THR33 PIECE SUIT — “Headnod”

Posted on February 28, 2013 by Chris

tps

Chris Conti landed Thr33 Piece Suit on the front page of The Providence Phoenix today. It’s a good, informative read that also came with the news of “Headnod,” the group’s debut single, now available for free download via SoundCloud:

For those still foreign to the Thr33 Piece Suit collective, it’s the long-awaited and formal gathering of three of RI’s finest — emcees Chachi Carvalho and Swann Notty along with part-time rhymer, full-time beat maestro j.DePina. They’re a dream team of local talent, which makes news of their LP, Brand New Vintage, hitting shelves in April (I’ve heard rumor of CD, digital, and vinyl release) just about the most exciting event in hip-hop since, well, since I first heard the trio back in the days of CNJ.

Be sure to stay tuned in to TECB for more Thr33 Piece Suit coverage. And you can count on a bit of it. I’ve only heard a handful of cuts from the album so far, but I can still assure you that Brand New Vintage will be praised in my year-end wrap-up. (Yes, I’m already thinking that far ahead.)

Esh & The Arcitype – “Bonafide Napoleon Complex” [VIDEO]

Posted on February 14, 2013 by Chris

Very, very behind on posts, but I’m not going to make any excuses. Besides, of course, the obviously glitched WordPress, a server or network or whatever these geeks call it, that has made it impossibly tough to stay up to date. It’s frustrating. Like clicking save and posts mysteriously deleting themselves type-frustrating.

Anyway, brass tax. And hopefully you’ll be able to see all of this once I’m done.

Esh dropped a project with Beantown-producer The Arcitype – yes, the same cat who just released a project with Ruste Juxx via Duck Down. The EP from Esh & Arc is titled Nightworks, and it’s quite possible my favorite stuff to date from the eccentric super hero. You can get the download here. And check out their video above.

Also kind of new from Esh is “Merica.” Fuck yeah.

Lastly, the kid has a write-up in this week’s Providence Phoenix. If you’re one of those people who still read, please, creek it.

***** ABC’s with TECB ***** 2012 ***** YEAR in MUSIC *****

Posted on January 1, 2013 by Chris

abc w tecb 2012

2012 was big for music. John Mayer made a comeback. Green Day dropped three albums. El-P put more than his name into every critic’s mouth. Frank Ocean and the rest of OFWGKTA came out of the closet. A band named “fun.” existed. Pussy Riot happened and cries of injustice saturated Facebook statuses until it was time to Instagram lunch. And Barack Obama signed to Roc Nation. Lucky for me, things I care about also happened in the past three-hundred and sixty-five days. This is my 2012 year-end post. An alphabetized breakdown of the year’s highlights in music. I hope you enjoy. Creek my gangnam style:

The 30+ Day Late News on Jon Hope

Posted on June 27, 2012 by Chris

In May we failed to keep you up on everything Jon Hope and, for that, I apologize. If the month was a little less hectic for me, and if Jon’s music moves weren’t so fleet-footed, I would have likely made individual posts for “Sara’s Song,” the video you see above, and each of the following:

All of which you should not miss.

Phonte x Ev x Big K.R.I.T. – “The Life of Kings” [VIDEO]

Posted on April 28, 2012 by Chris

Although I’ve never been big on Little Brother anything, and I don’t enjoy supporting a single piece of music that includes the phrase “real talk,” I do like this song. My dude DJ Primitive, who has been nominated by The Providence Phoenix for “Best DJ,” put me on to this track when he spun this during my debut appearance on the WRIU airwaves.

Let us know how you like the song, and if you’re feeling Evidence’s new look.
