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

SPNDA – Al B Sure (Prod. by Rah Intelligence)

/

via – scopeurbanapparel.com   #DEAD. This #Lightskinned campaign is one of the funniest promos for an album since Durag Dynasty or Eminem hiring the Shamwow guy to cell his CD’s as coasters (if we do say so ourselves). Stay tuned for SPNDA x Rah Intelligence ‘Lightskinned’ coming soon… #CCR And go peep the @Hologram2Beardz instagram aka “The Lightskinned Hall of Fame” “Al B Sure” is the second release off the forthcoming ‘Lighstkinned’ project by Retrospek members SPNDA and Rah Intelligence. The video represents the culmination (but certainly not the end) of the #LightSkinned campaign to promote the new project, which initally took the form of a series of posts on instagram of promoninent lightskinned artists covers remade with SPNDA’s (and others) image, playing off the common misconception that all lightskinned guys look the same and all of the insults and stereotypes that are attached to that perception. Stay tuned for ‘Lightskinned’ dropping soon. http://thehologramwith2beardz.com @hologram2beardz http://coolcollective.net Artwork / Animation by Jacob Leidolf Edited by SPNDA

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

SPNDA – Scapegoat feat. Dua (prod. by Rah intelligence)

/

New #CCR! SPNDA (1/3 of Retrospek) approached his latest single “Scapegoat” with the mentality of stepping up at an open mic and getting some weight off his chest. “The first verse deals more with scapegoats in relationships and the second verse is more general about scapegoats in life.” The song is a departure from the distinctive sound of SPNDA’s last project “The Jeffrey,” a collaborative EP with fellow CCR member EvillDewer, who produced the entire project. “Scapegoat” is produced by Rah Intelligence (another 1/3 of Retro) and features vocals from fellow CCR collaborator Dua (also known as the frontman for Bad Rabbits). It is unclear where this song will end up but SPNDA “didn’t want to let the summer pass without giving you a lil’ something.” Links http://twitter.com/hologram2beardz http://thehologramwith2beardz.tumblr.com/ https://www.facebook.com/hologram2beardz http://yourube.com/spenda37 http://spnda.bandcamp.com/ https://soundcloud.com/spenda
