Sugar Cayne
New HipHop dopeness brought to you by the good folks of Mello Music Goup! This joint is called “Far” by The 1978ers and I’m loving it. I’m diggin the simple, pure, fun beat crafted by Slimkat78. yU always brings justice to Slimkat78’s beats, he always has something to say when he spits and i really appreciate that. I also love the vocal arrangement of the hook, really dope sounding and hypnotic. The visuals were nicely put together by Jay Brown. “Far” is featured on The 1978ers album “People Of Today”, If your longing to hear some real HipHop I suggest you go cop that album!
About “People Of Today”
Music is an exchange of ideas. This album is something for those exhausted with the shuck and jive of pop culture, who believe in the purification rituals offered by hard snares, funky drum kicks, soul-coughing bass, and deeply rooted vibrations.
Steadfastly infusing their songs with spirituality and positivity, yU and Slimkat are everymen with preternatural talent. Over the years, they’ve tirelessly built a rep in the DMV, collaborating on yU’s The Earn and Before Taxes, which OkayPlayer called “one of the best hip-hop albums released in the last few years.” In 2009, yU released In the Ruff as the philosophical heart of super-group Diamond District, a record hailed by MTV as “arguably the best hip-hop ever released in D.C.”
Slimkat supplies the beats that make the blood rush to your head. Named one of the best producers of 2010 by KevinNottingham.com, he’s dished countless production dimes to the likes of Muhsinah, Eric Roberson, Diamond District, and more.
The People of Today is a seamless and head-spinning record. It’s hard-boiled beats and raps laced with wisdom and virtue. The sort of record that you can sit with today and tomorrow, and any time you need to be reminded that we’re all in this together.
