Lancecape releases Return to the Classics instrumental LP

Lancescape-ReturntotheClassics-artwork

Return To The Classics is Lancecape’s second project of the year. This time around he takes “it back to the classic samples” from artists such as Minnie Riperton, Billy Cobham, James Brown and Iron Butterfly, among others.

Lancecape has taken it back to the classic samples used in a lot of his favorite Hip Hop songs. Instead of taking the straight loop, Lancecape found pride in chopping up the samples to give it more of a new school feel. It is a dirty, dusty Hip Hop project from front to back. Heavy drums, accompanied by precise sample chops makes this project very innovative and original. Any true Hip Hop fan will gravitate to these instrumentals. Lancecape is also trying to educate the younger generation, that may not know about the classic groups from the mid-nineties that helped mold this genre of music into what it is known as today… HIP HOP!

[Video] The Marsonist – Get Em (ft. Young Noble)

“Get Em” is the self-produced debut single from The Marsonist and features Young Noble of The Outlawz.

The theme for the video is deemed “Fight for your Money” and was expressed in a fun/comedic way and full of mocked, action-packed fight scenes. With a clash of old school and new school, real life, real lyrics, and hard-hitting original production, the Marsonist is fired up and ready to set a mark on the current Hiphop stage.
