2008 Releases
Georgia Anne Muldrow & Declaime
NEW ALBUM: "SomeOthaShip"
The fOnk will set you free. This soul couple radiates light into west coast Hiphop. Georgia’s youthful flow is a beguiling mix social revolution and raw street wisdom. Her choruses, a haunting echo of our ancestors’ reality. And her beats, a cosmic exploration of interplanetary fOnk. Dudley, on the other hand, is a veteran to the game, whose voice overflows with bluesy, syncopated veracity. He never hits the notes you expect, rhymes to the cadence you imagined, or sounds like anyone else: Dudley captivates with the unmistakable sound of experience, reaching deeper within our collective conscious than most of us are comfortable with. Together, Georgia & Dudley, breathe a spiritual wind back into the supercool, fOnked out vibrations of Hiphop.
“Georgia heavily borrows from golden-era free jazz, floats on a cloud of dusted hip hop and possesses a voice that penetrates the deepest of souls"
Tokion Nov. 2006
"Georgia Anne Mudrow's assimilation of classic soul, jazz and hip-hop is nothing less than innovative, imagine Chaka Khan produced by J-Dilla!"

"To use the title of a famous Thelonious Monk composition as an analogy, Dudley Perkins epitomizes Ugly Beauty. As a singer and MC, Perkins' voice isnt pretty in the strict, conventional sense. Some would argue that he cant sing at all. Nevertheless, hes able to captivate hearts and engage imaginations as he sings about inner-city strife and chasing out personal demons." April 17, 2006

"The title of Thelonious Monk's "Ugly Beauty" provides the best means of describing Dudley Perkins's artistry: Navigating between a shrill falsetto and a croaking tenor, Perkins often lands on notes that more surefooted crooners avoid. His sense of melody seems hazy at best, and his rhythmic gait can get shaky. Nevertheless, Perkins possesses one of the most emotionally potent voices in R&B." April 18, 2006

The nation’s capital is home to Hiphop’s most difficult to describe producer & emcee: Oddisee. Oddisee weaves jazz, hiphop & soul into the melodic sampled story of his life. Born to a Sudanese Father and American Mother, Oddisee has been infused with the musical lifestyle since birth. From the records he digs, to the cities he tours, Oddisee seeks out & pens the everyday story thats so fresh its still grimy: his own. In Philadelphia he worked at “A Touch of Jazz Studios†and earned a reputation for a smooth jazz sound. But back in Baltimore he added the drums and bass of the city’s streets and established a whole new era for underground Hiphop. Each track he produces is reminiscent of a more soulful age and still manages to capture the fluidity of life in the space age through a combination of soul samples & live instrumentation. The International vibration he carries through a song is unmistakable. His flow is half Mase, and half Meth; his demeanor Quincy Jones. And the humble he displays might disguise some of his shine, but the fresh kicks on his feet let you know he's got the time. Linguist, lyricist, producer, & programmer, Oddisee’s a trip.
