'i's & SaIGO Re-emerge with Jazz Williams' Apart. EP & Mugwampers' Lime Green Tape Ahead of 717: Part III EP (Mugwampers self-released)



"This tape was made in the span of three days, an impulse to create without over-thinking. "Marcel Duchamp do it how'a wan' it,'" reads the description attached to Mugwampers' latest Bandcamp release, Lime Green Tape. Mugwampers is, of course, a Livingston, Scotland-based Hip-Hop crew consisting of emcees/producers Chris 'i's McCormick & Aaron "SaIGO" Bonnar. In addition to 'i's & SaIGO, McCormick & Bonnar's oft-used recording aliases include Jazz Williams, MoonSnakes, Adder, and my personal favorite, Sebastian Thy Third Baller. Mugwampers have collectively recorded and released music with Hemlock Ernst (Future Islands' Sam Herring,) S.al AKA Safari Al, Emmanuel Coto, WC TANK, cunabear, Uncommon Nasa, billy woods, and Lungmouth, as well as video director and frequent collaborator Joe Eaton. Following the release of their 717: Part II EP this past August, Mugwampers have quietly released a series of non-album/EP Soundcloud-only singles "Inside Britney," Jazz Williams' ".ride out," "Perpetual Burn," "Loner," and "Sh.." which, it appears as though, will soon be collected and properly re-released on a FREE downloadable full-length project later this year.


Now, 'i's & SaIGO have returned with their first proper release(s) of 2019: Jazz Williams' debut "solo" project, Apart. EP, and Mugwampers' aforementioned Lime Green Tape. Both Lime Green Tape and Apart. EP were recorded over a mere number of days in a largely free-associative, stream-of-consciousness freestyle manner. Jazz Williams' Apart. EP showcases production work from Mugwampers ('i's & SaIGO,) 'i's himself, and BearTooth Collective affiliate Unsung, as well as a feature from Aura & Kablo on opener "Anxiety." Mugwampers' Lime Green Tape, on the other hand, was fully produced by 'i's end-to-end with ferocious rhymes throughout from SaIGO, "feature" vocals from Jazz Williams, and additional vocals from Mac-Be on "P.S." Both the Apart. EP & Lime Green Tape are currently available to stream or download on Mugwampers' Bandcamp page on a special Name-Your-Price basis. Next up for 'i's & SaIGO will be their aforementioned FREE Soundcloud-only singles collection, as well as the final installment in Mugwampers' genre-eschewing 717 series, 717: Part III EP.

[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

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll .
