Le System D

Vi posto il nuovo album degli Unknown Prophets Le System D!



"Made from scratch; a truly homemade album of natural freshness and awesomeness!!!
In the book The Nasty Bits the chef and writer Anthony Bourdain refers to System D - the MacGyverish, git-r-done, dont look too closely at how many eggs got busted in pursuit of an omelet approach that professional cooks use to get dinner on the table, no matter what. The foundational Minneapolis hip-hop group Unknown Prophets took System D as their title for this album, their fourth album, and first since 2006s The Road Less Traveled, and so present this 11 course prix-fixe meal designed to satisfy the deepest hungers. Like the hunger in rap for musicians who can play their own instruments - when Jay-Z called for hip-hop to pay attention to bands like Grizzly Bear he had no way of knowing that at that very moment MaD SoN was composing this album on guitar. And the hunger of Big Jess to use rap to address more than bling and shopping, to take on existential issues like the propensity of the universe to ignore us, or as he says in track 6, Dont you ever feel like screaming/at the top of your lungs for no reason/in the middle of a crowded place/and people stare at you like youre from outer space In restaurants they call cooking that incorporates the influence of many cuisines Fusion; If Le System D was a meal youd call if a Fusion of underground dance artists like the Avalanches (see track 5 for more on this), hard rock, and swift, playful elegant rhyme in the style of early Eminem, but in Big Jess,Willy Lose, and MaD SoNs hands this fusion cooking is far more than the sum of its parts, its a new cuisine, an unforgettable meal, a satisfying repast that proves that it truly is far better to have a meal prepared by chefs who have been kicking around the kitchen enough to know their way around a knife.
Hate Face, the lead single from LSD, features the Seattle-based rapper Grieves recently featured as MySpaces Indie Artist to watch for. The song is a love gone bad break up song with a killer hook and a catchy melody. Doomtree powerhouse producer Lazerbeak and newcomer Chickenbone trade production licks with Big Jess on the instrumental cut Tap Dance. The song Forever features Swedish MC Promoe of the Swede Grammy winning group Looptroop Rockers. Fresh is another warm weather anthem featuring South Minneapolis own New MC and the beautiful vocals of Alicia Steele. Portland based rapper Braille lends his skills to Explore. What I Live For set to be the second single from LSD, is another catchy track that lends its inspiration from the long and cold winter months here in Minnesota.
Minny in the house! Enjoy with a fat rock."
