Shadow of the Locust
(Jeremiah Dirt & Samuel Oxymoron) are playing the GRINDHOUSE in Sept!!!! Come out and represent lovely with us SBC & LA County!!! Our boy, Wut, has done a great interview with Christian Musician Podcast. You can hear/download the whole podcast >here<. Support Truth in Hiphop!!! 
the episode goes over:
And out of right field!--- Samuel Oxymoron has just released an epic EP project!!! the Middle-Aged Has-Been Rapper EP The album was concepted by a fanciful trip back to Sam's upbringing in Hiphop as he reminisced on his good ol' days of late 90's rap music. All production features this heyday of urban mainstream, chopped, cut-up & mixed by Beat Somebody, in an elaborate audible display of completely entertaining Hiphop music! ~ Although the beats are not 'new' the re-versioned concepts are fresh and invigorating! Sam Ox's lyrical prowess & Beat Somebody's quirky re-envisioning layered over these classics makes for a completely heavy-hitting final product. Oxymoron definately soothes us with a thurough trip from fun (Buf-zilla), to emotional (Start to Finish), to revealing (Fight for You), to soothing (Pen Play) and insightful (Ready Writer). His counterpart on the project, Beat Somebody, provides a definitive twist on some well known classics (Digable Planets, Tribe Called Quest, Biggie Smalls, ect) that seems to perfectly blend new audio concepts into grooved-ridden hits, seating us right in the middle of before & next, then & now, yesterday & today. ~ Features: Hosea Noiz, Man o' War, ManCHILD, Jeremiah Dirt, Loose Enda, M AKA Muffin, Sojourn, Foreknown and more! ~ the album is friggidy-FRESH! The Album is FREE! Don't SLEEP ON IT! (click album cover or above title to get it!)

 What happens when you take two veteran MC's, throw em in a house together in the middle of the desert and leave em there with one of Hiphop's grimiest producers for 3 months?
the Serpent Dove is born! Dirt, Noiz & Beat Somebody are about to bring the drama to your eardrums! Starting with the idea to revitalize and update the rap and rock combo made famous by the likes of Run DMC and Beastie boys, Dirt & Noiz began with a few track concepts that quickly boiled over to a 12 song album featuring some great production from Beat Somebody and a slew of underground MC's and DJ's. "Once we started, we couldn't stop. We kept getting excited every time we finished a song and felt like we should keep going until the creative flow ran out." says Dirt. "Problem is that it never really did. We capped it off at 12 tracks but still have more ideas. So we decided to turn it into a full blown crew concept with future projects planned." Noiz adds, "Beat Somebody just has the mind for this kinda music. He draws heavy on on an influence from all kinds of music genres, and old classic rock, nu-metal and punk, are some of his favorite. When the producer makes the beats that you want to write to it, it just comes together seamlessly. the Serpent Dove is now a side crew consisting of these 2 lyricist that have already brought you classics in their own right seperately. These two have been long-standing close friends and partners in rhyme and their creative chemistry combined has been felt on a number of previous efforts. To put them on a whole project together is proving equally satisfying! DO NOT MISS OUT ON THIS UPCOMING PROJECT! They have posted an unmastered preview on their soundcloud page: Soundcloud.com/theSerpentDove voting for the their album cover is going on at: facebook.com/theSerpentDove The two SOTL vets have also launched new websites centered around their music careers and ministry efforts.
