{"product_id":"so-crates-malcolm-after-mecca","title":"So.Crates- Malcolm After Mecca (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eMelbourne's much loved underground hip-hop dup return with an enormous double LP offering, stacked with features from the finest Australian talent including Tiana Khasi, Krown, Izy, Nelson Dialect \u0026amp; more. \r\n\r\nAustralian hip-hop\/neo soul duo SO. Crates are a boom-bap prayer sent live and direct from the heart of two of the culture's most committed students. \r\n\r\nThe group features Melbourne based beatmaker and DJ Skomes alongside California-via-Adelaide MC \u0026amp; poet Cazeaux O. S. L. O, not to mention the MUSE, a forever changing third party who completes the creative trinity of the Crates. \r\n\r\nWith a legacy built on releasing a steady flow of cold-crush records and delivering uplifting live performances to the party people, SO. Crates prove that hip-hop's golden era is not a lost date in time, but a foundational state of mind. \r\n\r\nFunctioning as a considered preview of what to expect from the album to follow, the hypnotic first release 'Stars' is an auditory exploration of what happens when two opposing charges collide; the joyful and the melancholy. Here, layers of instrumentation, samples and vocals sit atop a foundation of grounding beats - the track's roots from which piano samples, live trumpet and vocal embellishments spring. \r\n\r\n\"When Skomes gets in his stride, it's always a bit of a happy\/sad feeling. It can go either way, like a mood ring,\" says Cazeaux O. S. L. O. \"I guess you could say we make mood ring beats, and 'Stars' is no exception. \"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntruh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 7th Day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Loan-Sum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Beaut-I-Full World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Existential Lessons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Stars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Full Moon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sazon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e S.F Holiday\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Black Bond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mercy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Us\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hold on (To the Fallen Ones)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fresh Gold Bloom-Age\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The 2 (4 Moses)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Curtis on the Hiss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Price of Forgiveness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Bedroom Suck Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45006875427037,"sku":"196006845131","price":30.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4089084-2826387.jpg?v=1727202677","url":"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/products\/so-crates-malcolm-after-mecca","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
