So earlier this year, i was listening through a bunch of songs on my hard drive that i had done which were literally wandering around, trying to find a home on some kind of album or project. These songs were dope but being as though i love conceptualizing everything, i decided to make a concept out of the lack of not having one and hence the reference to the masterless samurai of feudal Japan aka
the Ronin. The tracks that make up this 7 song EP were recorded over the last 3 years and each feature a unique emcee and sound- much like the rag-tag but formidable group of Ronin samurai of one of my favorite stories-
Akira Kurosawa's
Seven Samurai, which was adapted a few years ago into one of my fave anime series...
Its no wander this EP has such a samurai motif as i felt like the legendary sword-maker
Hattori Hanzo meticulously mixing & mastering this EP the same way he'd scrupulously craft a blade! And thus i'm happy to present my latest solo project,
The Ronin, which is out now on Bandcamp digitally, and will be available shortly on iTunes, Amazon, etc. Also, i got CD copies on deck featuring exclusive artwork by artist Rodrigo Pradel as well as the album's instrumentals ;)
