Hell Razah - "Negro Angelitos" Download + Are You Cinematic? Contest 

Hell Razah And Nature Sounds Release New Heaven Razah Single, Announce Contest For Filmmakers, Music Lovers And Movie Buffs Alike


"Those steeples on those churches weren't built for nothin'. They are designed to launch." So begins Hell Razah's new single, "Negro Angelitos" (Black Angels), a haunting ballad off of his new record, Heaven Razah, out now via Nature Sounds. Having landed in the hospital in April with a serious health emergency, Razah has re-fashioned himself as a modern day hip-hop prophet, spitting spiritual wisdom about the apocalypse, the presence of demons, mortality, and the afterlife.

The song's chorus mirrors Razah's own rise from a place of darkness. Produced by Dev-1, "Negro Angelitos" is grounded in a spooky electric piano and progresses to include a reinforcing string melody, thunder claps and, because it was recorded before Razah's stint in the hospiital, an eerily prophetic chorus. "Look deep into my eyes, can you see my soul? Man fell from heaven 'till there's one hell hole. From this hell we excel and we rise again. Look deep into my eyes again. Black Angels."

Copywrite ft. Copywrite - Crooked Cop (Download) 

Man Bites Dog Records is proud to announce the release of Copywrite’s much anticipated sophomore album “The Life and Times of Peter Nelson” which will be released on November 16th, 2010 through Fat Beats Distribution.

Guests on "The Life and Times Of Peter Nelson" include Sean Price, Crooked I, Dilated Peoples, MF Grimm, MHz, Planet Asia and production from !llmind, Khrysis, DJ Rhettmatic, Camu Tao and two amazing tracks with longtime collaborator RJD2.

Its been nearly a decade since Copywrite released his critically acclaimed debut, The High Exhaulted, but throughout Copywrite has remained diligent, releasing a few EP’s, Mixtapes and the recent 8th Anniversary edition of his debut earlier this year to hold fans over until his business affairs were straightened out. Now that this process has finally played out, it enabled Copywrite to approach the creation of his sophomore LP with an open mind and he feels that the two years he spent working on The Life and Times of Peter Nelson will prove to fans that the wait will have been worth it.

With The Life and Times Of Peter Nelson, Copywrite made a conscious decision to share more personal events in his life and to open himself up and allow the many different sides of his personalities to appear. The varied styles and musical compositions on The Life and Times Of Peter Nelson go beyond the genre of Hip-Hop and display an artist who is much more than an underground emcee or a battle rapper.

Copywrite’s The Life and Times Of Peter Nelson has so many different sides and variations, so many different personalities and transitions, its as if each track peels back a different layer. The pain, happiness, fears and anger that we all go through is mapped out in Copy’s typical creative excellence. While it is very rare for an artist’s sophomore album to surpass the strength of their debut, in the case of Copywrite and The Life and Times of Peter Nelson this is one of those examples.

For his sophomore project, Copywrite recruited some of the most talented producers working in the music business today. Re-affirming his chemistry with RJD2, he and Copy create two amazing tracks (including the heart-felt dedication to his fallen friend Camu Tao “Forever And A Day” which also features Indie rock group Middle Distance Runner) and the album also features production by !llmind, Khrysis, Rhettmatic, Kount Fif, Camu Tao and Josh Gabriel (of the duo Gabriel & Dresden) who has headlined major music festivals as Burning Man and Coachella. Guests on The Life and Times Of Peter Nelson include Sean Price, Crooked I (who guests on the LP’s lead-single “Crooked Cop”), Dilated Peoples, Planet Asia, MHz, Motion Man and MF Grimm who add even more depth and diversity.

The Life and Times Of Peter Nelson captures Copywrite at his lyrical best and reaching for new creative heights. Tracks like “Bored” find Copywrite airing out controversies and half truths about his life through multiple characters and his sober reflections about painful moments in his past mark “Confessional.” Longtime fans will appreciate the lyrical exercise “Yoga Stretch” and his ode to Kurt Cobain, Biggie Smalls and his grandfather Cipione Mirabella aka Skip Nelson on ‘Wish You Were Here”.
