Goat Mob (Geko and Aetcix) - “Code Green”

If the Goat Mob promo video is anything to go by then this new Crate Cartel project will basically be Aetcix talking so much shit that Chunk from the Goonies wouldn’t be able to get a motherfucking word in and Geks sitting silently at the back tweeting people that he is unimpressed with their utilisation of Americanised spelling. Kind of like a stoned version of Penn and Teller, only with less weird goatee’s.

Thankfully though you can’t trust everything you watch.

Goat Mob is the sound of ditching that Espy gig, punching the last billy, standing up and tripping over a coffee table full of empties and smashing your face into a milk crate full of grimy boom bap records from the 90’s. In other words, my kind of shit. No really - that is a typical weekend for me.

This particular track by the 2 producers/MC’s “Code Green” is about the current financial situation in Greece and the effects which the current round of austerity measures is having upon the psyche of the younger generations of disenfranchised youth. 

Or it might just be about weed. Click the cover to listen and cop the LP from Crate Cartel

“Face of Disaster” by Phaze One (M-Phazes and Emilio Rojas) - UNRELEASED

When we heard that one of our favourite producers M-Phazes (yeah we didn’t throw the ‘Australian’ condition in there on purpose chump) and underrated NYC spitter Emilio Rojas had teamed up for a full LP, we were pretty keen to cop a listen. As a matter of fact, we are still keen cause we aint heard the Phaze One album that these two buddies have cooked up at all yet cause we refuse to let Mark know where we live after we dissed his DJing abilities. However judging by what didn’t make the cut though, it is probably going to be the most dangerous team-up since Danny Glover and pre-crazy Mel Gibson were shooting motherfuckers in the face during the 90’s.

This track was a tentative intro to the Phaze One LP, but was scrapped. Oh yeah, Phazes went there with those classic drums! And Rojas wrecks shop whilst sounding like he isn’t even out of second gear. Shit is dope, but Phazes didn’t even have a damn name for the track! He said call it “Face of Disaster (promo leak)” or something. Call it whatever you want… I call it sick.

I might even chance hitting Phazes with my postal. A possible cricket bat to the face is worth risking if there is more heat like this on the full length.

“Bat Country” by Hunter and Mortar (featuring Hilltop Hoods, Layla and Graphic)

“One toke? You poor fool! Wait till you see those goddamn bats.”

- Raoul Duke

Severe illness and cancer be fucking damned! Nothing was ever going to stop these two SBX legends from unleashing this Hunter S Thompson inspired LP of epic proportions on the unsuspecting masses. The fact that Hunter and Mortar have fought through some heavy medical diagnosis’ to deliver this LP is amazing. You would have forgiven the two Perth natives for retiring the mic for a minute and recuperating in peace. I guess that’s hard to do when you live and breathe this hip hop shit though.

Have yet to cop the LP yet, but if this track is anything to go by the shit is gonna be bigger than Doctor Gonzo’s hangovers. Did you see that line-up? Whoah! Mortar lays down an automatic headnodder on “Bat Country” that he and Hunts proceed to drive into the desert at 140km/h while randomly shooting at giant lizards and picking up the Hoods and fellow SBX hitchhikers Layla and Graphic.

Click on the cover to play and somebody pass me the mescaline.

Purpose - ‘6 In The Mornin’

We’ve been a fan of Purps for a while. Hell, he and fellow Pagen Elypsis spitter Pohetikut were our first in-studio guests when Peak Street had our gully radio show on SYN (on that note fuck you Desh you Planet Urban cocksmoking bitchass sack sucking turd). The man was also in Issue 1 of our magazine for christs sake. So of course we were going to check out his mixtape “If The City Had a Voice Part 2” when it dropped.

And it’s impressive shit. But if you’re expecting straight dirty battle rhymes, forget it. Purpose’s lyricism is polished. Like, shiny polished. So polished that it hurts your eyes polished. Like it is crossover polished, deserving of getting a chance to crack the US market, not David fucking Dallas. Fuck he even uses he term swag in his rhymes and I still don’t hate him. That’s pretty big for me! Though to be honest Purps you were pushing the friendship with that dubstep shit……..

He rides over some stolen beats, sounding right at home over some of Ye’s recent creations, but what really surprised me was that the man is really getting good behind the boards now too, with tracks like ‘Where I’m Comin From’ and ‘All Over the World’ sounding sharp.

The above track ‘6 In The Mornin’ shows Purps at his best on the mic and boards. Headnodding goodness, quotables by the dozen and a cadence all you lames could learn from. Oh yeah and DJ Hacksaw smashing it on the cut. Click the cover and enjoy.

Then click here and download “If The City Had A Voice Part 2’ for free. Oh yeah!

