Store update: Bipolar - Darcmind! 08.05.06
This Darcmind production, 'Bi-polar', is a collection of Kevroc pieces, circa 1991 to 1999. With the renewed interest in Darcmind Productions, sparked by the 'Symptomatic Of A Greater Ill' release on ANTICON Records, it seemed fitting to revisit old menu's from gala's past and rather than reprise them, nuke them and serve them up as they were originally prepared, so check your palate.
Actually, the 'Kine 'o shit I'm on' verse was modified as reflected in a much improved track upgrade accentuated by the Bass stylings of our own Gianni Cement (G.B. Gianni, I truly love that shit). Other pieces such as 'Seed' and 'Luv-n-Disses' from the Tough Love series #1, were works that simply sat around for a minute without a mate (track). As may be discerned by the discriminating listener, track selection was based on a perceived harmonious intermingling of track and verse. The overemphasis on lyrical content is intentional yet not intended to insult. The aim is to take points, words and phrases you've heard before and reference them in ways you may not have heard before. An ancient M.C.ing technique. The title ‘Bi-polar’ which, at it’s root, is a broad and intentional plying of lost and ancient releases reflects a range or dynamic of psycho-emotional _expression. Comfort lies in the confidence that the listener will judge these works in an overall production context. To that end, we endeavor. X – Ray / King Ceasar / G.M. Web-D and Kevroc / Bornsayer – I / K- Rhymer (most recently known as K-Jeweler) comprise DARCMIND PRODUCTIONS. Give us time, you’ll be amazed.
