After a brief layover with the "Almost There" FreEP...St. Joe Louis takes us "30,000 ft High & Rising."
It commences with an homage to De La Soul on 30,000 and then sky-rockets into the epic life journey’s of Elete, Tommie Chase and Michael Cardigan. The title deals not just with being fly but about the pressures that come with reaching for your dreams.
The trio- candid in their approach and transparent in their delivery- share their triumphs and failures on tracks like, I Reply, and Run Out of Love, respectively. "30,000 ft High & Rising" features Skyzoo, PH (formerly Pumkinhead), Daniel Joseph, and others.
In preparation for Trek Life's new album "Everything Changed Nothing" available July 27th, I put together a "West Coast" beat-tape.
Coming from the city of Go-Go, I've always loved production inspired by funk. when it comes to funk inspired hip hop, no body does it like the west. While I was on the west producing Trek Life's album that inspiration went further than being a fan. I don't know if it was the palm trees, beaches, or burgers but this is what I was making in LA. Listen, Download, Enjoy & purchase "Everything Changed Nothing".

The Roots LP, How I Got Over, is in stores now. Video directed by Rik Cordero.
"The Fire" chronicles a post-apocalyptic death march set in 1945 during the final stages of World War II in Europe. After a cataclysmic event renders the war futile, a paramilitary splinter group -- led by a Kurtz-like figure known as The Commodore -- forces the transfer of young men who will be used as labor...and food. The last survivor of the march receives a mysterious White Box which holds the key to survival. - Rik
This is Quake's take on electronic artist mozez 2005 track titled Take The Sun. Quake takes a different approach on this mellow production, bringing a soulful yet inspirational presence to the song. Shine Forever won't be featured on Quake debut album The Myth which is being released August 31st. However it will be featured on an upcoming mixtape project dropping in October.
