Today is huge. Our favorite rapper/lawyer, Sintax.the.Terrific, has a new album dropping, and it is one you do not want to miss....
If you aren't familiar with Sintax, you should get acquainted ASAP. He is originally from the Baltimore, MD area and made his way to Furman for his college experience. After a few more stops, he ended up in Greenville, SC. There he plays the roles of Husband/Father/Lawyer/Rapper/Sunday School Teacher/Coach/Local Big Word, Astrophysics, Danielson, and alienating college kid (think Spencer Simmons/Monika Young) expert.
He is a founding member of legendary hip-hop group Deepspace5 and still finds time to record with them. What I really would like to see is a concert with all of them together, but I'm not going to hold my breath. These guys are spread out all over the country.
Check out a video from Deepspace5...
Sintax also authors a blog that you have to check out. It is called ipoet laureate and can be found Here. He takes whatever is in the news and puts it to beat and rhyme. It is a really cool idea and he pulls it off really well.... Check it out!
Now we get to what we really need to be talking about....The new album! It is called Prince With a Thousand Enemies and it features Sintax with the vocals and Kurfu with the beats. The album is loosely themed on Richard Adam's literary classic, "Watership Down." If you have had no exposure to "Watership Down", you should probably go read the book or at least check out the animated movie. It is a pretty crazy story that follows a group of rabbits as they seek a new home. A complete culture, language, set of proverbs, and mythology has been set and it is told in an epic style.... You have to read it to believe it.... A animated film was done in the late 70s, but it isnt something to show the kiddies.... This is adult stuff... Check out the trailer below.... Bizarre stuff...
The album went on sale today and can be previewed Here. Pay special attention to "Of Venison Meat" which gives some pretty cool shout-outs to Greenville and then goes on to talk about the Old Spice guy, Haiku d'Etat, Crocodile Dundee, Kimbo Slice, and pencil fighting. How could you possibly go wrong?
The album can be found at all our your favorite media outlets:
1. T-shirt combos Here
2. iTunes - Here
3. Amazon Here
4. Bandcamp Here
You should probably go ahead and get the t-shirt also, because the are pretty amazing.... Be the first kid on your block with a Black Rabbit of Inle t-shirt....
Okay so your mission for today is to go out and get your copy of "A Prince With a Thousand Enemies". I can personally guarantee that you will not be disappointed!
