CSOU45 001EP

Certain Sound Records and Montener the Menace release the first single from his highly anticipated second album Anyone Home? Montener has recruited Wounded Buffalo Beats on production duties who's looped a fantastically pitched vocal-sample over some hard, head nodding drums to set the scene for the wonderfully enlisted, all-star line-up to go berserk over. The world-renowned guests include -- Wordsworth, Rah Digga, Masta Ace & Fatlip as High Noon sees the gang of notorious outlaws trading smoking hot verses, swaggering into your local saloon, oozing with finesse as six-shooters still smolder in their holsters and their Stetsons pulled low. This is one of the best cross-Atlantic collaborations hip-hop has seen to date and is a fantastic choice for the initial lead single from the upcoming album. "High Noon" is accompanied by a fantastic Western influenced, animated video by the super-talented animator, Taylor Bowen. "The Struggle" is the second single taken from Anyone Home? . Once again Montener enlists a heavy ensemble of guests featuring Stones Throw alumni, Guilty Simpson, UKHH veteran, Micall Parknsun & Artifacts emcee, El Da Sensei. "The Struggle" sees the four emcees perform their vocal acrobatics in unrivalled style as their rhymes reverberate over a smooth, neck-snapping slab of vintage boom bap -- eerily reminiscent of the rich, classic sound of the mid-90s. JL Beats has created a timeless beat here with DJ JabbaThaKut providing the world- class cuts to round the track off in superb style.

CSOU 001EP
|
The first release from Certain Sound Records is a collaborative effort, the result being two stellar tracks from the dynamic duo: producer, DJ, and label owner Barry Manalog, with MC and all-round wordsmith Ash The Author. Side A, "Cloudriders", is a light and poetic number. The production oozes those jazz stylings reminiscent of that classic hip-hop vibe, something to nod your head to on a late night. Ash's lyrical content is hopeful, and dream filled, rising above the clouds like Superman with his Lois Lane. Smooth as butter, the production and vocals go together effortlessly. Side B, "Extraterrestrial", completely flips the script! Whilst side A had you riding through the clouds, side B completely blasts off and takes you out of this world. The production is gargantuan, heavy drums, haunting samples, it hits you like a slap in the face. Ash comes in on exactly the same tip, a relentless barrage of wordplay and punchlines. Venomous, but still with that slice of wit you'll love him for, Ash's hunger really comes through on this track. To top it off, there are some seriously ferocious cuts from veteran turntablist DJ Chud, from the legendary Steel Devils crew.
