FALSIDE: Making The Rest Of Us Look Like Assholes.

PDP's Falside continues to make musical moves at a thunderous pace while the rest of us exist as ghosts on the periphery. Makes the organization look good, sure, but if we were a team of team players we'd be rich by now. Or at least flush with hepatitis.

There's even more than we've listed below, but you can check those out at his newly revamped Falside.com. For now, a brief, envious and begrudging look at the latest maneuvers by the young superstar:

FALL, STAND THE FUCK UP: Falside's new beat tape.


Friends, Fans, and Family – First off, I love all of you. Second – I am continuing my seasonal beat tape series with a brand new installment. “Fall, Stand The F*ck Up” will be available on Tuesday, November 16th, 2010.

“Fall, Stand The F*ck Up” will be substantially different from my previous beat tapes. This means less of that boom-bap Spacey and more of that juicy Gary Busey. I have incorporated all of my many styles including Dub Step and progressive, experimental, and vivid synthetic themes.

I am following my formula, and keeping my promise of FREE seasonal beat tapes, so download away, burn for your friends, share, post, and stand out amoungst your peers! Below is the artwork for “Fall, Stand The F*ck Up”. I’ll see you on Tuesday,November 16th.

The beat tape will feature one remix. But I’m giving it to you now!

NEW SINGLES with Rite Hook, PackFM, and RADIx

Boston wordsmith Rite Hook lands another punch with his newest single "King On The Throne" produced by Providence, Rhode Island's heavy hitter, Falside. Intensity has always been an understatement when describing Hook's delivery, and Falside provides just the right amount of energy this time around. "King On The Throne" is yet another potent single intended to prepare you for Rite Hook's upcoming album dropping later this year.

CAS UNO: Sticks Out Like A Sore Thumb.

There's little doubt that if you've been to a PDP show over the past 5 years, you've experienced Cas Uno of Labeless Illtelligence. Whether its been when he's (sometimes quite literally) tearing apart the stage, downing brews by the billion at the bar, or holding court outside schooling the uninitiated on the finer points of his vast network of CASpiracy theories, he's been a consistent, strong, and welcome presence in our Poorly Drawn lives.

And he's got a new record for you.

His latest CD is Sticks Out Like A Sore Thumb, and he has announced that it will be his last proper solo album. He was good enough to invite a good chunk of PDP to the farewell party, as Storm Davis and Reason make appearances on the mic and Dox handles production on numerous tracks. We urge you to pick up this album without hesitation. It's dope, and definitely the most consistent and accessible Cas Uno project to date.

Here's the science from Cas himself:
Pardon the delay. Especially with the build up. I got caught up these last 3 days and tried pretty damn hard to get everything all set before being loud with the release....

IF? you click the cover above, our pals at ughh.com have it up for presale (even though they are holding now and will ship upon purchase).... Or you can paypal we at: illtelligentwreckkids@yahoo.com to cop directly from we....

We'll get this out to the bloggers, magazines still existant, websites, web stores, and physical locations in the coming days.... But bottomline; It's here fams. It's finally here....

Support the song saga that is we selling sh!t, suckas.
Peace.
Also, once you've copped the disc, make sure you check out Cas' super-thorough song-by-song breakdown of the album at the Labeless blog here.

R.I.P. Eyedea (1981-2010)


If it weren't for Eyedea, Educated Consumers would never have become a part of my Poorly Drawn People family. If it weren't for Eyedea, many of the friends & supporters reading this page right now wouldn't know who I am. If it weren't for Eyedea, this rap thing that I do wouldn't be what it is today.

Rest In Peace, brother, and thank you for bringing so many great friends and family members into my life.

Please click here and give what you can to his memorial fund.

FALSIDE: October Update

Lil bro and PDP producer emeritus Falside has dropped knowledge regarding his latest comings and goings:

Whats the word internerds? The month of October has been nothing but productive. I am currently neck deep in unreleased material bound to make you heads nod. I’ll start off with announcing the title to my album, (yes my album). Dusty Knuckle Fan Club (D.K.F.C.). This will be my first official release/full length producer compilation featuring a culmination of artists from coast to coast. As of now, I do not have a release date, but rest assured it is on it’s way to completion (so keep it on your radar). For now, I can let you know that Jeru the Damaja, Stalley, Planet Asia, and Copywrite have all contributed DOPE to the project….but that is give or take 35% of the suprises in store.

Along with the release of Dusty Knuckle Fan Club I am working on a free mixtape with Undergroundhiphop.com that will be a freebie bonus disc included with Dusty Knuckle Fan Club. In the upcoming month, I will be leaking two or three songs from the mixtape on the interwebs (most notably, a fire record with Pack Fm and Radix, another with Canada’s grindhorse Noah23, and other gems with Lo-Life Meyhem Lauren and Queens wordsmith, Action Bronson).

On the home front, Reason (Poorly Drawn People) and myself will be announcing the release of our Free EP (Death Before Decaf). This is a collection of dope records we have completed over the summer/early fall months. More information on that project very soon. Rite Hook and myself also have some new kush brewing ready to fuck you in your ear drums. I am contributing to many upcoming Poorly Drawn Peoplereleases (Million Dollar Dumpster Mixtape) and a collaboration with fellow PDP REC family, Educated Consumers.

