WILL C: ‘Ancient Spirit’ video + ‘Omega Supreme Soundwave’ trailer (2014)

Shortly to be entering the outer rappersphere after a lengthy sojourn in the fourth dimension with Brian Wilson is none other than Will C everybody. The Boston emcee/ producer’s twin obsessions of filtering the eighties through a psychedelic prism and delivering distorted rap vocals have survived the journey, you’ll be pleased to hear, which means the prospect of a new LP is rather exciting. Apparently he knocked Omega Supreme Soundwave out in a fortnight after a couple of …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

GOLDEN BROWN SOUND: ‘African Black Gold’ (2013) video + free download

Golden Brown Sound‘s African Black Gold is the second ganja anthem to drift, smoke-like, the monkey’s way this month and is about as raw as boom-bap gets. Rapper No Doz kicks raucous rhymes over Dj On & On’s fat beat which sounds like the arrival of Hannibal’s war elephant. MB favourite Will C has been employed to direct the video and adds to the weird by chopping up movie clips of rich W.A.S.Ps smoking fatties, blaxploitation clips of drug-fuelled antics, and archive footage …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

WILL C: Runaway, Train (2013) + video trailer

It’s summer, it’s time for another psychedelic breakbeat trip from the far-out mind of Boston rapper/ producer/ director (he’s not one for delegation), Will C. The PR has it that the album is, “the only official account of what happened to Will C….after he mysteriously disappeared from his home base of Boston a year ago”. The LP video teaser (spliced together from 80s film excerpts) reveals that the album also tells of the “unexpected snags” encountered by “our rhyming hero.” These …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

WILL C: Eli’s Prism (2012)

It’s a safe bet that if you dug the Boston underground hip-hop lot who came through in the late nineties/ early 2000s – (I’m thinking – 7L & Esoteric, Edan, Mr Lif, Dagha), you’ll dig Boston MC/ producer Will C – even if he is now based in Colorado. In fact, if you enjoyed any underground hip-hop of the late nineties and the early 2000s – it’s a pretty safe bet you’ll dig Will C’s fourth full-length release, Eli’s Prism. Loosely speaking Eli’s Prism is a concept album. It squeezes everything it has to say into 13 tracks and a modest thirty eight minutes though, so it’s far from some flabby slab of pretension. The Eli of the title is our man’s brother – we’ll ...READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

WILL C: Almost Summer EP (2012) Free download + video

It’s almost summer and Bostonian rapper/ producer Will C is more excited than a kid with a new bucket and spade as he follows up trippy Beach Boys-raiding instrumental LP Adieu Or Die’s with the Almost Summer EP. Almost summer? It might be almost summer in Boston. Try living at the arse end of the gulfstream mate – it’s a fucking weather lottery over here at the moment – and the number that’s come up most frequently in the last fortnight is March. Chuck on this summer-delic slice of hip-hop though and…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM
