Denver-based hip-hop crew Stay Tuned is set to release its new full length album Remote Control on November 15, 2020 digitally and on vinyl (available through the Bandcamp link below). But early in the year we got a taste of what we’re in store for with the new record with the single “Hit It!” It’s rooted in classic hip-hop and the early 90s alternative flavor without sounding like it’s trapped in old school worship. The beat box percussion, turntablist flair and rapid poetry lyrics cadenced with an attitude reminiscent of early 2000s Talib Kweli. The collaborative track features contributions from InkLine, Fleetwood DeVille and Carnage the Executioner (a frequent collborator with Eyedea) as well as the usual deft bars from MCs ManeRok and Ichiban. With DJ AWHAT!!!’s beats and production from the aforementioned InkLine it perfectly fuses organic textures and rhythms with expert placement of sounds to put the words in the foreground like you’re living in a the moment with what the rappers have to say about the nuances and mythologies of cannabis culture and its impact on culture and the lives of individuals without sounding like some cartoonish advertisement for the industry. Listen to “Hit It!” on Bandcamp and connect with Stay Tuned at the links provided.
