http://www.rap4fame.de/thread.php?threadid=43912

eine gemeinsamkeit wäre zB dass beide in Berlin leben

Qwa lebt in Berlin? seit wann denn das? dass er da hin und wieder is kann ich verstehn, würde mich aber wundern wenn er da dauerhaft wohnt, wenn ich mich recht erinner hat der glaub ich was verlauten lassen dass er beim Rubberoom Reunion Konzert anwesend war... kann mich aber auch irren...

“In this vast expanding existence, it’s truly humbling that even though we only see a small fraction of the complete light spectrum, that contained within the visible light we find so much beauty. When a complete hologram is shattered, it’s an unfathomable phenomenon that every individual shard contains the complete image. This album strives to replicate that phenomenon through words.“ - Qwel

“Indigo wisps whispers in the prism, risen gentle.
Soft stirred, to blur scribbles, dust lifts from pencil.
Digs ditches, itches blue bruises and whispers music.
Dances like fuming incense, looming as he muses.
The color of smooth mist, moving dawn pulled along pavement
Echoes from freckled caves, smells of pebbles, clay basements
The shade of Sheba’s smile, sleep painted, baby girl’s iris
Lazy swirls of paisley, rain risen from ancient islands…” – excerpt from “Indigo”

i stole some of my all time favorite beats and wrote better songs than the originals...from m.o.p. beats to rza to kanye to that agent orange shit from cage(for the orange track),jaylib,biggie...trust me the shit is all 100 percent visciouness.i did a track dedicated to each color on the visible spectrum...content and feel wise...not just some "hey this sounds dark,i think i will call it black...shit is flow heavy,line heavy ass whoopins...plus i got a couple poems...my favorite is this one called cortez yellow...

Hello to our friends in the press & radio.

There will be promos of the 'Bat Meets Blaine' CD available soon, and Qwazaar & Batsauce would be available for interviews throughout the months of August & September.

Qwazaar & Batsauce 'Bat Meets Blaine'
All new 14 track full length CD/digital release
Out September 13 2011 on Galapagos4



Qwazaar & Batsauce follow up their masterful Style Be The King EP (2011, Fifth Element/Galapagos4) with a 14-track juggernaut entitled Bat Meets Blaine. The record is an absolute rarity, a series of inspired sessions from a world-class MC & producer team at the height of their respective powers. Batsauce provides ambidextrous backdrops that are as multilayered as they are strident, while Qwazaar simply astonishes, baring his soul while performing near-impossible lyrical feats. It’s a record all true heads should cop and that all lab scientists can envy.

At this point in his career, Qwa’s pedigree is unquestionable. South Side representative extraordinaire; Low End theorist; endlessly inventive with flows and increasingly daring in subject and range. Long hailed for his vocal ability, the decades have seen Qwa transform into the rare artist whose symphonic flow is effortlessly matched to pitch-perfect confessional content. The moments that meld both into a unique storytelling voice are rare—Rakim’s “The Ghetto” comes to mind, as do Black Thought’s post-bop excursions. Qwa’s true corollary, however, aren’t his fellow MCs—it’s Charlie Parker, whose wrenching solos feature a technical genius that are only matched by their sorrow—the sound of Icarus’ wings melting. He’s found his proper spar this go-round—Batsauce is a Berlin-based turntable Gillespie (URB recently dubbed him “the next ‘it’ thing in…underground hip hop”), and their first full-length is a true titanic, trans-Atlantic meeting of the minds. Tasteful guest shots only augment the chemistry: Denizen Kane, Onry Ozzborn, Offwhyte, KP the Ilustrado of The Pacifics, Lady Daisey, and DJ Bizkid round out a stellar supporting cast.

Bird once famously said, “If you don’t live it, it won’t come out your horn.” Bat Meets Blaine is a record of tremendous vitality and reach—Chicago, LA, Jacksonville, and Berlin are a part of its geographic DNA. It numbers several underground classics (Typical Cats, Walk Through Walls, Suicide Prevention, etc.) as its bona-fide predecessors. Its progenitors have earned accolades and stripes and props in print and in person. But most importantly, it has been soaked in rum and in the river, and it has emerged as a testament to pain and power, and it plays beautifully. Bird and Diz, meet Bat and Blaine.[1]

[1]For cats who don’t know nothing about nothing, peep Bird and Diz (Clef, 1952). Get your weight up, suckas!

da man bei G4 in der Regel ja keine 3 Jahre darauf warten muss, bis ein Album dann auch mal kommt, sind das mMn doch recht gute Nachrichten

Coming soon from Galapagos4...

Dreas 'Dreastronaut' CD
Out October 18, 2011



‘Dreastronaut’, the new album from Heardrums label owner & long-time G4 cohort extends out past the normal samples, production styles, and concepts and takes the listeners someplace otherworldly. Not taking the time to sit down and listen to the album in its entirety is a missed opportunity to experience an important component of this sound collage. The end result is a uniquely upbeat soundscape with vibrant scenes of varying emotion and movement surrounded by clouds of opiate laced mood music.

Standout tracks: “Love Strain”, which is somewhat reminiscent of Star Slinger’s more modern soul influenced hip-hop beats, “Time Out Of Joint” with Dreas’ crisp drum sounds alongside pitched down vocal samples a la Clams Casino, “Michiana Noise” which combines campfire sounds and lush orchestral samples to create a stimulating sonic environment, and “Island Grey” whose punchy drums, deep bass, and subtle sounds of the Atlantic Ocean form a chillwave winner.
