AWOL Da Mindwriter & August Fanon drop “Altered Beast”
Great Neck, NY wordsmith AWOL Da Mindwriter returns with “Altered Beast.” New single (with video version directed by Jack De$a) was produced by August Fanon (Mach Hommy, Vic Spencer) and is from their forthcoming collaborative LP, Now Loading.
According to the emcee the track is “dealing with negative societal forces in many of our lives including greed and arrogance. The frustration of encountering those forces every day is a trigger; it’s like turning me into an altered beast.” AWOL, a huge gamer (especially passionate about the SEGA games of his formative years) often works in titles and concepts inspired from those games (hence Altered Beast).

“I shoulda stay gone.”Globetrotting emcee Kingdom Kome has dropped visuals for new track “Stay Gone” this morning. Shot by Kevin Ramos and edited by D. Sakolsky (for Gusto Gold Productions) footage was mostly filmed on location in San Juan, Puerto Rico. However, while the background is a tropic beach, the soulful message throughout is one of disgust. Kingdom Kome reveals “it’s mostly inspired by my disgust of the music industry and how soulless and godless it truly is. I’m basically saying that if it wasn’t for my love for our culture and my art that I would have left this game a long time ago.”

Kingdom Kome released five albums last year and RUEN produced a few of those, including Dirty Linens 2, the second full-length collaboration album between Kingdom Kome and Brockton, MA’s masked menace G Fam Black. RUEN also fully aced the Barrel Reserve LP, a more elegant and hazy work.
