Gold Plates – SPNDA x Rah Intelligence / ‘Light Skinned’ Listening Party

[Via Scope Music] If you’ve been keeping up you know the homies SPNDA and Rah Intelligence have been working on a collaborative album called ‘Ligh Skinned’ – reflections on the complexion and experiences they share. Building up to the project, the two are releasing an EP called ‘Cornrows + Babyhairs’ and the first single from that is “Gold Plates” which was premiered by HipHopDX. “Gold Plates”, the first single off ‘Cornrows + Babyhairs’ highlights both SPNDA and Rah Intelligence’s range as artists stepping out of the boom bap aesthetic people have come to expect from the two. “The EP itself is made up of songs that did not make the cut to the album and I felt like we should share them with people anyway” SPNDA says of the project, a prelude to the duos forthcoming album: ‘Light Skinned’.

ScopeMusic :: Rah Intelligence – Swaghili

[Via Scope Music] #CCRMG and #ScopeMusic presents ‘Swaghili’ by Rah Intelligence. Do you speak it? Swaghili by Rah Intelligence Roxbury Producer Rah Intelligence Releases Instrumental Project ‘Swaghili’ Cool Collective Reps architect Rah Intelligence’s first solo offering ‘Swaghili’ is a departure from his catalog of projects with group-mates Retrospek and frequent collaborators Catch Wreck, Overtime Often (and others) in several ways. A fully instrumental project, the music stands without vocals, showcasing the producers range and sound. Conceptually, the project was a true spur of the moment creation, drawing together from disparate influences and instigations. Rah explains: “I just had mad beats – my homie SPNDA (who I just did the ‘Lightskinned’ project with)  we were joking, about the yeezus album, and that line “uh, I be speakin speaking Swaghili!” the line struck  and I just wanted to build a project around that – spur of the moment creation. – The pieces were already coming together and the title was the last piece – it was just perfect timing in the universe. … Swaghili is available for streaming via SoundCloud and Purchase via BandCamp. https://soundcloud.com/rahintelligence http://twitter.com/rahintelligence http://therahintelligence.tumblr.com http://originalretrospek.com http://coolcollective.net http://scopeurbanapparel.com

[Via Scope Music] Catch Wreck’s latest release “Cathairs,” is the first single off his of upcoming ‘The Young and The Restless Part II’ mixtape. Attempting to describe his likes and dislikes in under 2 minutes, “Cathairs” at times feels more like a speed dating round than a rap song. This open conversation with Wreck over jazzy tunes courtesy of Bookworm from the Russian-based collective, Lab Coat offers a glimpse at the eclectic, unapologetically lyrical project Catch is cooking up.

Catch Wreck x Rah Intelligence – 4 the People

[Via Scope Music] Originally concieved and recorded in 2012, ‘4 the People‘ was put on hold after a failed attempt to raise money for the project on Kickstarter. The 4 track EP by Roxbury Natives, Catch Wreck and Producer Rah Intelligence, also features an appearance from Boston’s up-and-coming Cassius the 5th. Catch Wreck keeps it raw and classic with his approach, addressing societal issues over expectedly ill boom bap beats from Rah Intelligence. The project is now available digitally from catchwreckmusic.com. “Even though we missed the mark on the Kickstarter campaign, we wanted this music to get out to the people the way we intended. Its hard to tell how old these songs are because everything we’re talking about on the project is still relevant.”   Download http://catchwreck.bandcamp.com/album/4-the-people
