1. Campfire
2. What I Said feat. Newman of Giant Panda
3. Just Above My Head (Halo)

On "Plastic Wraped Couch" Nine:Fifteen pick up where they left off. Dispite being on either side of the country like hands on a clock the duo continue to bring hard beats and refined rhyme patterns. Lead track "Campfire" sets the tone for the single. Could the song be a statement from Nine:Fifteen? Songs that you continuously hear strumming on an acoustic guitar over and over again around the campfire. Nine:Fifteen is just saying, "this is the start of us blazing a new path with our music, this is just the begining." "What I Said" features the talents of Newman from Giant Panda. Comel and Newman display a unique flow that is fresh. While "Just Above My Head (Halo)" may seem personal in nature.

On this effort, Blake returns to the Golden Era hip hop sound he was raised on to unearth a succession of classic bangers, which set the perfect backdrop for Mad Squirrel’s mischievous adventures in the forest of underground hip hop wanna-be cats and buck-chasing ducks. From Clair to Joy, widowed soccer moms to Sarah Palin, Mad Squirrel moves through the subterranean hip hop dating scene with deft sensitivity and alarming disassociation, demonstrating that his unique storytelling abilities – honed within the cavernous reaches of the Bay Area underground – have the power to both amuse and unsettle, sometimes within the course of a single song.  The 13 track album also features a handful of run-ins with the likes of little league allstars, sucker emcees, and Sesame Street understudies. In both their beats and lyrics, Blake9 and Mad Squirrel straddle the line between tradition and innovation achieving a balance that captures the best of each. To those who know, Dropping from the Trees is an underground hip hop classic.  Forming Roots demonstrates the Acorns evolving maturity, not only from the first album but also in its climactic progression of songs..

Yesterdays Truth

1. Told You
2. Movement or Structure
3. Inside The Rhyme
4. 5 'O'clock
5. Borne Shine


Blake9 First met Ionic in 1990 While attending middle School in Northern Virginia. The duo now known as Yesterday's Truth crossed paths years later through mutual friends realizing they both had interests in making music. In June 2007 at an El-P show in Washington, D.C. the two talked about creating some songs together. After realizing they had similar tastes in certain labels, genres, and the art of producing tunes they decided to start working on tracks together. Blake emailed a few beats and Ionic wrote some lyrics. After putting a few songs together Yesterday's Truth went into the studio to record their music. Six months later they have put together a cd, page, and a plan. These five tracks are what Yesterday's Truth have chosen to begin the buzz, today.

"Walking Thru Fire"

1. Keep Trying feat. Radel_Esca
2. The One I Always Cry For feat. Shawn Jackson
3. R.I.P.

B - Side has instrumentals for all three cuts. Radio cuts for R.I.P. and Keep Trying also available on this record!



On “Walking Thru Fire” Nine:Fifteen recruits long time art director, music collaborator, and friend Radel Esca’s singing talent on “Keep Trying,” and brings raw energy combined with a hypnotizing melodic flute loop.  On the second track Comel joins up with friend and Glow In The Dark label-mate Shawn Jackson on “The One I Always Cry For.”   The two lace rugged swinging flows over a whaling guitar and a grinding organ beat.  The Final track “R.I.P.” finds Comel reflecting on the obvious, but is it, really?  Unique song structure and a mysterious flow help this guitar-riff laden beat to complete the third twelve-inch by Nine:Fifteen.

Blake9 produces a funky canvas on lead track "Missy Prissy", while Count's lyrics paint a portrait for listeners as he touches on a number of topics, punctuated by a lament over decisions made early on in the game. On the second track "Gamble," Blake9 and Count are joined by Comel_15 of Nine:Fifteen and Time Machine fame, in arguably his most blazing effort to date. Count and Comel_15 bob & weave seamlessly in-between the melody ruminating on the risks of gambling upon wishful thinking. Finally, on "Selfish & Impatient", the track drives along persistently as Count pays even more dues and tries to get that Paper! Count is out for his and he's starting to get impatient...

Blake9 and Comel_15 of Time Machine fame team up on this one for one of the most exciting hip hop releases this year. The B-side features the instrumentals of the tracks on the A.
"...they've composed a stellar single and packaged it with two sturdy B-sides. "Spilt Milk" rides a jungle boogie trumpet squeal and a shuffling four note bass figure and refuses to let your ears wander until it's over. Comel's amiable delivery and natural flow keep the verses fresh, but the focus is clearly on the half-sung, half-spoken hook, and that's a good thing, because it's a winner." Cover art by Raul Zahir.