You will not be able to avoid that promo onslaught once it begins.

That’s that, for now.

-Falside

People We Know.


A few weeks back, Dirty Hank released a digital EP called I Might Need A Doctor that featured Storm Davis on the track "Burning In Water." If you missed it, its now the Featured Download at ZebraIsFood.com, a blog that's shown a healthy grip of PDP love in the past.

Now, Hank is offering one of his previous digital EPs, Dirty Hank's Guide to Giving Up, in hard copy CD format for your collecting pleasure. Here's what he says:
Nothing special here, slim cases, cd-r and a shitty printed label. But they come directly from me and I include a personalized death threat with each order. Stickers and other shit come with it too. they are 4 bucks shipping is free. they can reach me at this hankisdirty at gmail.com
Concise and thorough. That's Dirty Hank for you. Salesman of the Year.

The Guide to Giving Up features PDP's Falside on beats and Reason on rhymes. If you ain't got it, go get it.


Also, this Saturday night, Reason joins Dirty Hank to throw down alongside friends-of-PDP Labeless Illtelligence, Big CityBumpus, The ProblemAddicts, TroopRaw and Mic.Feen as Providence welcomes Michigan's One.Be.Lo to the City Cafe. Details can be found here.

PDP: Stuff & Thangs.

Long time no update. Or, a month, anyway. Here's some of what's been keeping your favorite Poorly Drawn Peoples and their associates busy:


Last Saturday night, under the stars and adjacent to a beer tent filled with the first officially drinkable Narragansett beer (called "Fest," appropriately), Storm Davis, Reason, and Dox took the stage at the Rocktucket Block Party in Pawtucket, RI and made a whole bunch of new friends as we filled a half-hour with hip hop in an evening otherwise replete with noise-rock and its offshoot genres. The festival itself got a thumbs up from the crew, with the roped-off block filled with trendy cuisine-du-jour food trucks and universally happy drunks. And crackheads dancing with canes and finger-dancers on LSD. Our type of party. Many thanks to the Rocktucket organizers for having us.


The previous Wednesday, Cas Uno and Esh the Monolith of Labeless Illtelligence had Storm & Dox up to the House of Blues Boston to perform for the post-Fenway crowd. Labeless' Intrikit and his crew D.I.M. also contributed to the spectacle, and SD fell in love with a painting of an alligator by an artist named Jane McCord that hung over a booth in the pub area. It was appropriately titled "Alligator," and he regrets not snapping a picture of it. So many lost opportunities in this here rap game.


Dirty Hank, the Kato Kaelin of the PDP Universe, released a free 4-song downloadable EP called I Might Need A Doctor, featuring Storm Davis on one track and the sultry tones of Reason making some noise on another. Here's the official write-up for the project, plus a link to download the tunes:

“Providence, Rhode Island rabblerouser Dirty Hank is back with his second release of the year, “I Might Need A Doctor.” This short project is a follow up to his critically acclaimed EP, “The Guide To Giving Up” (a collaboration with renowned producer Falside).

After being placed on medical leave from work due to acute anxiety, Dirty Hank Chinaski mustered up enough energy (after many therapy appointments) to link up with producer MadPlaid to record 4 brand new booze-soaked, mania-steeped joints. Storm Davis of the Poorly Drawn People collaborative makes an appearance on “Burning In Water” and sidekick Reason (PDP) sneaks his way onto Hank’s “Gluten Freestyle” jammy.

The summer may be over, but, uhhh….fuck it, I can’t come up with anything clever to end it with. Download, share and enjoy. Hams!”

Labeless boss Cas Uno has a new solo album on the horizon, and has leaked the first single, "Sticks Out Like A Sore Thumb." The title track is produced by Deto-22 of Phenetiks and features Esh the Monolith on the hook. Check it:

CasUno - Sticks Out Like A Sore Thumb

The full-length features appearances from PDP's Reason, Dox, and Storm Davis, among many others. We'll be sure to put you on to any other info as it comes, and let you know when it drops.



Dox continues to help alcoholics start their week off in their customary fashion at Clean Living every Monday night at Local 121 in Providence. Also a completely viable spot for watching Monday Night Football. See and be scene, all in one spot. Handy.


Reason has been making art. Click here to check it out and fall in love all over again.


Falside has been prepping for his producer showcase set at the Western Front in Boston on October 7. And doing a million other things, cuz that's how he rolls. You can get the scoop on alladat at Falside.com.


Entity has teased us with a leak from his 7-years-in-the-making album Second Wind called "Goodbye." It is unlike anything you've ever heard from the PDP camp, and a sound only Entity could provide to you. To listen and get your free download, check out Entity's Bandcamp site here.

What else? Work continues on at least a half dozen PDP-related projects that we'll get to you sooner or later, with Falside, Storm Davis, Entity, Reason, Dox, and Educated Consumers all involved in one way or another. But we've given you enough to read for today. You're gonna have to come back for that info when the time is right.

As always, we love you. Yeah, you.
