Morphius Distribution is proud to announce our recent signing of Brooklyn/D.C. quartet Deleted Scenes! Their debut LP, Birdseed Shirt, has garnered rave reviews from both NPR and Spin.com, and Pitchfork called the record "brave and ferocious." Don’t miss them on tour in the U.S. throughout ‘09.
When Albert Ayler stunned the world with Spiritual Unity, the opening salvo of the Free Jazz movement and the album that laid the schematic for his dazzling permutation of jazz, he was criticized for being outlandish, overly mod, and too ambitious. Yet today, the album is considered a classic statement of artistic foresight that broke barriers, deconstructed an art form, and pushed Jazz and the rest of the avant garde movement interminably forward.
Labtekwon is at a similar conceptual threshold with his new album Avant God. Fresh off the critical acclaim of his ambitious work The Hustlaz Guide to The Universe, Lab has returned with his most stunning record yet, a full out exploration of free form hip-hop, abstracted elliptic lyricism, and his own inimitable style, all told a brilliant diagram for a heretofore unknown genre of hip-hop. Call if free form, free jazz, or simply innovative, Lab has pushed the boundaries of hip-hop much like Ayler did for jazz. The result is 23 mercurial, challenging tracks of a new form of abstract hip-hop that will forever alter the landscape of contemporary music.
Avant God is a product of Lab’s idiomatic syncretism, a fusion of spirituality and ghetto culture, philosophical formalism and street aesthetics. His ability to blend these influences into a singular stream of lingual consciousness is why legendary Public Enemy front man Chuck D characterized Labtekwon as “the Thelonius Monk of the rap game” and “way ahead of his time.”
Legendary graffiti artist and cultural stylist Adam Stab adds to the authenticity of this album with a design of customized lettering for the cover, back and inside artwork. In essence, Avant God is an accumulation of Labtekwon’s artistry, an album that is sure to become a cultural marker of the rebirth of hip-hop
