Sticking to the classic recipe of 1 MC & 1 Producer/DJ, their latest
project shows that Dillon & Paten Locke are clearly at the top of their
game & the top of the ‘Food Chain’.
Their 2nd LP, ‘Food Chain’ is a musical menagerie of rap running
the gamut from grimy to gloomy to glorious. Paten Locke’s elusive
loops & dusty grooves lay the foundation for rapper, Dillon to bring
his ‘straight talk’ style of writing & delivery. No gimmicks, no punches
pulled. Just rugged beats & raw rhyming.
Carefully curated, the guest features salt & peppered throughout the
album make the meal complete. It’s an all-star cast consisting of
bonafide Rap legends (Black Sheep Dres, Count Bass D), modern
day Hiphop heroes (Homeboy Sandman, Von Pea) & emerging
eccentrics (Tone Tank, Willie Evans Jr).
Chock full of interludes, skits & nuggets of comedy, Food Chain is
a veritable rap buffet with a little something for everybody. So grab
a fork & a FULL PLATE and as Supa Dave West so artfully states,
‘Pour a bucket of gravy all over yourself and just feel that!’’
CD is a double CD (with 2 front covers) packaged with the
instrumentals.This will be the only way album instros will be available.
Also the CD & Cassette are the complete & unabridged version of
the album. Vinyl - abridged version (cutting out certain skits & a few
songs to give the vinyl maximum punch) also includes a vinyl-only
version of ‘Modern Man’s Waltz’ a special piano solo instrumental
version. |
