Sole and the Skyrider Band - Shipwreckers

sole_skyrider Sole and the Skyrider Band - Shipwreckers

anticon artist Sole, known to his parents as Tim Holland, will release Sole and the Skyrider Band, his first album recorded entirely with a live band on Oct. 23. Although Sole’s last full length came out well over 2 years ago, the rapper has kept busy touring and also playing under his alias ‘mansbestfriend’.

Sole met the Orlando based three-piece Skyrider after returning home from living abroad. Skyrider relocated to Flagstaff, Arizona, where Sole has been living since, enjoying the heat and making music. Wrap your PC speakers around “Shipwreckers” a track where Sole jacks the hook from the Guy Debord film, Refutation of All Judgments.


MP3:  Sole and the Skyrider Band - Shipwreckers

The album will be released October 23rd on anticon, of course. And because Bumpsdick & I used be real big on the backpack-indie-rap and because our anticon tag was severely lacking, here’s a cornucopia of my old anticon related faves:


MP3:  Deep Puddle Dynamics - The Candle


MP3:  Atmosphere - Trying To Find A Balance


MP3:  Themselves - Thisboutthecitytoo [Recommended]


MP3:  Boom Bip & Doseone - The Bird Catcher


MP3:  Atmosphere - Summer Song


MP3:  13 & God - Men of Station


MP3:  Atmosphere - If I Was Santa Claus

Surely you have all these albums in your collection but if one of the homies borrowed a copy and never gave it back you can re-up here Sole and the Skyrider Band - Shipwreckers.



El-P drops one soon.

El-P’s new album ‘I’ll Sleep When Your Dead’ drops soon. I’m hoping it will be as legendary as Fantastic Damage. That album was on super duper mad repeat the summer of 2002. In my opinion F.D. was El-P’s best work since Funcrusher Plus.

Tracks from the new album were posted on My Old Kentucky Blog & So Much Silence.

All this inter-talk of new El-P albums made me dig some old albums out of the archives & reminisce.
El-P - Deep Space 9mm

Also, while we’re reminiscing, anyone remember the beef between El-P & Anticon member Sole circa 2000? Sole was just putting out his first albums & thought it would be a good idea to go on record & diss El-P on the track “Dear Elpee”. El-P writes his rebuttal & releases it on Mr. Len’s Class-X (Tribute To Company Flow) & hilarity ensues.

Listen to Sole’s Track:
Sole - Dear Elpee

And then listen to El-P’s track complete with recorded phone conversation between Sole & El Producto himself. He totally rips the young buck a new one.
