From Stones Throw.

Secondhand Sureshots is a filmed experiment in creative sound recycling. Dublab directors Bryan “Morpho” Younce & Mark “frosty” McNeill sent beatmakers Daedelus, Nobody, J.Rocc and Ras G on safari into L.A. thrift stores with orders to make new music out of five finds while the cameras filmed the whole process. The result is a mini-documentary about putting new life into old vinyl. Over 2 hours of footage, music & bonus material.

The CD is the original music created by Daedelus, J-Rocc, Nobody and Ras G for this multi-media project, plus a megamix by Kutmah.

The idea for Sol.illaquists of Sound started in 2002, when MC Swamburger (Asaan Brooks) began having weekly meetings and discussions in his Orlando, FL, home about not only music but also community involvement, spirituality, and veganism. A friend of his, producer and MPC player DiViNCi (Glen Valencia), with whom he had already recorded material, attended these meetings, and there the idea of performing around town arose, an idea that was realized shortly thereafter. A frequent attendee of their shows, Tonya Combs, came in on background vocals, and soon a friend of Swamburger and DiViNCi’s, singer Alexandrah (Alexandra Sarton), left her home in Chicago to join the band. Unable to satisfactorily categorize themselves, the Sol.illaquists created their own genre, FAHEEM (funk/astro/hip-hop/extraterrestrially energized message), which they felt more accurately conveyed both their music and their greater beliefs regarding spirituality, life, and love. After attending a Sage Francis show during his Fuck Clear Channel tour, the group met up with the rapper, which led to an eventual invitation to tour with him. Sage’s label, Epitaph, was also impressed with the band, and signed the Sol.illaquists of Sound to their Anti imprint in early 2006. Their first album on their new home, As If We Existed, came out later that year.

“I just got back from an amazing tour in France where I met alot of good folks, heard lots of great music and got lots of inspiration! I was especially struck by the DJ’s who played lots of great funk and party music which I love! I wanted to share some rare party joints in that style I’ve been involved with over the last year or so with some of my favorite mc’s.” – Rashaan

“An actual B-Boy Brainiac that will smack you out your mittens”

The Chicharones, composed of Sleep of Oldominion and Josh Martinez, have kept fans, tour action, sales, and respect during a 3 year group hiatus, between solo releases. Since releasing their last album When Pigs Fly (Camobear Records 2006), they have toured the world ten times over, collaborated with the who’s who of underground pop, released solo albums and become international celebrities. Back together, after a messy break up, the bromance is on and popping and at long last, the great Chicharones have returned!

Following the rich tradition of mixing hip hop balls with the shiny pretty ones we hang on trees this time of year (think Run D.M.C.’s “Christmas in Hollis,” Kurtis Blow’s “Christmas Rappin’,” and Bad Lucc’s “My Little Mama Trippin’ on Xmas”), holiday debauchery has never sounded more badass! Keeping with the spirit of thrift and a punk rock DIY ethos that Camobear artists have come to be known for, the entire song, from beat to lyrics and mixing, was done in less than 24 hours. The video was shot the very next day. With a shoe-string budget and on the fly production (costumes were bought from Goodwill, tags still attached), you can only imagine the amount of eggnogg that must have been consumed to pull off such an endeavor.
