SEWN LEATHER - Summer Flexi Series
On his Summer Flexi, GRIFFIN PYN (aka SEWN LEATHER) declares war! He sounds pretty fuckin serious too. He aint rappin on Unclear War", but this is some of the gnarliest booty shakin hardcore Ive heard since the first Death Grips LP. Post-industrial juke core, anyone? Anyone! Pyn drops the mic for the second cut in favor of sampling / chopping / screwing / etc. Subsonic throb, synth blasts, noise fuckery, and delayed beyond recognition samples comprise 120 lessons in Strinth. I dont know shit about The Nation Of Gods and Earths Book of Knowledge, but thanks to one of the barely audible samples, I now know that A set of 120 shouldnt be online...You need an enlightener to teach you 120 lessons...Thats a fact! WTF? Maybe Griffin is our enlightener. Thanks to a quick Wiki search, I also found out that the Nation of Gods and Earths (aka Five Percenters) coined the terms sup, G? (originally G means God, not gangsta), Word is bond, Break it down, and droppin science. Damn. Hows that for a weird history lesson? I can get down with that kind of language and, furthermore, I can get down with anybody who samples Five Percenters from Youtube. BTW, SICK artwork by Eighty-five Percenter OTTO SPLOTCH, Sewn Leather is droppin science. Are you picking it up? I am." -Lance, Permanent Records. Numbered edition of 250 copies.
