"Emergency Powers; the world tour" is out NOW! Billy Woods and Priviledge are the Super Chron Flight Brothers and "Emergency Powers" is their debut album. With production by Bond, MF DOOM, Nasa (Def Jux/Uncommon Music), Dr. Monokrome and Goldenchild, as well as guestspots by Cannibal Ox, Trife da God, The Reavers and Marq Spekt, "Emergency Powers" is a future classic. Innovative storytelling, fearless lyricism and dope beats come together in a story of two black men flying high, low and everywhere in between for two years of their lives. Cannabis scented, unapologetically political and darkly humorous, the Super Chron Flight Brothers "Emergency Powers" is available from here.
Perhaps not since the emergence of the Wu-Tang Clan
has there been a hip-hop group of this magnitude. The
Reavers are a supergroup like no other, eleven amazing
MC's, weilding a dizzying array of styles. Eleven
strugglers brought to together by backwoodz studioz to
march on the fortresses of the status quo. Eleven
child soliders charging into the void, with nothing
but a burning blunt to light the way. Kings, beggars,
thugs, prophets, heathens, philosophers, drunks,
healers, killers and poets are all among the Reavers
ranks. And TERROR FIRMA is where we live.
In his follow-up to Eminent Domain, Bond comes out with guns blazin'.
Over the course of this 70 minute LP, Bond probably runs
through 50 different beats and almost every genre of music thats ever been recorded. Expect
the unexpected, light your blunt, clean your guns, fix your bike chain, put away the good
silverware because like a wise man once said "It's only like five percent out of a hundred!"
Chicago native Keith Masters, previously known as Stretch
Nyce, brings you his debut solo effort, "Bioluminescence". While trail-blazing
his solo career with a full-length album in the works now, Keith has steadily
worked with rap peers (Vordul, Kast Uno, etc.) not to mention being
a member of The Reavers. Regardless of the venue, Keith's
versatility and insightful lyricism stand out as selling points for any
fan of true and earnest Hip Hop music.
The second installment in the Soundlcash series pits two unsigned producers
brimming with audio slicing skills, AXIS v.
Goldenchild, who deliver an exciting
second heat battle of wits beats and ingenuity to dodge entertainment rights and deliver
entertainment to the people. Although the two competitors vary greatly in style they both
dramatically challenge traditional sampling techniques and implementations in their music,
and in the ways electronics blends with the live elements.
all things considered, that was a long time ago
DR MONOKROME...
NPR vs MAD
After carving out a niche as one-half of genre-busting production duo Aerotaxi,
DR. MONOKROME (formerly known as BeepBeep) strikes out for himself with
a double EP. And he strikes out boldly, laying down two entirely different
soundscapes for two different groups.
The first in a series of epic sonic battles pits the master of illusion
and cold-blooded sample-assassin James Bond against Monsta Island's secret
weapon, The MeccaGodZilla. The battle is joined by Vordul of Cannibal
Ox, Monsta Island Czars, Majesty, billy woods, RAVAGE, King Ra, Divine
Mind and Shist. The forecast reads: Expect Shrapnel!
"Eminent Domain" is an EP of instrumentals, blends, remixes and unreleased freestyles by billy woods, Vordul Mega and Kong of M.I.C.. Bond is somehow able to weave all these elements into a paperback book of hip-hop pulp fiction. As a prelude to the release of a full 007 comp. by the end of the year, this is a limited release, so get it while you can.
The Chalice is billy woods 2004 solo release, featuring Cannibal Ox, Kong
of Monsta Island Czars, Karneige of Definitive Jux, as well as the backwoodz
family. It's an election year and backwoodz studioz ain't leaving no
hanging chads, sic semper tyrannis.
The Growroom is a mixtape of backwoodz artists and affiliates, including
Gates, woods, Vordul, Proximity Minds, Malene Younglao, and Rec Circle.
Also featured are Chicago's Thaione Davis and the Bay Area's resident
battle champ, Locksmith.

Camouflage was backwoodz's first release, featuring billy woods and Vordul
of Cannibal Ox. Production by 007 and Aerotaxi backs up an array of insightful
lyricism and vicious freestyles.
