Intricate Dialect – Horizontal

Dig this video for a few reasons of the top of the head.

  1. The song is dope
  2. The video is beautifully low budget and conveys a message
  3. It really speaks to the DIY ethic that I want to fortify in 2012.  ID didn’t wait for cats.  It looks like he just made it happen with this video. 
  4. It made videos important in my mind.  I have heard this song before but slept on it somehow.  When I saw the video it made the song complete.  Sometimes you have to speak through multiple creative mediums to fully convey your message.
  5. At the end of the day fuck the reasons though. It’s enjoyable to listen to and watch so just enjoy the shit and don’t think so much about why for now. lol.

Intricate Dialect Releases “Kemet”

Intricate Dialect Kemet album cover
The homie Intricate Dialect has been putting in work on the Michigan hip hop scene for quite some time now and recently released his masterpiece, “Kemet”. It is a concept album deeply rooted in the history and philosophies of Ancient Egypt. I.D.’s lyrics stick close to the Egyptian theme throughout the entire project, but are still relevant to modern-day struggles and ideologies. The unique subject matter brings a refreshing change to the current state of hip hop music and provides the perfect blend of style and intellect.

I was fortunate enough to have the pleasure of working on the Kemet album by producing two tracks on the album (Thutmose ID & Real M.F.) along with recording all of I.D.’s vocals. Producer, Shigeto provided the beat for the album’s opening track while Shady EV handled the production for the rest of the project. The album also features appearances from Tree City’s Gen Pop and Idski’s Abolitionist crew members Tenacity and Kadence.
