RJD2 Presents “We Come Alive” Featuring Son Little, New Single Off Dame Fortune, out March 25Th on RJ’S Electrical Connections March 2, 2016 For Immediate Release RJD2 Presents “We Come Alive” Featuring Son Little, New Single Off Dame Fortune, out March 25th on RJ’s Electrical Connections https://soundcloud.com/officialrjd2/06-we-come-alivefeaturing-son-little/s-q00mh (RJD2 image by Nick Fancher) Dame Fortune, the sixth studio album by veteran producer and cratedigger extraordinaire RJD2, is streaked with Philadelphia’s reputation for deeply felt soul music while maintaining a playful sense of adventurousness. No song better represents this than the album’s slinky centerpiece, “We Come Alive” featuring Son Little (aka Aaron Livingston). Working together in various entities, most recently the duo’s Icebird project, the producer and guest vocalist have a creative connection easily recognized by the strength of this standout single. As described by RJ, “Our musical tastes are very similar—he can go from Black Sabbath to Dennis Brown and not miss a beat. We work very well together." Dame Fortune was recorded over the past year while living in Philadelphia before RJD2 moved back to his hometown of Columbus, Ohio. In addition to Son Little, the thought-provoking, yet deliciously entertaining album features guest vocals by Jordan Brown, Blueprint and frequent collaborator Phonte, while also presenting the bombastic hip-hop sound that marked RJD2's breakthrough album, Deadringer, and even an orchestral composition for the societal unrest experienced in this day and age. Dame Fortune is out March 25th on RJ’s Electrical Connections. iTunes pre-orders come with instant grat downloads of “Peace of What,” “The Sheboygan Left,” and “We Come Alive” featuring Son Little. Listen to RJD2’s “We Come Alive” Featuring Son Little – https://soundcloud.com/officialrjd2/06-we-come-alivefeaturing-son-little/s-q00mh “Peace of What” -- https://soundcloud.com/officialrjd2/peace-of-what/ “The Sheboygan Left” -- https://soundcloud.com/officialrjd2/04-the-sheboygan-left-1 “''We Come Alive’ features Livingston in his Son Little persona, balancing softly haunting soul vocals with D2’s cracking drums in a mix that feels–perhaps appropriately–like a daydream in the midst of a riot.” — Okayplayer “an audible odyssey fans soon won't forget.” — Complex “The mostly instrumental cut opens with a funky, guttural groove that builds to a angelic chorus of synth stabs, wordless vocals and a subtle, twinkling guitar line. After the song temporarily tapers off, guitars returns to guide another instrumental rise, which bursts again with exuberant exaltation.” — Rolling Stone on “The Sheboygan Left” “The cut is bursting with positive vibes, first via a friendly, early '70s-style roll of Rhodes organs and locked-grooved beats. Making it even sunnier are a big blast of brass, a chorus of doo wop ‘ahhhs’ and a busy blitz of typewriter clack electronics.” — Exclaim on “The Sheboygan Left” “‘Peace Of What’ is rich with a big, full band of strings and horns and singer Jordan Brown’s evocative verses about the modern-day state of the world.” — SPIN “[’The Sheboygan Left’] begins with big drums and a whomping bassline before opening up into synth sweeps, big band horns, and vocal wails. A percussive breakdown then comes in about halfway through with wildly weird cosmic synths before chicken grease guitar careens through the ozone with huge crashing cymbals. Dame Fortune is shaping up to be a very funky ride.” — Stereogum RJD2 TOUR DATES: Sun. March 18 – Austin, TX @ The Blackheart Bar Fri. March 18 - Lancaster, PA @ Chameleon Club Fri.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repository@Napier An autoethnography of Scottish hip-hop: identity, locality, outsiderdom and social commentary Dave Hook A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Edinburgh Napier University, for the award of Doctor of Philosophy June 2018 Declaration This critical appraisal is the result of my own work and includes nothing that is the outcome of work done in collaboration except where specifically indicated in the text. It has not been previously submitted, in part or whole, to any university or institution for any degree, diploma, or other qualification. Signed:_________________________________________________________ Date:______5th June 2018 ________________________________________ Dave Hook BA PGCert FHEA Edinburgh i Abstract The published works that form the basis of this PhD are a selection of hip-hop songs written over a period of six years between 2010 and 2015. The lyrics for these pieces are all written by the author and performed with hip-hop group Stanley Odd. The songs have been recorded and commercially released by a number of independent record labels (Circular Records, Handsome Tramp Records and A Modern Way Recordings) with worldwide digital distribution licensed to Fine Tunes, and physical sales through Proper Music Distribution. Considering the poetics of Scottish hip-hop, the accompanying critical reflection is an autoethnographic study, focused on rap lyricism, identity and performance. The significance of the writing lies in how the pieces collectively explore notions of identity, ‘outsiderdom’, politics and society in a Scottish context. Further to this, the pieces are noteworthy in their interpretation of US hip-hop frameworks and structures, adapted and reworked through Scottish culture, dialect and perspective.

