SC to VT: Keenan Kilgore & Dom Primus Let Loose Beat Comp. DIGITALDANKIN BEATS VOLUME 1 (DigitalDankin "Winter Sessions")

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 of a short-lived unnamed group with emcee AG Noble Influenz. However, DigitalDankin's first unofficial release was a charismatic 2013 DatPiff mixtape entitled THE BLACK PETER PARKER... BECAUSE HE LOVES MARY JANE, which was credited to "The Dynamic Duo of Abraham Dankin & DigitalFel." Lo and behold, Track #11 from SEPTEMBER, "Eternity," was actually, co-produced by Dominic Primus, as it appears as though the original/abridged version stems from one of DigitalDankin's sessions. But, I digress... let's get back to DigitalDankin's latest long-form release!

DIGITALDANKIN BEATS VOLUME 1 stems back to Abraham Dankin & Daniel Felicetti's earliest chance meeting as valet drivers in Savannah, Georgia; over the years, Abe & Dan vowed to stay in touch, even after Daniel and his wife, Michelle, moved to Vermont or "bounced to The South," as DigitalDankin's Bandcamp page puts it. For the last three consecutive winters, Keenan Kilgore & Dom Primus have linked up for impromptu recording sessions, which have birthed several as-yet-unreleased DigitalDankin productions. Now, for whatever reasons, ahead of this year's annual winter session, Keenan & Dom have meticulously hand-selected 15 of their favorite collaborative pieces of production to form DigitalDankin's first proper release. "Both KK & Dankin relied on an organic and simple production process. These beats are dirty and musical. Thanks for listening," a brief statement posted on Keenan Kilgore's Bandcamp page details. BEATS VOLUME 1 boasts, in our "humble" opinion, at least, a spacey, Jazz-indebted almost cartoony sound reminiscent of Yasiin Bey FKA Mos Def's The Ecstatic, MADVILLAINY, DANGERDOOM's lone effort THE MOUSE & THE MASK, and even Jaylib's fabled Champion Sound. It also, channels a vaguely Electro/Hip-Hop-leaning sound reminiscent of Jamie xx's posthumous Gil Scott-Heron remix album, We're New Here. It appears as though, during one of Dom & Keenan's snow-capped beat-making sessions, some grainy footage was filmed, which has now, been turned into the first proper DigitalDankin music video for "Eastern Seaboard" from BEATS VOLUME 1.

[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

"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
