Anacron- Get Stoked!

Unsung heroes. You might read about them on page six of the newspaper or hear about them on the 4:30 am newscast, but, unfortunately, their capes never get to shimmer in the limelight for long.

After 15 years of rapping, singing, writing, producing, composing, DJing, breakdancing, and arranging classic Los Angeles hip hop, Anacron is preparing a heroic 2011 and feels that this is the year the unsung hero makes the front page and 6 o'clock news; this is the year where the hard work pays off and the underground "legends" become common lore.

As he awaits the release of his solo LP on Delicious Vinyl, Anacron plans to release four EPs in 2011, each produced completely by a fresh new producer to the underground game. "My goal in 2011 and the future is to begin exposing the world to new underground talent." Anacron told us in a recent email. "I feel that hip hop has become a mainstream of it's own, showing love and props to the same people over and over while new guys have such a hard time getting in and getting love."

Until Anacron begins to bless us with material from his new EPs, we bring you a video/single from 2010 that we overlooked in Get Stoked! The song was originally supposed to be on a solo album set to release in 2010, but instead will be featured on a forthcoming collaboration EP with Denmark producer KV Beats (who we covered earlier this year).  You can peep both the stream and video below.

Stay tuned to WhiskeyTeeth for more Anacron music (especially New Years Day). You can also familiarize yourself with an LA legend on his website, bandcamp, and twitter. If you aren't familiar with his catalog, get to youtubin' with this. The Netherworlds (Murs, Himself, Anacron) album is still my shit.
