Tachichi - "At The Top" (produced by Classified)

 

Born out of a catchy chorus that is both melodic and meaningful, and not just vapid pop, "At The Top" is a semi-autobiographical song about a regular working-class individual and their struggles to make it in the music industry. Just surviving, paying bills, and trying to find the funds to get an album done. But striving for greatness out of pocket guarantees trials and tribulations. Almost at the top of the mountain, but being rich and glamorous isn't necessarily the success they're striving for. Juno-winning producer Classified contributes a beat of bass-heavy drums and plentiful piano while Sipset teammate LXVNDR lays down the crucial chorus and a dope second verse.

LXVNDR & Tachichi - Found Money

Found Money is the new collaboration between looming luminary LXVNDR and longterm veteran Tachichi, both highlights of the Halifax hip hop scene. The album is an eclectic mix of sounds, including throwback boom bap, slow jams, horrorcore, club bangers, and even a touch of reggae, the production provided by longtime Tachichi collaborator Moves, newest Snowgoons member BoFaat, the legendary Buck 65, plus Kulya, Dirty Dane, DK the Producer, and Trobiz. It’s all held together by the confident delivery and bold braggadocio of the two emcees, touching on topics as diverse as getting high, women’s issues, politics, suckers, and an ode to their peoples. And speaking of peoples, LXVNDR and Tachichi bring along Jay’Mila, Paollo, Cee!!!!!!!!!, and Ghettosocks to share in the dope bars and flow flexing. Found Money is a hot, hit-heavy album that will reward repeat plays.

LXVNDR & Tachichi - Clap Cuz Ya Cold (single)

 

 

On the chorus of his new single with LXVNDR, Tachichi raps, “To the honeys in the back, make it clap cuz ya cold / this is for the g’z who ain’t breakin’ no codes.” And that about sums it up. “Clap Cuz Ya Cold” will have the honeys groovin’ and the heads of the true g’z nodding. Halifax producer Dirty Dane provides a smooth backdrop drenched in synth and skittering club-friendly drums that allows the two MCs to flex their flows. Lyrically it’s strictly braggadocio as LXVNDR opens with a modern, sing-song delivery that masterfully rides the beat before Tachichi jumps in with the high speed delivery he was well known for in his younger years, their verses bookended by a simple but silky chorus. Another ice cold composition blowing in from north of the border. Please clap.

LxVNDR x Tachichi - "One For The Smoke" (produce by BoFaatBeatz)

 

For their second single, LxVNDR and Tachichi team with German producer and newest member of Snowgoons, BoFaatBeatz, who provides a beat with heavy reggae influence thanks in large part to that thick bass groove and the vocal sample in the chorus. Tachichi, a rap vet rocking stages since the mid-90s as a young Little T, kicks off “One For The Smoke” bigging up the golden age of rap, knocking the modern styles, and broadly boasting, while relative newcomer LxVNDR styles on ‘em with big braggadocio, shit talk, and a sprinkling of knowledge. This one is for the hip hop heads. As Tachichi proclaims on the chorus, the vibe is out of control!

LxVNDR x Tachichi - Neck Breaker Boogie (single)

 

“We got the neck breaking, club shaking beat for this year,” proclaims Halifax rap vet Tachichi on the chorus for “Neck Breaker Boogie”, the first single from Found Money, his upcoming collaboration album with looming Maritime luminary LxVNDR. The beat in question is heavily focused on banging drums plus a couple of piano keys and some subtle sampled sounds, courtesy of the legendary Moves of Hip Club Groove and Len fame. Yeah, it’s a certified neck breaker. And LxVNDR and Tachichi use this club shaking beat to deliver vicious punchline braggadocio and battle raps. Or, according to LxVNDR, “We get on the mic, make ‘em taste the filth…” All that’s left to do is free your filthy mind and your ass will follow.
