2217 Mixtape by Children's City Dump I was just watching Part 1 of PUNK on EPIX , a new 4-part documentary series profiling a slew of early Punk/Hardcore bands, as well as the earliest aughts of the genre. PUNK Part 1 included segments focused on Iggy & The Stooges , MC5, New York Dolls , The Ramones, Blondie , Wayne/Jayne County & The Electric Chairs, PUNK Magazine , CBGB's, Hilly Kristal , and much, much more. One band of particular note were Garage Rock/Proto-Punk pioneers MC5 , who had a particularly gut-wrenching rise and fall before they ever really gained wide-spread success. Oddly enough, MC5 's politically-charged 1970 sophomore album, Back In The USA featured a song on Side B called "The Human Being Lawnmower;" this title, in particular, bears a striking resemblance to blood-curdling emcee Blastmaster Baker 's recent debut on we are the karma kids , Blastmaster Baker vs. The Human Being Lawn Mower . Now, I have yet to ask Blastmaste...

Blastmaster Baker vs the Human Being Lawnmower by we are the karma kids Nick Baker is a Bushwick -based emcee, producer, and Punk/Hardcore frontman for Children's City Dump (C.C.D.) Nick actively records and releases his own music as Blastmaster Baker FKA simply Baker . Baker has now joined forces with Lt Headtrip 's crew/label, we are the karma kids (WATKK ) to let loose his first proper full-length, Blastmaster Baker vs. The Human Being Lawnmower . It's the proper album-length follow-up to Blastmaster Baker 's self-released 2013 debut, BAKED . To be completely honest, I've heard Blastmaster Baker 's name mentioned around "Rap" Twitter and Punk/Hardcore circles for quite a few years now, although, this is the first time I've actually heard his music. Oddly enough, Blastmaster Baker & Lt Headtrip are both Ohio -born NYC transplants and it appears as though Headtrip has taken Baker "under his wing," so to say. From my per...

Digital Dankin Beats Volume 1 by Digitaldankin We first heard about Daniel Felicetti AKA Keenan Kilgore FKA Digitalfel/Fel last year when he joined forces with Lt Headtrip 's New York -based imprint, we are the karma kids for an 8-track remix compilation cleverly dubbed Keenan & Karma . Fel quietly cooked up an additional remix of "Word Art" from OLD SELF 's critically-acclaimed album, Word Art Gallery . Then, just a mere week and a half later, Keenan Kilgore returned with his own self-released and fully self-produced Instrumental Hip-Hop album, SEPTEMBER . Now, at the top of 2019, Daniel Felicetti has returned with yet another brand spankin' new release and yet another AKA: DigitalDankin 's DIGITALDANKIN BEATS VOLUME 1 . DigitalDankin is, of course, the collaborative production alias of Daniel Felicetti FKA DigitalFel & Abraham Dankin AKA Dominic "Dom" Primus ; although, Keenan & Dominic previously worked together as part...

"I'm Lt Headtrip , head of the Queens -based Indie Rap label, we are the karma kids . Also, a part of the Rap group, The Karma Kids .

Nowadays, we throw shows in NYC , book ourselves tours, make music videos, record, mix, help out fellow rappers, etc." reads a brief intro to Lt Headtrip directly from the deranged, often lyrically unhinged man himself.