“Nightmares” by After Hours

You know how the Israelites were forced to wander the desert for 40 years cause they pissed God off so he sent them into Egypt with no GPS or something? Well the hip hop equivalent has been waiting on Certified Wise goons After Hours to drop this damn ‘Daker Days’ EP or LP or whatever the fuck it is.

Actually that metaphor doesn’t work at all.

Fuckit! My point is that Headlock, Integer1, Edits and DJ Jugular (I thinks that is still who is in the crew anyway) took a damn long time to push this out after hitting us with the homecooked goodness of ‘Different Rules Apply’ in 2001 and ‘A Heroes Turf’ around 2003. 

It’s classic Certified Wise and listening to it it feels like you’re hanging out with these lovabale arseholes on and Adelaide porch sinking longnecks and spittin frees. Makes me wish these fuckers spent more time in the studio and less time in whatever day jobs they’re working.

The track “Nightmares” is some ‘punching-cunts-in-the-throat-through-the-power-of-wolf-shirt type shit. Click the cover and enjoy.

Syntax - “Open Mic Night” (Cam Bluff Remix)

So when I heard that Syntax was teaming up with producer of the moment Cam Bluff to remix his 2010 LP ‘The Musical’ my first thought was, “Why? Your LP was pretty tight. Why don’t you just write some new songs you lazy sonofabitch!”  

But then Tax threw me this track and it all made sense.

You know how the original of The Pharcyde’s “She Said”, produced by Slim Kid Tre was good? But then Dilla came along with his remix and made it a classic? Well Mules of Choose Mics did a good job laying down some chilled head nod ish for the OG, but Cam Bluff straight killed it on the remix!

Bluff’s marching drums and polished samples lends the track immediacy and perfectly compliments some of the tightest verses the self-proclaimed ‘Pied Piper of Rap’ spat last year. Click Syntax’s mug and experience it yourself kids.

Now Tax, go get back in the studio with Mules (we still love ya beats too son!) and push out this new project.

Drapht - “Take The Party With Us” (Featuring Funkoars)

Whats that kids? You needed a new hip hop anthem to get smashed to? I think Perth’s finest and ADL’s rowdiest might just have you covered with this one.

The details are a little hazy (much like the song), but it seems that this track was inspired by the recent incident of the Oars tour bus (which I’ve got money on being a Datsun 1200) being pulled over by the jacks. Allegedly them and Drapht were warbling this song too loudly and caught the attention of the boys in blue who then ‘smelt cannabis in this car’.

Hilarity no doubt ensued.

Thanks to Hons recording the whole thing we get to hear how quick on their feet the boys were (not very) and now get this beast of a track too. Click the cover….

And how is the rest of the LP? Jesus fuck donkey shit!!! This thing will be huge! Oh but fuck you Trials and Drapht for ‘The Paul The Dan’ cause that shit is catchier than herpes. That hook is stuck on repeat. Youll all find out soon enough.

Pegz - “Deities of Def”

We knew he couldn’t stay away. When Pegz said he was gonna stop dropping solo material and concentrate on Obese, I started counting down the days to his Danny Green return to the ring. Shit was inevitable. This was a man who had laid his beliefs and convictions down on wax for around a decade. It was only a matter of time til he felt the need to pick up the mic again proper.

When Gully Platoon dropped you could already tell he was in the gym hitting the punching bag again. The verbal jabs were still heavy. The man still had shit to say.

And now he’s finally back in the ring solo with ‘Drama’.

A couple of spins in and ‘Drama’ is sounding huge. And it’s got everything. The production is absolutely knocking the headphones (Phazes drums are begging to smash the largest speakers I can find), Reason is on there doing a dangerously on point impersonation of a Triple M radio announcer, there is a reference to Tim Dog being a douchebag and to one of my favourite LP’s of all-time (Rodriguez ‘Cold Fact’ for the record). Oh yeah and Pegz lyrically laying suckas out.

It was hard to choose what first track to leak, but I decided on the “Deities of Def”. A somber M-Phazes track, a little left of centre with Pegz lyrically on point as ‘the champion pugilist’. Just listen (click the cover).

Ciecmate - “Where You From”

Damn. Another Ciecmate heater. This time Ciecers is sounding like he’s behind the wheel of a 1977 Monaro, fangin down Hoddle Street, some Hired Goons in the backseat loading shotguns getting ready to blast some pigs after just pulling a bankjob. It’s straight Blaxploitation flavoured business which Ciecmate rides with ease, taking punk ass, good for nothing rappers to task.

If Ciecmate is leading a mutiny on the good ship hip hop, I’m grabbing a fucking knife and shanking motherfuckers with him.
