EMBLEMS by Lt Headtrip X Bloodmoney Perez

 

Rapper Lt Headtrip teams up with producer Bloodmoney Perez for their ode to underground hip hop, EMBLEMS. A psychedelic journey through confrontation and escape, EMBLEMS delivers a wide range of moods in the 30-minute LP, from compelling dissent to contemplative grooves. Headtrip pays homage to art rap traditions atop Bloodmoney’s dynamic production tempers with classic hip hop sentiments including anti-conformity, visceral storytelling, and ascension. Bloodmoney’s industrial crate-digger loops radiate with instrumental flourishes from a slew of musicians, adding to the approachable complexity of the album. Boasting features from SKECH185, OLD SELF, Samurai Banana and Googie, and more, EMBLEMS is a finely curated collaborative project. Known for his intensity on a mic and a pen, Headtrip addresses cultural appropriation, harrowing personal tribulations and hopelessness, leaving room for meditative levity and exploration. EMBLEMS will be available on Bandcamp August 30th digitally and physically in a limited edition high fidelity cassette tape.

Steinway Deluxe by Lt Headtrip

 

This album is a celebration, an overdue ode to a time and space where the Karma Kids experimented, grew, and strived. The revolving door of Headtrip's studio and home, 25-88 Steinway, Karmastoria, saw countless artists in its fruitful six years. Duncecap, Samurai Banana, Googie, and Gruff Lion all called it home, and many others sought refuge, found a bed, or endured Trip's relentless ramblings and generous imbibing in NYC's bustling hookah bar district, Little Egypt.

Produced entirely by Headtrip, Steinway offers a final glimpse into this legendary collaborative space with over a dozen features. Trip's heavy, pounding drums and bold, sometimes mischievous samples lay an intense foundation for each vocalist to express their unique personalities, all tied together with haunting electric organ and driving bass guitar.

The walls of the Steinway were covered with artwork, the water ran dangerously hot and the cups overflowed, just as this collage of provocative styles enraptures its listeners while leaving plenty of room for playfulness and levity. Cheers to breaking day one last time, ashtrays full, minds swimming with creativity and hearts full of companionship. Remember, the deli is open 24/7 for those who want to keep going.
