"Rolled Gold's Healthy A$$ Breakfast" Beat Tape Features Emcees O.H.M. Visto, Uncle Crimson, Reef The Lost Cauze & KAANG (self-released)



Rolled Gold's Healthy A$$ Breakfast is the latest release from Philly's finest producer, multi-instrumentalist, and beat-maker Harry Metz AKA Rolled Gold. It's equal parts salty and sweet and although, it's a concise one-track beat tape with "a quick 8-minutes of #flysh*t," Metz delivers an everything pretzel-esque blend of Old School Hip-Hop, Boom-Bap, Trap, 808 drum fills, and Soulful R&B. Stylistically, falling somewhere in-between an instrumental EP and a re-mixtape/blends album, Rolled Gold's Healthy A$$ Breakfast consists of 100% original material made up of assorted song scraps, unfinished takes, left-over, acapellas, remix snippets, etc; "each beat is made from live recordings of instruments played by Rolled Gold's friends, family, and himself, of course, and they all run into the next in a cohesive, somewhat "day in the life" [field recordings] manner," an emailed press release further specifies. Rolled Gold's Healthy A$$ Breakfast includes features from—in order of appearance—O.H.M. (@rapperOHM,) Visto (@MrVisto,) Uncle Crimson (@UncleCrim,) Reef The Lost Cauze (@LostCauze) & KAANG (@KaangGrooviin,) as well as The Nite Owls, his own Soul, Jazz & Soundtrack Music duo.


Rolled Gold and friends, essentially, created original Soul/Funk/Jazz/Hip-Hop instrumentals with the intent to sample themselves. Harry Metz, then, took unused acapellas from the aforementioned emcees and singers, Chopped & Screwed their acapellas, flipped his own instrumentalist samples, and meticulously sequenced said samples into one continuous 8-minute beat tape/original mix. For the remainder of 2018, Rolled Gold plans to serve up a few more scrumptious beat tapes, including lunch, dinner, and (maybe even?) dessert-themed EP's. For fans of Madlib, The Alchemist, Adrian Younge & Venice Dawn, J Dilla, and noname & Smino-affiliated producer Cam O'bi, Rolled Gold's Healthy A$$ Breakfast is now available to stream or purchase from Rolled Gold's treat-laden Bandcamp page. Rolled Gold's next release will likely, be his Career Crooks "Clock's Ticking" Remix created along with fellow Philadelphian Wino Willy, to be featured on Zilla Rocca & Small Professor's Thieving As Long As I'm Breathing remix album coming to Toronto-based imprint URBNET this upcoming June 13-14th.

"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

[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

Liberty Bell Cracked In 1/2: Ween - "Freedom of '76" (Gene Ween's Final Send-Off)

Chocolate & Cheese (1994) was one of the first albums I bought with my own money. I was in some sort of BMG Music Club , where you'd buy 5 CD's and then get 10 for "FREE." It was all sent through mail order and you picked the titles from some special booklet. I'm almost positive that Chocolate & Cheese's side boob-baring album cover was what initially drew me in... mind you, I was 12-15 and the zany Ween logo/middle finger CD graphic really didn't hurt either. Honestly, I forget how I really felt about it @ the time, but a few years later, my older cousin Josh told me that Ween were this BIG college "jam band." CKY did some sort pf 93.3 radio takeover to promote their new album and played "Freedom of '76" late that night on air. Needless to say, I re-visited Chocolate & Cheese @ about 20-something this go 'round and I fucking loved it! Ween were really weird, yet talented... almost too talented. I can vaguel
