Sinomatic EP
For Immediate Release:

A Canadian Dream….Rise and Fall

“Action” “Roll tape” Only this isn’t a conventional movie, its Sinot’s first EP “Sinomatic”

“Sinomatic” takes a unique approach to creativity, with piercing word play, an ever important message, along with remarkably production, which leaves you yearning for more. Sinot instills the message behind the EP with lyrics so vivid it paints a picture as you indulge. Sinot takes you on a journey sharing the highs and lows of a juvenile minority male raised in the public housing. Sinomatic opens with “Man to Man” 1 which covers the melodic 2008 record “”The Traitor” as the scene forms with the conversation of the juvenile receiving advice from an “OG” on the highs and lows of the drug trade. As he shares a real life story recollecting of the game as he knew it. “Good Man” follows with an alluring non-fiction cover of the identical title, this narrative metaphor starts to form as the juvenile gets caught up, which leads to his mother turning a blind eye as his speaks to a lady about her lifestyle and her priorities. The summer anthem “I’m Gonna Getcha” produced by Rich Kidd is the coming of age in full effect. Sinot presents a bird’s eye view of the inner city dream and what it notoriously brings. The experience continues with the climax of his success in the soulful flash back reminiscences of the fast life, with the noticeable smooth horn in this collaboration “Man to Man” 2 with the talented Leila Dey. As the record spotlights the juvenile flaunting what the streets define as success. Remember what grandma uses to say. Anything received fast goes even quicker as “Sinomatic” concludes with the well-known sample re-invented by Rich Kidd “Man to Man” 3 wines down with Sinot preaching just how quick the dream became reality and was all gone in the blink of an eye. As the EP closes Sinot leaves you captivated while educating listeners on the real issues affecting our communities. Remember best said by Sinot “Change Starts From Within”.

NEW VIDEO: BBRC x RUFFNOTES – Backseat Freestyle (Freestyle Video)

rez | Video | Sunday, August 14th, 2016

Missed this a few weeks back. Dope one from BBRC. I guess calling it a “freestyle video” is their way of justifying why there’s so much Kendrick in it lol. Just take in the full timeline below. Love the way these dudes are breaking down the behind the scenes stories of their remixes.

BBRC x RUFFNOTES (BOOK & BRONZE REMIX)
“BACKSEAT FREESTYLE, FREESTYLE” VIDEO
A freestyle is a performance characterized by free, unrestricted movement in how the
performers employ their repertoire of techniques, styles, and content. Unlike a typical
song, the freestyle is a decidedly nonprofessional
display of creativity, intended for the
artists’ peers.

2010: A behindthescenes producer by the name of HitBoy, makes a beat for singer
Ciara. She never records on it.

2011: Hit Boy sends the beat to Kendrick Lamar who, while on the road and working on his major label debut, loops the intro and writes a short piece over it. The song describes views of Compton as seen from the back seat of a minivan. He calls it “Backseat Freestyle”.

2012: “Backseat Freestyle” drops on Kendrick’s TDE affiliated Aftermath/Interscope debut LP, “Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City” . Later that year, acclaimed British animator & director, RUFFMERCY, is contacted by TDE and asked to contribute to Lamar’s forthcoming “Backseat Freestyle” visual, as an animator. He graciously accepts, and latterly submits finished animations.

2013: TDE decides to move in a different direction as the official visuals for Lamar’s “Backseat Freestyle” are released top of the year, short of RUFFMERCY’s contributions.

2014: Strictly as an exploration, RUFFMERCY executes on his original vision for Lamar’s “ Backseat Freestyle ” video, a wild layer of handdrawn illustrations animated over the original Kendrick footage. He sends a very short reference snippet to Notes to Self BBRC as an example of a style he’s developing. For art’s sake alone, they produce their own freestyle and remix of Lamar’s “Backseat Freestyle” , working with Book & Bronze under a collective pseudonym with RUFFMERCY calling themselves RUFFNOTES, syncing it to the video with additional footage. Seen by both parties as a purely exploratory creative exercise together, there are no plans or intent to release the collaboration.

2016: Until now.

Song: “Backseat Freestyle, Freestyle” (Book & Bronze Remix)
Artist: BBRC x RUFFNOTES
Directed by RUFFNOTES (RUFFMERCY x Bronze)
Animations by RUFFMERCY

NEW MUSIC: ElceeTheArtist x Bonham Carter present Love Notes (EP)

rez | Music | Sunday, August 14th, 2016

ElceeLoveNotes

ElceeTheArtist links up with Cali-based producer Bonham Carter one mo’gin, this time for a 5-track EP called Love Notes.

Right in the middle of Toronto’s hottest summer in memory, ElceeTheArtist delivers a cool, and up-beat EP called “Love Notes”. The album focuses it’s attention on the many different aspects of that fickle thing we call love. Take a familiar journey with Elcee as he paints some iconic moments in love through this five-track EP. The album, produced by California’s Bonham Carter, has some smooth melodies punctuated with staccato percussion, and horns that snap through the synths throughout each of the tracks. ElceeTheArtist’s vocals ride across the arrangements with a complexity that accents the instrumentals. The subjects of the lyrics fit right at home on top of those soulful melodies. The whole concept of the album stems from the “notes” that make up the musical arrangement, to the “notes” about love that each track represents. All of this culminates in an EP that is a collection of Love Notes.
