A message from Spawn Zero....

“THE FOOL”

Falling Out Of Love

I started making this EP at the start of the year because I had album(s) fatigue. I made “Novelty” just after Christmas and loved the vibe and wanted to keep it going. I’ve always wanted to make a Lofi project so I thought this was the best place to start.

I was looking through thousands of Lofi beats and tasked myself to write to the ones I liked the most. What started as a writing exercise ended up turning into something I’m extremely proud of which is rare for me. I haven’t opened up as much as I have in these 5 songs and I feel like they are a true representation of how I feel NOW. Albums can take years to make so when you finally release it, it feels like people are getting an old version of you.

As I said before, I found many of the beats on Youtube and I tried to purchase leases for them but they’re on labels and the artists probably didn’t intend to make them for someone rap on.

I hope you enjoy the EP. I’m very proud of it.

Dedicated to my Gran Catherine Kerr 🌹

Wurrd Jenkins: Oh The Horrah!

 

"Oh The Horrah" is a chaotic clash of broken break-beats, growling bass-lines stabby pianos, screeching synths and the razor sharp molasses flow of Wurrd Jenkins.

The EP contains 2 additional remixes of the original, the first by Edinburgh based Electronic Artist
Edward Spark who's take on the track adds funky electronics with clean break-beats and a feature verse from California's Emceebrownbear who adds in a new verse in the middle, his smooth buttery flow adds an additional element to the track not out of place being sandwiched between 2 verses of the hard style Scots of Wurrd Jenkins.

The 2nd remix featured is by Toatie Made It (www.beatstars.com/toatiemadeit/), who's approach to the track takes a more modern rap/grime approach with shuffling strings and rolling snare drums, capturing a claustrophobic atmosphere that truly resonated "the horrah" vibe of the track.

Rap Academics by Solareye

Taking the lyrics, ‘Kids rock Akademiks but they’re not academic’, from Jehst’s England, (2011) as a jump-off, this song is a ra/p/aper, demonstrating and arguing that hip-hop practice is hip-hop studies. Aiming to build on AD Carson’s artist-research in the form of mixtap/e/ssays (Carson, 2020), the track asserts that rap is research, art is scholarship, rather than research being a process that has to happen after creative practice. Through this process, issues are raised and explored regarding cultural legitimacy, hip-hop culture vs academic culture, and access to cultural spaces, through the creative output itself.

Artist Spotlight: Exxxhumed

 

David McNeill (born March 8, 1993), known professionally as EXXXHUMED, is a Scottish rapper, songwriter, and producer. EXXXHUMED has, as well as Scottish heritage, Irish and Spanish ancestry in his blood. He was raised by his stepfather, Paul McNeill, and his mother, Christine, both in and around Glasgow where he grew up with early music influences from the likes of Michael Jackson, Slipknot, The Cure, Johnny Cash, Tupac and Deftones. 

 These early influences gave David a taste for emotionally honest and sincere music, this would lead him into further musical influences from heavy metal, hardcore punk and alternative hip-hop/grime, as a true melting pot of music drove him to spark his own musical career.

 After floating in and out of metal bands as a teenager (2009-2012) and dabbling in Dark Ambient, Electronica and Dubstep in early 2010, David had finally found a foothold in a dark hip-hop style that was drenched in brutal honesty and sincerity under the stage name EXXXHUMED in early 2018.

Conscious Route & True Note: Lost Routes [Flip Tape]

 Conscious Route is a rapper, MC, poet and singer-songwriter who was born in London before moving to Edinburgh over a decade ago. 

 In 2020 he unleashed the collaborative - ‘Lost Routes’ album, alongside producer True Note which went on to receive a 4-star review in The Scotsman upon its release. In addition to this - two of his more recent releases ‘Trojan’ and his feature on ‘Dragons Jaw’ by ‘Post Coal Prom Queen’ were named track of the week on BBC Introducing Scotland. Sensory EP - a collaboration with producer Toni Smoke – also saw 2 tracks receive worldwide airplay on Rapstation 365 – Radio station of legendary Chuck D as well before releasing the Protest EP at the beginning of October.

 Now on the 1st anniversary of its release, Conscious Route revisits the critically acclaimed Lost Routes album by adding stylistic changes with contributions from some of the scene's most highly regarded producers. Forest DLG, Toni Smoke, Konchis, Jamie Bostron and Monosapiens provide refreshing takes, as well as further contributions from Scottish rising producers Vagrant Real Estate, Scott Bathgate, Crink, Rapper/Producer Mackenzie and Canadian counterpart Vigilante Underground.

 

 These newly remixed and re-worked versions presented on Flip Tape draw from a variety of influences and styles from laid-back ambient production (Fields of Hope), haunting Lo-Fi (Awakening) through to high-octane drum and bass (Everything Test) adding fresh perspectives to already enjoyable tracks.

 

Flip Tape is a fantastic re-working of Conscious Route & True Notes critically acclaimed 'Lost Routes' album - adding further diversity to his sound and continuously expanding body of work which he looks to further add to throughout 2021 and beyond…
