“While guest features frequently dominate many artists\u2019 albums, true posse cuts with several artists aren\u2019t as common today as they were 15+ years ago. Widowmaker and Trevor Lang sought to change that by bringing together sharp verses from 4 of today\u2019s biggest emcees on one track.<\/p>\n
Portland\u2019s Guttah Greybeard and Grant Burgess make up the production duo known as Widowmaker. Deeply Rooted caught up with Guttah to find out how they put these cats together on a track like this.” <\/p>\n
“The title, \u201cLamy,\u201d refers to the iconic and ever-eccentric French fashion designer, Michele Lamy. In the album artwork, Trevor used photos of Lamy to create an accompanying visual, in which her typical portrayal as witch-like feels almost imminently threatening, as if we are all cursed upon seeing and hearing this joint.<\/p>\n
The imminent threat comes not only from the visuals and the beat but also courtesy of the cast of emcees, using their own established styles to get their point(s) across.”<\/p>\n
“The second single on the limited 7\u2033 Vinyl pairs Widowmaker with Sunz of Man co-founder and Wu-Tang affiliate, Heaven Razah on \u201cStay Awake.\u201d Heaven Razah struts over the snares and kicks and delivers his commanding rhymes. The piano loop delivers a matter of fact, courtroom vibe for Razah Rubies to lay down his sage advice.”<\/p>\n
Razah rhymes:<\/p>\n
\u201cCuz I ain\u2019t all caught up in fame.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s more deeper than a stage name.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s a gun if there\u2019s no aim?<\/p>\n
A ricochet to a child\u2019s brain.<\/p>\n
We barely make it to the 12th grade<\/p>\n
But we can tell you bout this 12 gauge.\u201d<\/p>\n
This track is the first off the Heaven Razah X Widowmaker project, coming in the near future.<\/p>\n
Both \u201cLamy\u201d and \u201cStay Awake\u201d bring some serious talent over hard-hitting, sinister beats.<\/p>\n
