REVIEW: IV The Polymath

.:ALBUM REVIEW: IV The Polymath - New Vs. Old

In the past few years, instrumental hip-hop albums have started to garner widespread attention. Previously, MCs used to seek out beat tapes to practice their rhymes or find producers for their albums. Nowadays, producers can release entire projects that don’t sound out of place without a rapper spitting over the tracks. This tradition of showcasing beats without rappers started back in the mid 90s with the help of artists such as DJ Shadow and his album “Endtroducing.” The latest release to come across my desk in this genre is IV the Polymath’s “New Vs Old.”

Episode 72 mit Suff & Miles by RadioLoveLove

Ok, so i tried to write the last episode of the underground chronicles quicker than the last one, but i totally failed.

The tour is over now for about two weeks, and i'm happy to chill out at my flat. I started making beats again and work on the new album, which hopefully will be released in autumn this year, thats why i completely lost focus about this shit..

I wrote my last report when we were in plauen. The show wasn't too good, cause there were not too many people at the club. But anyway, we kicked it and left the next morning to splash festival, where we met the whole gang (olski, twit one, dexter, hulk hodn, retrogott, morlockk dilemma and and and...). The festival was very well organized, luckily dexter had oodles of drink and food tickets, so we had a feast and the drinks were comin fast.

I have to apologize for the long delay, on the third part of the underground chronicles. We haven't had much time to chill since we started as we have shit to do every day. and when I had the chance to chill out a bit i wasn't in the right mood or just too tired to write.

Stuttgart, Vienna, Cologne, munich, Erfurt, Berlin, Dresden… they were the last tour stops. It was crazy. we met so many people and experienced a lot of good days, if Robert wouldn't take pictures all the time I would have forgotten most of it...

The Underground Chronicles Of Suff Daddy: Part 2

SuffDaddy Underground Chronicles The Underground Chronicles Of Suff Daddy: Part 2suff%20on%20tour The Underground Chronicles Of Suff Daddy: Part 2

All right… so now I just woke up in Cologne at Robert Winters place, where I have slept on the couch for the last few days. Miles arrived last Monday, we had two days to rehearse and I think the show will be dope… like the last week was.

Vienna was very nice, I just love the city. We had a good show with Brenk and Dexter on Friday, although it was hot as hell, the sweat just kept dripping down from my nose while I was djing. And somehow the humid atmosphere kept us from drinking too much. Which is very unusual if Brenk and I get together. But in the end it was all good, the next day I was just walked the city from west to east. Beautiful!

The Underground Chronicles Of Suff Daddy: Introduction

SuffDaddy Underground Chronicles The Underground Chronicles Of Suff Daddy: Introduction
So here we go. The Suff Chronicles.

I just packed my bags for a 5 week trip. I'm kinda excited, but right now I'm feeling like I wanna stay at home and chill… Anyway.

On June 22nd I'm goin on tour with my man Miles Bonny. If you don't know him check him out, he's a singer/producer/trumpet player from Kansas City and he's doing beautiful stuff.
We have worked together before, he's a cool dude and I'm really happy to do this shit with him. Robert Winter, the photographer of the Hi-Hat Club is also with us, he's documenting everything in pictures and videos. Furthermore Wido and Georg from Step Forward Booking will be there to take care of business, while we play music and get drunk. I think thats a fair division of work.

The tour will take us to eleven different cities in three weeks. Before that i'm goin to Vienna, Cologne and Düsseldorf where I play some gigs before Miles arrives.

EXCLUSIVE: The Underground Chronicles Of Suff Daddy (This Month)

SuffDaddy Underground Chronicles EXCLUSIVE: The Underground Chronicles Of Suff Daddy (This Month)

Has it really been two month, since our last Chronicles?!...I must apologise for the lack of UC as we had a few thecnical issues, and couldn't make it for the past couple of months. But now we are officially back and better than ever.

I would like to thank Moka Only for joining us on our last series, very interesting in depth view at some of Torch's world, if you haven't peeped it, you missing out.

This month we bring you Suff Daddy. We have been posting about Suff, since day one, and honestly he is in my personal top 10 producers and has been getting better and better. . So it was only right that we'd approach and ask for Suff to share a bit of his personal live as a producer with everyone at WIB.

Gets even better though...Suff is on the road as we speak as he just started his European tour with Miles Bonny...he will be reporting from the road with stories and full pictures of what happens when it happens. The pictures will be taken by Photographer extraordinaire Robert Winter, the man responsible for all the epic Hi-Hat Club album covers. Head over to his website to check his work, if you into photography, highly recommended you to have a look

So this should be some epic stuff right here. Suff always brings excellence to his work, and it sounds like this Chronicles are going to be as excellent as his album releases.

I'll leave you with a little preview of Suff for those of you who are not familiar:

FREENESS: Don Will X Suff Daddy – DPPLGNGR

Don%20Will%20X%20Suff%20Daddy%20 %20DPPLGNGR FREENESS: Don Will X Suff Daddy   DPPLGNGR

Don Will aka Don Cusack (of Tanya Morgan fame) made himself a birthday present by recording a free mixtape solely based on Suff Daddy beats taken from "Hi-Hat Club 2: Suff Draft" and "The Gin Diaries":

"Long story short it was recorded mid to late last year after i found out about this guy named Suff Daddy and was put in touch with his label (MPM) thanks to the homie Jon Kim.  I waffled about releasing it and finally decided that it was too good not to share. The title comes from just becoming a whole different person over time, sorta like a doppelganger of  yourself. That feeling that you get when you look in the mirror and dont really know the person looking back at you even though they look just like you. Our lives change us incrementally on a daily basis so after a few jarring experiences one day we all lose who we were to become who we are. thats life right? You change it or it changes you." - Don Will
