Altered Zones

If you’re looking for a psychedelic hip-hop treat today, you came to the right place. Chicago’s Jeremiah Jae, who just put out his Rappayamatantra EP on Flying Lotus' Brainfeeder, has a playfully odd sensibility. He knows how to turn that into a tripped-out sonic delight. “King’s Bop” starts out dramatically, with a celebratory scream, and grooves on through with some Hendrix-esque guitar riffs, organ accents, blunt drum taps, and a vocal sample in an indeterminate language. Much like that of Low End Theory staple Gaslamp Killer, Jeremiah Jae’s music will get both the retro kids and the beat-heads into that special groovy place. --Samantha Cornwell, Visitation Rites
