[defjux]

I made a post yesterday asking if anyone would be interested in a playlist of lesser known hip hop, essentially only artists that have under 50k monthly listeners. Over 5 people seemed to at least have a passing interest which was good enough for me, so here's the playlist. The playlist has over 80 different artists at the moment, 3 songs each. I'll add more as i think of/discover them but figured this is good enough for now. Let me know if you discover anything new from this, or who you would add. I'll put the full list of artists at the bottom of this post too. Peace.

Hemlock Ernst presents: Remains

Another new song for this brilliant project with Elucid of Armand Hammer

Romorrow Hemlock Ernst (Future Islands’ Samuel T. Herring) is sharing the second single called “Remains” from the upcoming Studying Absence LP with producer Icky Reels out 10/16 via Tygr Rawwk.

On the single, he taps Armand Hammer’s Elucid for a stellar guest spot on the track, which also features the dystopian production that is the backdrop for the full scope of the album. It’s a follow up to last month’s “Raised In the South." (check also here)

Other guests on the album include Fatboi Sharif, Egyptian Lover, and Beans from Antipop Consortium.

About the upcoming album of Studying Absence, via Tygr Rawwk Rcrds

Hemlock Ernst: This record came together because of a feature I did for the Beans album 'Venga'. I didn't know it at the time but the song, "Anti-Star System", and the album, were produced by Icky Reels. After we did the song and the record came out, Beans hit me back and said he thought I should do a full project with Icky. He thought that I really needed to challenge myself, that it would bring something out in me. Beans and his group Anti-Pop Consortium were and are heroes of mine. 'Tragic Epilogue' by APC is one of the most influential records in my life. To get that kind of attention and push from Beans was huge, but I didn't know how I felt about the idea at the time. I saw it as exactly that, a challenge. With Hemlock I tend to work over soul and jazz break type beats. Icky Reels' production was a far more industrial and acidic landscape. I knew this would be more of a cerebral process, breaking down the beats, challenging the rhythms, finding the voices. But I decided to accept the challenge.

Suffice to say, this is the most dense and challenging record I've been a part of making. I was able to go places with my voice I've never committed to tape. I am changing character and flow multiple times in some songs. And as far as the writing, in the beginning I didn't know if I could find the emotion in the machine of his sound, but his production actually made me dig deeper. Icky's music pushed me to uncover stories and memories that I hadn't thought about for decades. Made me question myself and look at my whole life splayed out in front of me. I'm talking about things I've never talked about and that's a great feeling to break new ground at 40, with two decades of work behind me. Some of my favorite lines I've ever written are included in this record. And that's an amazing feeling as an artist, digging in and finding the treasure of the self so you can give it to everyone else. Icky Reels: Absence is where we go to study ourselves Oblong antennae pressed against living dirt and glass Rippled pink with the howling amplified Outside before beckoned in, existing under the torn umbrella Blinks two times and cranes across the mirrored surface

Hemlock Ernst is Samuel T. Herring. Born and raised in rural North Carolina, he has spent the last 25 years questioning the human experience through the intimate dissection of his own life. On the page, stage, record and road—he is still looking. Icky Reels is a songwriter/producer that grew up in Cleveland but now resides elsewhere, under a catalpa tree with his family, cats, and records.