  • Dokkedal/Dixen Och Dj Bang Bang Club
    Uppsala 29.09.2010 Pressmeddelande RJD2 Uppsala Konsert & Kongress Onsdag 6 oktober, 20.00 Sal B Support: Dokkedal/Dixen och Dj Bang Bang Club Med en mix av hiphop, soul och pop är RJD2 nu större än någonsin. Ett bra tecken är att en av hans låtar används som signatur i den enormt populära tv-serien Mad Men. Onsdag 6 oktober kommer han till Uppsala. Ramble John ”RJ” Krohn startade sin lysande karriär hemma i Ohio, USA. Han lånade ett par skivspelare av en kompis och började sin bana som DJ. Med en mix av hiphop, soul och pop är han nu större än någonsin. Ett bra tecken är att en av hans låtar används som signatur i den enormt populära tv-serien Mad Men. RJD2 säger att en av hans vänner använde RJD2 om honom i sina raplåtar, sedan dess har namnet blivit kvar. Hans första album Deadringer togs emot med jubel av både publiken och branschen. Och det ledde till ett samarbete med rapparen Blueprint som de kallade Soul Position. Det följdes upp av ytterligare två album unlimited EP och 8 million Stories innan han kom med sitt andra soloalbum, Since We Last Spoke, på bolaget Definitive Jux. Sedan dess har han samarbetat med och producerat en mängd rapartister, Copywrite, Cunninlynguists, Cage, MF DOOM, Diverse och Aceyalone, för att ta några. Under 2007 släppte han soloalbumet The Third Hand. RJD2 är en kultartist i skateboardvärlden och skateboardfilmkretsar där hans musik ofta används i filmmontage. Förra året startade han sin egen skivlabel RJ’s Electrical Connections och har återutgett plattor som Your Face Or Your Knee Caps, The Horror, och Since We Last Spoke och en box som han valt att helt enkelt kalla 2002-2010.

  • Lushlife Ritualize About This Record
    LUSHLIFE RITUALIZE ABOUT THIS RECORD "Peace to Roky Erickson / Peace to Bo Derek / So lost in the television / Walk with the elephants / To die by their relatives / Lushlife holy ghost / Float through the tenements / Back to irrelevance" From the moment you hear the bristling boom-bap chorus on album-opener "Totally Mutual Feeling," it's apparent that Lushlife's third full-length finds the Philadelphia rapper-producer at his most introspective. Themes of isolation and mortality permeate Ritualize, a cinematic hour-long odyssey co-produced by TRACK LIST enigmatic production trio, CSLSX (pronounced "Casual Sex") and featuring contributions from Ariel Pink, Killer Mike, Freeway, Marissa Nadler, RJD2, and 01 Total Mutual Feeling 4:00 more. With CSLSX at the boards, an entire universe opens up for Lush, where 02 The Waking World ft.
