Los Angeles MC Anacron has just dropped the follow up to his 2009 Facelift remix project, Facelift 2: Artofficial Attributes. Miles beyond the typical hip-hop "mixtape," Anacron employs his talents as a producer, instrumentalist, rapper, and singer to morph 12 previously crafted tunes into completely evolved (and revolved) interpretations.
Los Angeles underground mainstay Anacron has given us the exclusive to his inspirational 2011 jump off track "2011 (Believe)", which is the second internet release from his forthcoming remix album, The Facelift 2.
Following the theme of his previous New Year 2010 jump off track "2010 (Grow)", 2011 (Believe) serves as an audible advisor on the road to accomplishment. It's rare in this day and age to find an artist aiming to uplift and motivate his fans to achieve success, but Anacron does just that; intent on growing alongside members of the AnaManiacs movement. In Anacron's own words, "the journey towards your goals is much easier to bear when you have a traveling companion.
The track features the multi-talented musician remixing DJ Battlecat's "Enter the G-Spot" by adding his own vocals and playing the saxophone, grand piano, and drums on the track.
The download is yours below, as well as Anacron's previous New Year's track-- 2010 (Grow).
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.
