Title: Welcome to the Afterfuture Artist: Mike Ladd Label: Vava Records Product Type: VINYL LP UPC: 5055300386205 Genre: Rap/Hip Hop Release Date: 2015-07-10 Number of Discs: 2
Timely reissue of Mike Ladd's crucial and seminal 1999 work Welcome to the Afterfuture. Summoning b-lines, electronic spatter, jazz wig-outs, hard hip hop, Indian ragas, and soundtrack ephemera, Mike Ladd chooses a different voice (and sometimes an absence of voice) for each tune. He runs hyper-literate, pun-stuffed rap against pitched-down crooning; pif-punk call-and-response against uninflected reportage; preacher's cadences against poetry. This deluxe double LP reissue is packaged with an 11 x 11 booklet containing exclusive pictures, lyrics, and literature from prominent writers and critics, as well as exclusive vinyl-only bonus tracks and a download code. Bladerunners features Company Flow.
