Here's the press release for the new Cyne record:
"This heavyduty tough-work track is the debut single from Cyne. Their politically conscious rhymes tell a fluid tale of deceit, betrayal, and protection, while the track, the beats, and the hook truly deliver on their promises. Further expanding your consciousness and the record side, Beta Bodega Coalition brings you PH Dee. He doctors the track up like a dirty surgeon in an unmarked office down a dark alley. o9 of Must!Delicious, Planet-Mu, and Schematic will shock everyone who has or hasn't heard any of his previous material. With his hard, heavy, deep-as-fuck, straight-up hip-hop innovation, he sets new standards in forward thinking hip-hop. BBC also proudly introduces to the world: El Machetero. BBC found this man living in a flophouse in Miami's Overtown district. He is rumored to be wanted in three states for questioning, but has remained elusive. BBC was able to coax a complete track, a remix of 'African Elephants', due to the lyrical content. After picking up the master cassette tape from the drop point, BBC decided the track met standards. A bizarre mix of high end electronic wizardry, dirty Miami-bass and electro-reggae? For the DJ: We have included several acappella versions as well as an instrumental. This record is a must for both electronic and underground hip hop fans. Comes with beautiful records jacket design from the latino owned and operated design center, Pl3x. Top quality from Miami's underground."
Here's a write-up from s://kimo <support@skimo.com> of the new Cyne record:
CYNE : African Elephants 12" (MUST!DELICIOUS/RICE & BEANS) $7.15
"The long-awaited joint release between the newly formed Miami label Must!delicious and Rice and Beans (Beta Bodega). An idea of a sweatshop fits perfectly with hip-hop's current iteration. Faceless, underprivileged and exploited. Either your jigged-out, thugged out or bugged-out (referring to the tired swarm of over-abstract mc's). All mass produced and unimaginative at this point. CYNE says how about classic hip hop with social and political consciousness, using the mic to relay a message of unity for those trapped in the inner-city? A timeless formula, hip hop reminiscent of better days! Like a stampede, you hear "African Elephants" coming, but you don't know what's hit you until you are picking yourself up off of the ground. This heavy duty tough-work track is the debut single from CYNE. Their thoughtful, conscious rhymes tell a fluid tale of deceit, betrayal, and protection, while the track, the beats, and the hook truly deliver on their promises. Further expanding your consciousness and the record side is Beta Bodega Coalition, known in the abstract electronic world as a collective of audio activists shedding light on the struggle of Third World people, especially those in Latin America and immigrants within the US. Beta Bodega Coalition brings to you PH Dee. He doctors the track up like a dirty surgeon in an unmarked office down a dark alley, freaky abstract hip hop with a deep, deep bassline. o9 of Must!Delicious, Planet - Mu, and Schematic will shock everyone who has or hasn't heard any of his previous material. This dark, heavy hitting and rugged remix, is garunteed move even the hardest of hard-rocks. BBC also proudly introduces to the world, El Machetero. BBC found this man living in a flophouse in Miami's Overtown district. A bizarre mix of high end electronic wizardry, dirty Miami-bass and electro-reggae? For the DJ: We have included several acappella versions as well as an instrumental. This record is a must for both electronic and underground hip hop fans! Comes in limited reversible record jacket designed by the latino owned and operated design center, Pl3x! Topquality from Miami's anti-commercial forces."
