"MC Bravado’s “Walk the Line” showcases an artist interweaving an iconic musician's experiences, outlooks, and soundscapes with those of his own, resulting in a thoughtfully crafted, well-executed conceptual EP that does both parties justice.
The album also features appearances by Blacastan, Zilla, Block McCloud, Demoz, Doap Nixon, King Magnetic & Lawrence Arnell. With the release of their newest effort, In Death Reborn, the Army returns after a four-year hiatus to release its fourth group album featuring the lead single/video for “God Particle” featuring Vinnie Paz, Planetary, Esoteric, Apathy & Celph Titled and produced by Stu Bangas. In its nearly two decades, AOTP has released three studio albums alongside countless solo albums and sideprojects from its lineup of emcees that have been some of the most critically-acclaimed and best-selling indie hip hop records of the past 20 years. With the release of their debut studio album The Torture Papers in 2006, the Pharaoh clique expanded to include accomplished solo emcees Apathy, Celph Titled, King Syze, Reef the Lost Cauze, and the Philly hip-hop duo and frequent Jedi Mind Tricks collaborators, Outerspace. Founding members Vinnie Paz and Esoteric were featured on the crew’s original 12-inch single, “Five Perfect Exertions,” in 1998 and remain with the crew today. Initiated in 1998 by Jedi Mind Tricks frontman Vinnie Paz as homage to the incredible rap crews of the 80’s and early 90’s, the Army of the Pharaohs has, from its outset, been an ever-evolving collective of celebrated emcees from the indie hip-hop scene. Let ‘Unicron’ take you on a journey of self-reflection and transform you into an entity bigger than you could ever imagine.
Unicron is available now across all digital stores including the De Facto Entertainment website and Bandcamp store. When you combine this with the thumping drums, sinister melodies and hypnotising bass lines from the self confessed vinyl hoarder Stealf you have a classic between your eardrums. Cappo brings his immaculate wordplay creating vivid imagery that sit deep in your conscious conveying a fresh imprint with every listen. ‘Unicron’ is a 5 track E.P including a special remix of the lead single ‘ SM58 Live Rounds’ from legendary producer Evil Ed. The consistent work rate combined with the deep abstract lyricism is why 'Cappo' is regarded as one of the greats in UK Hip Hop and 'Stealf' holds an impressive production resume which promises that ‘Unicron’ will live up to that reputation. It is now a word to generally describe full-length albums released for free, which is the modern form of mixtape that was made a popular following by 50 Cent and his group G-Unit in the early 2000s, sometimes containing all original music, other times composed of freestyles and remixes of popular tracks.'De Facto Entertainment' is proud to present ‘Unicron’ courtesy of Nottingham veteran 'Cappo' produced by boom bap aficionado 'Stealf'. In the hip hop scene, mix tape is often displayed as a single term mixtape. Also since the 1990s, it describes releases used to promote one or more new artists, or as a pre-release by more established artists to promote upcoming "official" albums. Blend tapes became increasingly popular by the mid-1990s, and fans increasingly looked for exclusive tracks and freestyles on the tapes. Ron G moved the mixtape forward in the early 1990s by blending R&B a cappellas with hip hop beats (known as "blends"). In the mid-1980s, DJs, such as Brucie B, began recording their live music and selling their own mixtapes, which was soon followed by other DJs such as Kid Capri and Doo Wop. (who later became known as Whiz Kid) and DJ Super V would create personalized House Tapes which would eventually circulate throughout New York City. In the late 70's into the early 80's DJs began recording mixtapes out of their homes, referring to them as House Tapes. As more tapes became available, they began to be collected and traded by fans. Hip hop mixtapes first appeared in the mid-1970s in New York City, featuring artists such as Kool Herc and Afrika Bambaataa. In hip hop's earliest days, the music only existed in live form, and the music was spread via tapes of parties and shows.
