{"product_id":"so-crates-malcolm-after-mecca","title":"So.Crates - Malcolm After Mecca","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. Australian 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. The 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. With 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. Functioning 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. 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\u003ch4\u003eDisc 1\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntruh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7th Day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoan-Sum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeaut-I-Full World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExistential Lessons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull Moon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSazon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eS.F Holiday\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Bond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHold on (To the Fallen Ones)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFresh Gold Bloom-Age\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 2 (4 Moses)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurtis on the Hiss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Price of Forgiveness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eLabel: Bedroom Suck Records\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCatalog: 100\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGenre: Rap\/Hip Hop\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bedroom Suck Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42897967611984,"sku":"BDSK100.1","price":1999.0,"currency_code":"UYU","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/7380\/7952\/files\/4089084-2826387.jpg?v=1788696448","url":"https:\/\/mus.uy\/products\/so-crates-malcolm-after-mecca","provider":"MUS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
