Montgomery Tea - Captain King
This is one of the best solo rap albums to come out locally in a really long time. The introductory track, All Around the World, is a 5-minute instrumental aetherial track with a good beat and a outerspace sound reminiscent of perhaps M83 or Massive Attack, for example. The first lyrical track, "I Guess" contains some very personal narrative storytelling that gets you into the life of Captain King, who grew up in New Haven and still lives here.
The beats are almost reminiscent of dubstep in the sense that they're accentuated and distorted with echo-splash snares, to a hip-hop rhythm. Some of these tracks have a lot of listens. 720 currently for "Ride" at the end, so it's getting a fair amount of exposure in the world. Give it a chance and listen to it. You'll be impressed by the talent of local musicians like Tea Montgomery, Captain King.
Explicit Lyrics: YES
New Music from The Foresters
Everyone's favorite trio from Bethany is at it again. The guitar solos are getting better. The vocals are getting better. All stats are up this season.
Black Mask Nation: #BLVKTOBER
The highly awaited "#BLVKTOBER" album from local rap group Black Mask Nation is here.
You can buy it here (name your price). Pretty generous, for a group of masked rappers.
They made it because they were tired of hearing the same old thing. Get an idea for what kind of creative forces behind the scene are making it happen in Connecticut. And go to see them live.
Best tracks IMHO:
- LORDZ OF THE UNDERGROUND (ft Cognition)
as featured in the music interview on Vimeo.com/MusicScene - REIGNY DAZE ...just give the whole album a chance, really.
Different kind of styles of flow.
Have some Manners
Listen here or on Bandcamp today.
like my father and his father before him,
but these days I cant seem to fight
wars for causes that I just don’t believe in
Our children are born singing
the same old songs of confusion and hate
and we sit by idly
and let the dead crop rise to feed this country
Don’t tell me I’m no patriot
just because I don’t believe the lies they’re telling
If you opened your eyes for just one second
You would see the country you love crumbling at your feet
They failed you when they went back on their word
If you wont defend yourselves no one will
Energetic and heavy, tempos varying from 60bpm to 150bpm. Melodic at times, chaotic at others. Not what you'd expect from something conceived in a barn. It would be great if Connecticut still had a few decent skateparks because this would be seriously amazing to live-skate to.
