It's been just over a month since Has-Lo released his debut album "In Case I Don't Make It". The Philly MC/Producer has proven his ability to create an album that can be enjoyed from beginning to end, garnering support from critical tastemakers such as Chairman Mao at XXL, LA Weekly, eMusic, RCRDLBL, Okayplayer, Bloggerhouse, DJ Booth, Kevin Nottingham and many others. Now Has-Lo is offering up the final single "Forgotten Styles" for listeners while he continues work on a couple of upcoming videos and an impressive remix vision of the album entitled "Conversation B."
On Forgotten Styles, Has-Lo vocally stomps out the beat and leaves a giant shoe print as the new face in rap music. His verses are relaxed and crisp, floating quickly overtop the up-tempo beat (which was produced by Has-Lo himself). A point often overlooked is Has-Lo's strength as a producer and his ability to create musical landscapes that fit his own particular vocal style and patterns. "Forgotten Styles" showcases this point as the beat allows Has-Lo to flow effortlessly, dropping verbal gems while noting his production & proclaiming "I can pioneer your hit like I'm Rick Rubin, Has-Lo's on production."
Video: Scheme & DJ Scend - "Two Turntables and a Mic"
This is a straight to the point concept. Dope beats, a mic, and two turntables. Scheme and DJ Scend wanted to show respect to the great artists that have inspired them through out the years and wanted to bring to the forefront the DJ and the MC. They want to keep this series as raw and straight forward as possible. No gimmicks. Just rhymes and beats.
Expect the videos to drop, followed by the audio track and artwork the following week beginning May 3rd.
This will be going on for many many weeks to come. Presented by Molemen Records x SRNC x RubyHornet.com
