Onomatopoeia Exclusive Download: /ˈjedˌīak/ - ☦he Rubiks Crude EP

Its day three of our holiday bonanza week of exclusives leading up to Uncle Sam’s birthday and Wednesday is going to be the most focused of the lot. Clocking in at twenty minuteshe Rubiks Crude EP is a five song remix project dedicated to New York’s godfather of abstract Hip Hop, Mr. EL-P.

As a life-long super fan of Jamie’s work I know a lot of you find his one-two punch of off-kilter beat making and dense lyrical themes to be too hard to digest.  This EP is dedicated to all of YOU folks out there in the hopes you might get something new out of the work in this altered context that leads to a further exploration of more music that is both different and a challenge to the status quo; Or maybe you will hear something that will just make you shake your ass and bob your head, whatever works!  

Featuring music from Rihanna, Caribou, The Scissor Sisters, Josh Osho and Tommy Sparks.
