RL Grime | Trap On Acid

Here’s a freebee from the currently on fire, RL Grime , not but an hour old and only two weeks after the release of his debut Grapes EP . Supposedly, this is an apology for some manufacturing issues of the patch set to accompany the purchase of the hardcopy product. I think its safe to say that he’s been forgiven.

RL Grime | Grapes EP

At the stroke of midnight, the Wedidit Collective , fronted this time by MPC-party starter, RL Grime , imparts upon it’s audience the long awaited Grapes EP . Get your cell phone out of your pocket and take down their number – that’s (911)-420-6969 – because you might just have the urge to thank them personally after you indulge in this L-pape cone of a release.

20 year old crunk-wunderkind, Henry ‘RL’ Steinway, indulges the considerable expectation that has been mounting around this product since “Grapes a la Vodka,” became every wily DJ’s 2:20am climax jam back in September of last year, with tracks like the thick, yet silky “ Treadstone, ” and the cheekily triumphant, “ Amphibian .” This, his honed talent, along with his impressive posse of like-minded beat-smiths providing everything from the genretic diversity of the LOL Boys ‘ elongated tweak, to the lively nostalgia evoked by Salva’ s number, packs Grapes up into one dense and, dare I say it, “dank” package. Shlohmo and 2KWTVR ‘s contribution, the coincidentally appropriate cherry of this joint, closes the 8-track extended play with a bang so satisfying that I was compelled to relive the moment again…and again…and then a few more times, until i began to question the harmless nature of my audio-habit. In other words, if it were physically possible to smoke this EP, I would. Happy 420.

Death Grips | I’ve Seen Footage

[Artwork for The Money Store]

Sacrementan noise-hop group, Death Grips , eases away from the drug induced/apocalyptic vibes of their previous works and into something one might identify as having a more fitness-induced feel to it, though still apocalyptic, of course. Lookout for their forthcoming LP, The Money Store , due out on the 24th of April via Epic .

And here’s a video that captures their unique brand of controlled chaos, featuring yet another single off of The Money Store .

Swindle | Ignition

Swindle is a creative and talented dubstep producer crafting his sounds out of East London, UK. The “Ignition EP” was dropped in late January off of his own label, “ Swindle Productions .” The Ep features two high quality instrumentals and one superior track titled after the EP, Ignition . Combining sounds from the grime veteran Footsie , the delicate vocals of Nadia Suliman , and his own  characteristic reverberations, the single, Ignition, is the full package.
