Hex One "This Is How You Murder A Kanye Classic" (Video)

Hex One was born in Barranquilla, Colombia in '89. He spent most of his childhood and adolescence in Queens, New York after he and his family moved there when he was 6 years old. Influenced early on by the Colombian culture of improvised rhyming called “trovas” and later on being exposed to New York’s hip hop landscape, Hex soon began writing his own rhymes at age 12. Later, after relocating once more to South Florida, he met high school friend and fellow MC Tek-nition. Hex and Tek went on to release multiple projects and garner some relative notoriety in the underground. I've covered his projects on the site, but below is a joint he titles, "This Is How You Murder a Kanye Classic," which I'm (sorta) embarrassed to admit, I didn't know was a Kanye beat. Shrugs... nevertheless, he kept his word and bodied it! I don't post a lot of loosies, but the content and his flow made me stop and pay attention, which checks both boxes on reasons to share this here. Watch it below...

String Theory "String Theory" (Album Stream)

"A cosmic event so minuscule and rapid that it is unsure as to whether it even occurred at all. This was the precursor to the formation of String Theory. A group and its self titled album comprised of Epidemic's Hex One and Swedish beat maker Boom Bappin' Zombie Darney. Only outside the realms of a structured paradigm can such a happening even begin to be analyzed. So too only under these conditions can it be formed. With concepts ranging from the abstract to the concrete, this anomaly in space time, this rift in the conscious fabric of reality, this naked singularity attempts to answer the basic human question: who are we really? The ambiguity of the universe's many laws is what drives this question, as every soul on this plane is searching for their own personal theory of everything. We ride it's intergalactic currents, weaving between supposed realities and lucid dreams, only to reminisce on how beautiful it all used to be. A graceful marriage between multilayered resonance and the seemingly forgotten art of rap. The inception of this body of work blurs the notion of identifying it as an album, as it is simply a juncture made possible by infinitely specific circumstances, without which, String Theory would never have existed at all. If we are a simulation, then in the ways that matter to us... we are real enough." Stream the String Theory album below.
