16. Time Doesn’t See The Last Museum
Early last year, though having been working on music for over 20 years, SaltChunkJerry released his first “real effort” in the Hip-Hop realm, a collab album with Washington D.C. emcee Rahiem Supreme: Dead Fingers Talk Rap. With some heavy underground features: Daniel Son, Anlejkhlejohn, al.divino, and Rahiem’s name carrying real weight: the algorithm went wild for a moment and by chance, Declaime got his ears on the work.
After hearing this album through, Declaime knew he heard production that was cutting it’s way into the future: “Funk Punk” “Fuzz Rap” he exclaimed!. He could hear himself getting down, and this means something; Declaime is known for plucking producers when they are about to pop; one of the first to work with Madlib, Oh No, Kankick, Knxwledge, Flying Lotus, etc.
Soon enough, the two were chattin’ shit on the phone, dreaming up the sorta thing they could get at together.
After a couple tracks, sounding even heavier than imagined, the two went to work, no limits, no goals, a lot of back and forth, SaltChunk flexing his rock influences, and Declaime referencing his love of rock, funk, rap, gospel, shit…everything!
There’s a real journey here, soft moments, hard moments, existential crises zone moments, neck breakin’ bangers, leg breakers, and then the features!: Declaime bringing members of his legendary West Coast crew along for the ride with verses from : Blu, M.E.D. and even Detroit favorite: Guilty Simpson. These days, hate to say it, you get a lot of releases, that are a bunch of tracks jammed together, this ain’t that: this is a real album, a journey you can ride along with.
“The album was originally called “The Last Museum”, we touch on a lot here, both really feeling the hard times we are in as individuals, but also as a species, the end seeming imminent feels.. We started making a museum for listeners to stroll through, touching on the end of many vibes.” -SaltChunkJerry
SaltChunkJerry’s production rocks hard, getting dark, eerie, riffy, this really is something different. Declaime went somewhere else for this album, to the land of “Black Fuzz”.”
Fair chance this is going to be called Declaime’s comeback album, showing all the years of super diverse work coming together in one place, and for SaltChunkJerry, if Declaime’s prophesying continues, perhaps the album putting him on the map.
The 16 Track Full Length album is being Released on Riff Pillage Records (Toronto) and Features Psychedelic hand drawn Artwork by: Martin A.B.-lo.Schreiner (Norway) and a Obistrip by Gilles WenWei (France).
