He's so dope

Man Plays the Horn still top 5 this year

Majority of KTT only listens to the same junk

i really love this dude and its a shame he never amassed a bigger following. when i first came across him years ago, i thought he'd have a LUM-like cult following trajectory but that just never materialized

I’ve been playing Dancing on A Wire 5 times over just now. Too hard

he fell between the cracks of hack blog rap where all the bandcamp tape label operators got caught being s***pests or alienated everyone cos they dipped and ran with vinyl money

really weird all the talents of that era are mostly memory holed but still have a solid 20k youtube view type following, always hoped cities would have produced for more of that peak sLUms crew era or ran a bit more like zelooperz but his s*** is still good so who cares

talking about bandcamp tape label operators its insane how that scumbag Ormolycka basically ruined an entire music scene almost singehandedly

ha yeah that's the main offender they thought they could pretend to be the next rough trade to launder money

they were too busy dropping noisey journalists into neighbourhoods to exploit on video when they should have been shining a light on that s***

New album out

citiesaviv.bandcamp.com/album/working-title-for-the-album-secret-waters + on DSPs

🥹 he's so cool

Samples are beautiful as always

This guy is 2/2 this year, wow

Wow he's flipping s*** I always dreamed of sampling, very SRS type textures but cleaner, more grown

What's the word on Ormolycka, never heard of this mf

@the_ghost_of_b_a

Can’t wait to spin this

Gonna tap in

it's a older dude from brooklyn who started this underground music label years ago, mainly selling vinyl & casettes. he was known for getting licenses early on to a lot of super iconic albums like LUM's MBTI/Oblivion Access (this was before Hundebiss, Hyv, & Fashionable Death) and Yung Lean's early mixtape run. Dude swiped up a ton of licenses from niche artists who got big through bandcamp & soundcloud in the early-mid 10s but was basically known for rarely fulfilling orders, ignoring customer support, and borderline if not completely scamming customers. If you google his name you'll see thread after thread on places like reddit just complaining about being scammed Dude almost singlehandedly destroyed the underground bandcamp/sc scene by kneecapping LP & merch distribution for a lot of artists who would have been way more popular (or better financed) w/ the right merch teams

loved the album that dropped earlier this year

Completely forgot about that c***

its nuts that guy is still active and parading out licenses from small artists he doesn't even actively have anymore. dude was still trying to sell LUM pressings like last month smh

Thanks for the information

How he still pushing licensing from artists that don't even have deals with anymore without getting sued

because it's all small artists who def don't have the capital or notoriety needed to sue him

Damn..you're right
Smh so he's just gonna keep doing this without anything to stop him...guess it's good at least that no one is going to him for new licensing

yeah infamously he even scammed death grips into getting a (real) license for Exmilitary on cassette in 2011 but then tried bootlegging their entire discog on cassette in like 2015 and didn't fulfill any of the bootleggers anyway i think he actually did get a C&D from Death Grips tho

Nooooo

MFs been wanting legit Exmilitary pressings forever

the real love him, and that’s all that matters but ik what u mean
