"[I'm] not sure there's ever been a Hip-Hop producer less Hip-Hop than me," Dan Hayden On Homeboy Sandman & Aesop Rock's Lice 2: Still Buggin' EP (Behind The Beat, Part 1)




"Aesop Rock & Homeboy Sandman are back together once more, to deliver a new strain of Lice to fans worldwide. People of Earth, we are proud to announce our new FREE EP—Lice 2: Still Buggin'—available for download NOW, via Rhymesayers Entertainment and Stones Throw Records... Now, go share Lice [2] with everyone you know," Homeboy Sandman & Aesop Rock wrote within a rather spur-of-the-moment joint statement to accompany their 2015 Lice EP follow-up, Lice 2: Still Buggin' yesterday morning; their latest "infestation" of Lice showcases production from the likes of Dan Hayden, Mondee, SoberMindedMusiC, Your Old Droog producer (El) RTNC, and Aesop Rock himself. Bristol-based producer Dan Hayden, who hand-crafted the beat for "Zilch," was recently profiled within Homeboy Sandman's inaugural self-penned Bandcamp Daily column titled, Big Ups: Homeboy Sandman Picks His Favorite Hip-Hop Artists. "Kid has mad range. Kid also has straight heaters. I would compare his production to... nobody comes to mind! I love that. I imagine that one would have to have an eclectic palette—much like myself—to truly appreciate what Dan Hayden is doing," Sandman ecstatically wrote; and now, seemingly even unbeknownst to Hayden, until yesterday morning's sudden unveiling, the sharp-tongued rapper and greenhorn producer have linked up for Lice 2: Still Buggin' EP's lead-off track.


"No problem. Actually, this was kind of a surprise—Homeboy Sandman is one of my real favourites and a couple of years or so ago, I sent him a link to a beat tape I'd made. Heard nothing back, but I persisted a bit and eventually, he messaged me back saying "OK cool, just send me your best two beats by email and I'll take a listen." So, I picked a couple and he was like, "oh yeah, both of these are butters." I'm British, so I didn't even know what that meant, but I took it as a positive...! So since then, I've just emailed him stuff as I've made it and this one on the [Lice 2: Still Buggin'] EP is one he'd picked up on ages ago and I guess has just had kicking around..." Dan Hayden wrote within a statement sent EXCLUSIVELY to The Witzard upon Still Buggin''s Thursday morning release. "So, I got an email from him a couple of months ago or something saying he was planning on recording to it with Aesop [Rock] and [if it] was it still available and so, I've been really excited about hearing it since then. [I'm] not sure there's ever been a Hip-Hop producer less Hip-Hop than me," Hayden continued. When asked if he and Homeboy Sandman (and even Aesop Rock, for good measure) were planning to record and release a full-length together, Dan Hayden responded, "no plans at the moment for anything further, although I hope to do more with him, obviously!"

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

3 Feet High & Rising: Band of Bearded Brothers Cellar Door Moon Crow Unleash Rollicking Single "Whistler" from Upcoming Blues Rock EP (Bandcamp, self-released)

Whistler by Cellar Door Moon Crow British Rock 2-piece band Cellar Door Moon Crow mysteriously found and Followed The Witzard (@SharpCheddar856) on Twitter a few months ago. Their Facebook About section simply lists a brief, yet fitting, mission statement: "Band ~ Beards ~ Brothers Goodwin brothers Phil & Tommy . Sheffield, UK " and their accompanying Biography section contains a similar refrain: "Band ^ Beards ^ Brothers," as well as their Bandcamp page. There really isn't much else to be known about twin brothers Phil & Tom Goodwin , aside from the fact that they make infectious, down and dirty Rock "N" Roll —all entirely written, recorded, produced, and mixed in-house by Cellar Door Moon Crow (CDMC) themselves. CDMC 's Bandcamp page often tags their musical output as " British Rock , Rock, Blues Rock , two-piece band, Sheffield " and I would best liken their sound to a stylistic mix between The Black Keys , Thir
