WUGAZI Single #2 - "Sweet Release"


"Release Your Delf" (Method Man) + "Sweet and Low"

The 2 basic ingredients of the "WUGAZI recipe" are equal parts Wu-Tang Clan and Fugazi - For all intensive purposes, 2 of the most influential artists in their respective genres of Hip-Hop/Punk. Amongst the first crop of bands I really got into as an angst-filled teenager, Fugazi and Wu-Tang have remained personal favourites over the years... My love and understanding of their music growing with age. Cecil Otter and Swiss Andy seem to have a similar appreciation for "The Godfathers" [of Hip-Hop/Punk]. Joining forces and dubbing themselves "WUGAZI," over the past year or so, the 2 managed to "cut up every imaginable Fugazi record and trying out every Wu-Tang a capella they could get their hands on." Look for the full project ("13 Chambers") TBR next Wed., July 13, 2011.


As I had previously speculated last week's [debut], it has been revealed along with Leak #2, that the masterminds behind WUGAZI are in fact, Cecil Otter and Swiss Andy; The pair originally met in their home city of Minneapolis, MN... Cecil is a member of Doomtree [collective] and an affiliate of Atmosphere, GAYNGS, and P.O.S. Active as both an MC and producer, Otter has contributed to 12 or so Doomtree-related releases and has released 2 solo projects (Rebel Yellow, False Hopes 7). He is currently working on a follow-up album, "Porcelain Revolver" and a collaborative project withfellow producer, Lazerbeak. There is little or no information available online concerning the whereabouts of Swiss Andy... As this was pulled from the WUGAZI Bio: "Swiss Andy is a musician & producer [who has contributed] to several bands including The Millionth Word, Field Guide, and The Swiss Army. He is currently working on a Remix of Rebel Yellow." #wugazi

"C.R.E.A.M." + "I'm So Tired"

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of...

Jet Planes, Islands, Tigers On a Gold Leash: Lorde - "Royals" (The Weeknd Remixo)

I think it's pretty safe to say that The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) comfortably teeters the fine line between glitched-out smooth New Age R&B and hard-hitting Hip-Hop ; while the same could arguably be said for 16-year-old New Zealand new-comer, Lorde . Her break-out single "Royals" 1/2 jokingly shouts out semi-common bravado-worthy shit like: diamonds, "gold teeth, Grey Goose ... Cadillacs, Cristal, Maybach ... jet planes, islands, [and] tigers on a gold leash." But now, the Lorde/Weeknd connection has been further solidified, as Tesfaye recently managed to conjure up and release his own "Royals" remix. My beautiful girlfriend said earlier, and I paraphrase, that it "makes her wanna dance lol and she could [likely] hear this remix in a future movie!" Following the wide-spread release of her first 2 EP's (Love Club & Tennis Court) , Universal Republic plans to unleash Lorde 's proper debut album, Pure Heroine between ...

Pop Artist & Surfer Chronicle Intriguing Ex-Pornstar In "SASHA GREY."

Seemingly made to co-exist as thought-provoking companion pieces... "LINDSAY LOHAN" directors Richard Phillips & Taylor Steele are back with their most recent Art Presentation, "SASHA GREY." The 90-second short film was shot in early May @ John Lautner Chemosphere House in Los Angeles, CA. Both striking flicks will be shown on a giant floating video screen [ "Commercial Break" ] @ Garage Center for Contemporary Culture in Venice, Italy (June 1-5). "Adult acting chops" aside, Sasha (23) seems very intelligent, captivating, free-spirited, business savvy, well-mannered, charming... and dare I say, "average." And I really think that's exactly what Phillips/Steele were trying to convey throughout the course of the piece; Grey's beauty, public draw, sheer likeability, and honesty will surely take her very far in future endeavors... Solidifying her [updated] image as a true "Pop Culture Figure." * Featured soundtra...
