Listen: 60 East-My Hometown Album Stream

Rapper 60 East's My Hometown album is out. The Ontario, California native with the East Coast-inspired flow has been toiling on the hip-hop underground for over a decade. He is also the founder of the Happiness Of Pursuit Festival of hip-hop which is now in its fifth year. At the end of  2023, he released the Krate Killers EP. On My Hometown, he reveals his journey as an independent artist, fatherhood, and a love of his birthplace. Khrysis, Eric G., and Sndtrak, all from 9th Wonder's Style Council production crew supply MH with boom-bap beats that are cinematic and soulful.  Sa-Roc, Blu, and DJ Rhettmatic are a few of the guests who show up on the album. 60 East's '90s hip-hop influence is heard in his Notorious B.I.G.-type cadences most evident on songs like "Freeway" and "What's My Name." The emulation ends there and 60 East chucks the misogyny, guns, and streetlife tropes. "Soul Fly" featuring Blu, Sa-Roc, and Stephanie Soul has the patina of Sylvia Striplin's woozy '80s R&B. The strings and neat tom-toms make good on creating a cozy posse cut. "Out The Inland" featuring Oktane, Trizz, and Sly has a similar undisturbed vibe led by a Flamenco guitar strum and harp that holds their verses together. 60  East's My Hometown represents some of the best elements of the Golden Era with a stellar crew.

Originally published in 1960.

"It is rather that even a theoretical knowledge of other cultures helps up to understand our own, because we can attain some clarity and objectivity about our own social institutions by comparing them with others."

"When a psychiatrist asked a Zen master how he dealt with neurotic people he replied, 'I trap them!' 'And just how do you trap them?' 'I get them where they can't ask any more questions!'"

"The individual no more acts upon the world than the world upon the individual. The cause and effect turn out to be integral parts of the same event."

"Would it really do to find out that our game is not serious, that enemies are friends, and that the good thrives on the evil? Society as we know it seems to be a tacit conspiracy to keep this hushed up for fear that the contest will otherwise cease. ... Imagine how the Christian conscience would react to the idea that, behind the scenes, God and the Devil were the closest friends but had taken opposite sides in order to stage a great cosmic game."

"Opposites and differences have something between them, like the two faces of a coin; they do not meet as total strangers. When this relativity of things is seen very strongly, its appropriate affect is love rather than hate or fear."

"...in Buddhism liberation is called awakening (bodhi) just because it is release from social hypnosis."

"The philosophy of wu-wei or noninterference implies ... that people must accept themselves as they are. This will disturb the social order far less than splitting themselves apart to strive after impossible ideals."

"It is, however, possible to see that his comparative [societal] 'rat race' need not be taken seriously, or rather, that if we are to persist in it at all it must not be taken seriously unless 'nervous breakdowns' are to become as common as colds."

"The difficulty of Zen is the almost overwhelming problem of getting anyone to see that life-and-death is not a problem."

"The disturbed individual is not so much the historical throwback in whom sufficient ego strength somehow failed to develop; he is the victim of too much ego, too much individual isolation."

"The Eastern ways direct their students to 'look within,' to find out the self, only to dispel the illusion that it is inside as distinct from outside."

"Not caring is the parody of serenity, just as worrying is the parody of concern."

"This is the loneliness of liberation, of no longer finding security by taking sides with the crowd, of no longer believing that the rules of the game are the laws of nature. It is thus that transcending the ego leads to great individuality."

"But to say, 'You must be spontaneous' is the flat contradiction at the root of every double-bind."

"At this point the patient simply stops pretending. He does not learn to 'be himself' as if that were something which one can do; he learns rather that there is nothing he can do not to be himself. But this is just another way of saying that he has ceased to identify himself with his ego, with the image of himself which society has forced upon him."

"The ways of liberation make it very clear that life is not going anywhere, because it is already there. In other words, it is playing, and those who do not play with it have simply missed the point."
