox artists you’ll run into and honestly that I’ve heard over my decade of covering hip-hop. Bito is prolific however it’s one thing to be prolific and stay in one lane, but I think of Bito as a chameleon in hip-hop. Able to blend in with any sound or beat you throw his way (probably because he produces as well).

Through the course of this year it sounds like Bito will be releasing singles and random EPs. Today I have the track “Why Is Hiromi Dead” produced by Jumbled. Between the adlibs, the menacing beat by Jumbled you can’t help but crave more when the short track is finished. Peep it below and keep your ears perked for more by Bito & nasa8.
