Bun Dem – Lord Juco ft. Falcon Outlaw (prod. by Ol Man 80zz)
https://lordjuco.bandcamp.com/track/bun-dem-ft-falcon-outlaw

Interview : Nick D

We caught this track on the strength of FalconCrest being involved in the mix. Lord Juco’s name had a familiar ring already, having featured on Chong Wizard’s, The Power Stone EP. Ol’ Man 80zz? I swore Jordan C. had his production in a Top10EN, but it must have been his clever flip on the Zig Zag logo that got stuck in the mind! I digress.

To the matter at hand though, Lord Juco’s, ‘Bun Dem’ is a track that exemplifies a stylistic sound of Toronto. That Hip Hop inflected with a strong Caribbean/West Indies vibe. This banga is straight head nod with a minimal beat of 80% slap your skull up drums, and some sinister keys. Lord Juco sets it off callin’ an end to the fxckery he sees, ‘you hide like Anne Frank… put you in a hole like Hussein’. Big Falcon Outlaw fills throughout with his patois chant, and closes with a second verse reinforcin’ why you don’t bring it ’round here. This is some straight 90’s Smif N Wessun ish (Not a Toronto group lol)!

Since all heads were from the Toronto area. We figured why not get all hands on deck to share some insight on the track for ya’ll. Chop it up about some basketball since the Raptors are in the playoff hunt with some real possibilities, and just share a few down to earth recommendations about the city for you readers. Things like some spots to hit on a night out, and where to grab a hearty plate! A Hip Hop guide to Toronto, truly!

SPITGAN PREMIERE : FUTUREWAVE X DANIEL SON, BEETLEJUICE


By Jordan C.

Toronto production duo The Lost Info (Futurewave & Ol Man 80zz) have been on the scene for a minute but it wasn’t until they started working with lyricists Daniel Son and Asun Eastwood that they popped up on our radar. While they dropped a full album with Brooklyn’s Justo The MC and Futurewave handled a whole project for Atlanta’s Heem Stogied last year, it was their work with buzzing emcees from their own city that shined the most. “Summer’s Fuckin Over” and “Vinyl Dust Blunts” off Asun Eastwood’s Hollywood Briggs album (both of which feature Daniel Son) displayed the kind of rich production that leaves a lasting impression. Then at the end of January, Daniel Son hit ‘em in the head with a Futurewave banger titled “Trust The Process” that had heads excited for what else these two have planned for 2018.

Well, today SPITGAN is proud to premiere the video for “Beetlejuice.” This joint is the official single off Futurewave’s upcoming producer album Wav.God, which also features tracks with Hus Kingpin, Nowaah the Flood, Heem Stogied, Justo The MC, plus an epic posse cut with Asun Eastwood, Recognize Ali, Flashius Clayton, and J Scienide.

The beat on “Beetlejuice” is mostly just a deep groove bass line and downtempo drums, but once in a while a heavily filtered vocal sample creeps in. With so much room to get loose, Son gets on his “Bakaow” shit and caves in the competition’s head. When he says, “Went to Venezuela just to buy me these Tims / that Ralph stay on me like a Siamese Twin,” we grinned so hard it almost hurt our cheeks. As if the combination of Futurewave and DS wasn’t a potent enough mixture, they get together once again with Mercenary Productions for some fire visuals. With convulsive camera work and wavy effects this video aims to recreate an acid trip Daniel Son experienced. Warning: This may trigger flashbacks for those that have done too many hallucinogens.

Wav.God drops on March 1st but pre-orders are up now at: Lostinfomusic.com
