Neblina Readies Fear & Loathing Mixtape with DJ Resident
(Raleigh, NC, February 8, 2005) --- Just months after releasing Definition. The Hip-Hop Compilation, Neblina prepares to drop Fear & Loathing: Riding with DJ Resident, a fresh mixtape adapting its name from the late 1990’s movie.
“The idea was simple,” says
DJ Resident. “I wanted something fresh for the true hip-hop fans. The mixtape scene is flooded with the same material, same sound, same concept all just packaged up differently. No wonder they say the competition is crazy, everyone is selling the same product.”
“Watch for the mixtape to include exclusive contributions from
K-Hill,
Chapter 13, and
Manov War” says Hiphopsite.com. Collaborating with some of the best talent on the hip-hop scene for a well-rounded collection of exclusives, Resident has been building with
Supastition,
Splash,
Mercury Waters,
WhyOS, the
Artkitects and more. With Resident’s meticulous production on several remixes and original songs, stylish blends and added narration, the F&L mixtape is a skillfully crafted work – expect to revisit what true hip-hop is about.
“The whole joint is crazy… it really feels like you are a part of the movie, and if you’ve ever seen the movie, you know it’s nuts. With soundbites everywhere & flashy details throughout,” interjects Leo Jeffers, Neblina’s business planner, “this mixtape is the first of a new breed. Neblina always pushes the envelope and this is no exception.”
“I set out in a different direction. Music is about feeling and relating to something as well as being entertained. But so many cats are on the same vibe, I know people want more than just that narrow spectrum of music. It’s not pretty out there, but selling the same scene isn’t stepping forward… I’m a musician; I want to hear it all,” reflects Resident, “and that’s what I’m giving you on this mixtape.”
DJ Resident is the producer behind underground gems such as Dreams by
Medinah General and The Diesel Go-Off by
K-Hill. He currently resides in Raleigh, NC working on completing a decade as a radio personality and mixer of one of the longest running underground hip-hop radio shows in North Carolina.
