Second Merck CD from Austin, Texas based producer Malcom Kipe, better known to some as Nautilis (of Planet-Mu). Lit is a get down and dirty piece focused on the aesthetics of raw sample based hip hop and the nasty sampling habits of Malcom Kipe. This is a collection of 52 minutes of beats and instrumentals composed of twenty tracks made and polished in 2004 & 2005. This album is strongly influenced early 90's hip hop production and excessive crate digging. Including lots of material that fans of his previous full length CD, Breakspiracy Theories, should fall in love with.
Thanks for reviewing this album! You should see it show up on the album page in a few days.
This is on of the best album's I have simply discovered through browsing emusic. Off the Joint and Grind are totally addicting beats and rhythms. A complex web of sounds that are elegant and hard, capturing the soulful of the dirty south in Austin. Cosmic, but without the tofu! Thanks I love this work Read more...
I found this CD by searching for "instrumental hip hop" and saw it on someone's recommended list. I'm a huge fan of DJ Shadow, RJD2, Blockhead, etc. and was looking for something in the same vein. While not quite as layered as those other artists, you'll love this CD if you like them and want a bit more old school boom-bap hip hop influence. Read more...
