Globe-trotting emcee Kingdom Kome returns with new video “Corbata Colombiana.” Filmed in Medellin, Colombia the track was produced by The Equation Beats (who hails from that country and appears in the video).

Watch official video for “Corbata Colombiana”: https://youtu.be/WheyxNSnwDA?si=OM-CCza_Y08df0XO

The track appears on the recent collaborative album from Kingdom Kome and The Equation Beats titled Arepa Y Manteca.  Named for a traditional Colombian delicacy, according to Argentinian born Kingdom Kome “we decided to keep the project real paisa, which means countryman.  This includes most of the album collaborators Colombian RawAjaxLo & CTraffik.”  

Other album guests include Che Uno, Sunez Allah and ParaNoize and the result is ominous instrumentals and grimy beats clashing with disrespectful lyrics in two languages.

Watch the official video for “Mantecon/Arepa Mantecon” here:

Gianfranco GFN, a Swiss-Italian musician, has been on a lifelong journey of musical discovery and creativity. Born in Biel, Switzerland, on October 8, 1966, GFN’s love affair with music began at a tender age, influenced by his Italian parents and the vibrant cultural landscape of his hometown.

From Classical Guitar to Acid Jazz

GFN’s musical odyssey began with the classical guitar, which he received as a gift at the age of seven. Despite the challenges of learning without formal lessons, he persevered, driven by passion and patience. Over the years, he explored various styles, from French and Italian chanson to hard rock, disco, and classic rock, eventually discovering his signature sound in acid jazz.

The Underground Scene and Beyond

In the 1980s, GFN became a staple of Biel’s underground music scene, performing in local cellars and rehearsal rooms. His first concert of original compositions took place in 1981, followed by his first vinyl release in 1984. Despite the challenges of stability and recognition, GFN continued to compose, produce, and perform, eventually developing his unique sound, GIAZZ!

A Solo Career and International Recognition

In the 2000s, GFN launched his solo career, releasing his debut album, Linea, in 2011. This 17-track collection of groove-lounge guitar pieces marked a new chapter in his musical journey. Subsequent albums, including CA’GIAZZ and Troubadour, further solidified his reputation as a masterful composer and musician. GFN’s music has been recognized internationally, with his track Distance gaining widespread recognition across Europe and beyond.

GIOMANÈ: A New Chapter

GFN’s latest album, GIOMANÈ, marks a new chapter in his musical journey. This 13-track masterpiece is a testament to his creativity, passion, and perseverance. With its unique blend of groove, soul, blues, pop, and funk, GIOMANÈ invites listeners on a captivating musical journey. The album features contributions from 15 musicians, both in the studio and remotely, making it a truly international production.

A Musical Legacy

Gianfranco GFN’s musical legacy is a testament to the power of passion, perseverance, and creativity. With a career spanning over four decades, he has inspired countless musicians and music lovers around the world. As he continues to compose, produce, and perform, GFN remains a shining example of the transformative power of music. Join the adventure, follow Gianfranco GFN, and experience the magic of GIOMANÈ!

Bay Area beatmaker/visual artist DJ Design returns with new single “I Wanna Be Free” (Below System Records).  Washes of synth collide with a dense horn arrangement and snappin’ drums.  West-Coast emcee Gennessee guests on the track spitting a lyrical dissertation on the woes of a police state, racial profiling and surveillance. 

Listen to “I Wanna Be Free” (Ft. Gennessee): https://bsr.ffm.to/iwannabefree

This is the 3rd leak from the forthcoming Survival Web Vaults LP to drop in vinyl and digital formats later this year. Additional album guests include Fashawn, Phat Kat, Elzhi, Guilty Simpson, LMNO and more.

Listen to “No Less Than The Trees And The Stars” (Ft. Fashawn): https://bsr.ffm.to/nltttats

Listen to “The Blues” (Ft. Phat Kat & Elzhi): https://bsr.ffm.to/theblues

While more of a behind-the-scenes player DJ Design’s (aka Keith Griego) work has had a sizable imprint on the history of modern hip-hop. As a DJ/Beatmaker and visual artist he has contributed production and art since the late 90’s for notables including The Beastie Boys, Madlib, A.G., Foreign Legion, Rasco, Peanut Butter Wolf and Phat Kat

As a visual artist, his high point of work with the label was his design of the 12” vinyl cover for Lootpack member Madlib’s side project Quasimoto. The cover for “Microphone Mathematics” featured Design/Griego’s visual representation of Lord Quas as a sort of alien aardvark, which was adopted by the artist and has since become one of the most iconic and enduring

characters in the game today.
