Oak Lonetree x Will C. – Everything Must Glow

Oak Lonetree one of our main men tags in with the incredible Will C for the production on Everything Must Glow. This album is funky as hell, don’t sleep on it.

Everything must glow. In order to access the power and glory here, in this realm. In order to survive on a planet vibrating in dissonance. Picture a geometrically sacred tower shaken, crumbling from high above. Ancient architecture crashing down with immense gravitational pull. Withstanding the chaotic forces, a colossal oak tree remains intact and deeply rooted. The gateway to equipping infinity armor comes into clear focus. Flow like water, harness fire, transform air, reanimate earth. Nourish your body and mind and flourish forever.

Oak Lonetree walks this path. He is a man who has tapped into a new wavelength and crafted the soundtrack to a triumphant life. Main Source broke the atom. Ultramagnetic traveled at the speed of thought. Oak Lonetree is the light particle supercharger. For the listener, this is superhero theme music. The backdrop to smashing obstacles and conquering demons. Illumination. Photosynthesis.

Behind the boards is Will C. Every beat an anomaly. Faders locked in with the mathematical precision of a lunar launch. Drums smacking, surface noise crackling, VU meter glass shattering. Everything must glow, and the man on the mix is a superstar shining.

Music can be the catalyst. You can crash through walls and swing the world championship belt over your head like a helicopter propeller. Oak Lonetree and Will C. are just here to remind you. Put this in your deck and power slam your demons.

King Author and Haleem – Through and Through

King Author continues his onslaught of great releases with Through and Through w/ Haleem. I’ll let King Author describe this one,

I have a tough time describing this project without giving away what we would want people to take from it. This is not “grown men tryna still be little boys” music…..I will say that. Get it for yourselves then spread it.

R.I.P. BLACASTAN

Man, this fucking sucks. Got the news this morning that Blacastan has passed away. If you’re a fan of this site then you probably know Blacastan. Been promoting him for years, since the master of reality his very first release, pre Demigodz, pre AOTP. This dude was sooo nice with it, and just the nicest dude ever. RIP Blacastan and to his friends, family and fans I’m sorry for your loss.

The HipHopHeads Podcast: Bonus Episode (Thirstin Howl the 3rd Interview 3/15/07)

http://thecryptonline.com Presents The HipHopHeads Podcast: Bonus Episode (Thirstin Howl the 3rd Interview)
This weekend we’re recording an episode about the career of the incredible Thirstin Howl the 3rd. As an appetizer for that I dug in my vaults and blew the dirt off an interview I did with the Lo-Life General. Originally conducted 15 years ago on March 15, 2007,I interviewed Thirstin Howl the 3rd on behalf of Shogun Distribution. This was a small label out of Australia that most notably put out NECRO’s DEATH RAP and MF Grimm’s Hunt For The Gingerbread Man, the label appeared to fizzle out in 2009. Thirstin and I talk about a range of different topics for roughly 20 MINUTES. Admittedly, I was quite nervous doing this interview because I had been a fan since the Lyricist Lounge Show. Thirstin is still very active and still working on a range of different projects, hes truly prolific, support him if you can. So go give it listen and and share it with the homies. Put your L’s up.
