Fresh from the success of his work on Red Pill’s “We Are Not Like Them” and the current “9 Lives” series of MTVHive-featured Doss The Artist, Hir-O presents The Freakstrumental Joint. The Freakstrumental Joint is a multimedia experience that meshes music, poetry and photography to re-interpolate timeless love-making songs into new classics.
BLAT! Pack rapper Red Pill and BLAT! Producer Hir-O have been working on a collaboration album called “The Kick.” Today, they have released a track for the first time off of the upcoming album. “We Are Not Like Them” is the title of this track.. DOWNLOAD IT BELOW!!
So, here it is. The first track me and Hir-O are releasing from “The Kick”…. “We Are Not Like Them”… We made this track a few months ago and it happened to become pretty relevant given the Occupy Wall Street protests going on around the country. This is the first album track I’ve released since Please Tip Your Driver, almost 2 years ago… If you like it, please help by posting it. You have no idea how much a simple “Share” helps…. Thanks and I hope you guys like it! – Red Pill

KuroiOto originally crafted M.A.X.Wellness as a surprise birthday gift, but he decided to unleash the project to the world to show his love. For his third instrumental project , the Detroit-bred producer cleverly flips eight samples, primarily by R&B powerhouse Maxwell, to craft just as many silky, emotive soundbeds to represent the joy a certain loved one gives his life.
Here’s some highlights from our interview with Hir-O, who stopped by F.O.K.U.S. Radio back in January to talk about his new instrumental album The Voyage Home. Check out the second clip to watch a session over original Hir-O beats featuring The Amature, Red Pill, JYoung The General, P.H.I.L.T.H.Y., Doss The Artist, & L05.
RELEASE REMINDER FOR BLAT! PACK RAPPER JYOUNG THE GENERAL‘S BLACK HISTORY YEAR INSTALLMENT 2 IS AVAILABLE FOR FREE DOWNLOAD TOMORROW APRIL 19, 2011!! STAY TUNED FOR THE DOWNLOAD LINK TOMORROW!
Lansing Music: Want hip-hop? Of course you do. Check out this Lansing-based rapper.
JYoung the General knows good hip-hop music is more than catchy beats and clever rhymes.
It involves smart, carefully placed social commentary– lyrics that get you to move in the club, but also make you think differently about the world around.
On “Black History Year: Installment Two,” the Lansing-based rapper does just that— brings together sociopolitical, very aware commentary with hot, steady, flowing beats, and the combo is simply dynamite.
The album, which is available for a free download on Tuesday, April 19, is an extension of JYoung’s personal experiences.
“My music is an extension of the things I learn,” JYoung says. “After so long of rapping about the experiences of my adolescence, I knew that speaking on the things I learned in college would balance out my arsenal.”
