Free Album: Langston Bukowski (RacecaR & Apoc)- Down & Out in Chicago and Los Angeles

A few months ago I was singing the praises of Chicago MC RacecaR; an incredibly slept on talent that some might know as 1/2 of Modill alongside producer K-Kruz. Since his Debilorithmicos feature, I made it a point to keep in contact with him and all his musical endeavors, a connection that quickly paid off when this dope record hit my inbox-- RacecaR and Apoc's (better known as Langston Bukowski) collaboration album, Down & Out in Chicago and Los Angeles.

Featuring production from Earmint, Rel, and K-Kruz, RacecaR and Apoc trade vicious verses over a riot of electro spiked foundations. This is quite a different sound environment for RacecaR, who usually has his feet propped up on K-Kruz' dusty jazz clouds, but the dude was blessed with one of those Black Thought flows that sounds good over any type of sample or instrument. 

Peep two of my favorite tracks from the free album below and continue to get yourself affiliated with Modill & RacecaR by downloading it in full and checking the other tracks I tossed up. If you like what you hear, the full PHYSICAL version of the album (along with the 320 kbps digital version) is available to purchase for the gracious and meager price of 5 bones. Cough it up!

Sidenote: Apoc didn't get much love in this post, but it's only because he's about to get his own ode above in a few minutes. Stay tuned.

Racecar and I have known each other for quite some time now. Over the years, we’ve performed together, toured together and recorded a number of songs together. One of these songs, Langston Bukowski, appeared on The Ritz album The Night of Day in 2008. It spoke to the dichotomy between an urge for social change, and a tendency towards an almost nihilistic abuse of alcohol and other substances that we both felt was present in our lyrics. The song garnered such a positive response from fans, that we eventually made a video for it and began work on an entire album together as Langston Bukowski. This album is the result of those efforts. As reflected in the title, the songs were written and recorded in between tours in the cities of Chicago and Los Angeles, the respective homes of Racecar and I during those years. We recruited a handful of our friends to help us with the project including producers Earmint, Rel of The Ritz and Racecar’s partner in Modill, K-Kruz, who also recorded, mixed and mastered the album. We all hope you have as much fun listening to these songs as we had making them.
