DJ Free Weed - Transit Tracker (GNAR098)


My latest cassette for Gnar Tapes, and first as DJ Free Weed. Mood music. Sci-fi future city concept about riding around in a train at night around a big city. Pretty stoned out but very glossy and sleek. Gnar Tapes been doing a good job of making these disappear so head over there to get it.

DJ Paul & Lord Infamous (GNAR BOOTLEG #1)

(GNAR BOOTLEG 001) DJ PAUL & LORD INFAMOUS


Before Three 6 Mafia there was Triple 6 Mafia and before that was DJ Paul & Lord Infamous. Early Memphis rap cassette bedroom recordings circa '90 - '94. Lyrically focused on marijuana, mysticism, and pussy with haunting and hypnotic production that is so blown out and intense, it's kind of funny to imagine that this would lead to a career that would eventually win DJ Paul a fucking OSCAR AWARD for Three 6 Mafia. Insane. But this music is a far cry from the cleaner and more clinically precise sound of his later work. This is rare and vintage outsider/regional/timeline-specific music that could be filed with any of the higher end historically based music compilations that end up in record store employees' and internet nerds' libraries i.e. Sublime Frequencies, Light In The Attic, etc. When they were creating this music it was truly new and brave and free and stupid and REAL.
