Mello Music Group producer L’Orange and Jeremiah Jae are teaming up to release The Night Took Us In Like Family on April 21st. “Ignore The Man To Your Right” serves as the first single off the collaborative effort, and it’s only right that Homeboy Sandman unleashes that lyrical wisdom on the track.
If you needt o get more familiar with L’Orange, check out The Orchid Days from last April.
Deep kick drums, ticking hi-hats, irregular rhythms, a spatial Moog filter, and Victrola static all over golden age vocalizations combine to provide the black & white soundscape over which Chicago emcee Jeremiah Jae delivers deadpan lyrics. Stones Throw spitter Homeboy Sandman ties his verbals to the track on the second verse to complete the unsettling song.
Taken by itself L’Orange & Jeremiah Jae’s singles leave listeners adrift in an undefined world of prohibition rap – an artistic Hiphop version of 1930s gangster films. But as fans of L’Orange already know, making sense of the story as each piece of the puzzle unfolds is part of the experience.
