Lando Chill – Madera Canyon [EP]

“The fidelity of live instrumentation in modern day hip hop has been making a fervent comeback, & being surrounded by some of the most incredible musicians I’ve ever met, it was only natural to progress toward a higher musicality. Lando Chill (I) have been fortunate enough to play live shows with the band since November of 2014, & since their (our) genesis, we’ve sculpted live versions of cuts before, after, and from Lando Chill (my) debut album, ‘For Mark, Your Son’. I’m proud to present work that is a branch from the growing tree of Lando Chill & represent the core musicians who help the the kid coast.” – Lando Chill Madera Canyon EP by Lando Chill

Five Steez x Mordecai – HeatRockz [EP]

“HeatRockz” is Five Steez’s first collaborative EP with producer, Mordecai. It is his most aggressive project to date and features ‘true school’ boom-bap Hip Hop bangers to keep heads nodding. “This is my first project without that much of a theme,” the rapper says. “It’s really me having fun, flexing my skill and making high-energy music ideal to play in the car or hear me perform at a show.” The EP’s opening track, “Dirty Couch”, is a dusty-sounding “bona fide headnodder” with Steez taunting inferior rappers. He follows with “Encore”, an energetic banger with which you can see him rocking his audience in a packed venue. The HeatRockz continue with Mic to the Check on which Steez fits in pocket on an uptempo beat with a catchy hook and his signature wit. The fourth cut is “True School” which features him pledging allegiance to Hip Hop’s core principles and ethics over an eerie sampled chopped by Mordecai. The project closes with “Gods Collide”, a reunion track with longtime collaborators Sosa and Nomad Carlos over a quirky but gritty instrumental. HeatRockz by Five Steez x Mordecai
