Qwel and Maker find the beauty in the raw. One of underground hip hop's most dynamic duos return with the 2013 release of Beautiful Raw (Galapagos4). The two have remained on the forefront of the independent music movement for well over a decade, while constantly and consistently redefining their sound. Beautiful Raw is what it says-Beautiful Raw!The freedom provided by remaining independent as musicians and artists also places the burden of financing projects completely on the creative crew. This is where you the people come in. We have plans set for pressing limited edition cassettes of the album, vinyls of the entire album( two installments-the raw vinyl and the beautiful vinyl), and last but not least very dope videos.
The recording, mixing and mastering of the album is 100% complete, but in order to see this project bloom to full fruition, we need this campaign to be a success!!! We are in the development stage of our first ever official Qwel and Maker music video. We want to make this video with the same meticulous eye for detail and dedication in which we put into our music. Making a video worthy of the music and vision of the album is not cheap and most of this kickstarter campaign will be apportioned to its cost.We have amazing fans and are truly grateful for the love and respect that we have received throughout. We understand that nobody deserves to dedicate their lives to doing what they love. We cannot express how blessed we feel and how dedicated we are to making the art that we are so fortunate to make.
Kickstarter is an awesome bridge between the true heads and the artists to cooperate in creating projects. The way this thing works is, you can pre-order special packages which will arrive at your door by the album release(May 7th) and you will not only receive some dope limited stuff. But you will also have the satisfaction in knowing that you played a major role in making this project possible. JUST SO YOU KNOW THOUGH. IF WE DON'T REACH OUR GOAL.WE GET NOTHING, NADA, ZILCH, GOOSE EGG!!!Thanks for your time and consideration!Lets make this happen!!!-Qwel and Maker.
WELCOME TO ALTRAPA place to discuss, share and enjoy alternative rap and hip-hop.We have but one rule; keep the focus on alternative.If your submission gets caught up in the spam filter just give me a shout.Keep listening to music that moves something inside of you instead of what the radio feeds you.If you want to post your own content - please use the 'self-post' monthly thread stickied on the front page instead of posting a new link directly into the subreddit.Also, be sure to check out:.on. Hey Qwel,Thanks for doing this, you're awesome. I have a few questions. People often quote you as one of the strongest lyricists in rap. Which of your verses or lines are you yourself happiest with?
Like, any 'I can't believe I wrote that' type of stuff?. What's your favorite place in the world to perform on stage? At home, or out somewhere in the world?. Your beef with Eyedea is pretty infamous, did you guys ever get a chance to talk about it after that famous battle? Related, do you yourself have any type of recording from the event?.
I realize this is a tough one, but it's something I'd like to know and you can probably give me a better answer than anyone else. First I should admit I've been sleeping on you too much, the only joints I really thoroughly listened to were the original Typical Cats album and Owl (both of which were excellent, I had no idea hiphop could be so fresh, jazzy and free before the Typical Cats album).

So here's my question: Which of your albums should I get next?? I'm on a small budget so I'll only be able to get like two albums at the most; what releases do you think best represent you and your music?? Again, sorry for the difficult questionThanks and peace from Berlin, Germany. Where are all these people that quote me as being the strongest lyricist in hip hop?
Graffiti was my life for a long time.it was a good outlet for aggression and rebellion i had welled up as a young man.the feeling of belonging to a hidden world with hidden meanings.the loyalty and ride or die part of a crew is something that most young men crave at some point in their youth.the scene found me.i dont really know where it sprang from.im a buch better emcee than a graf writer on the real though.northside cubs man.just on the strength.i dont really get into baseball like that though. This 3rd album has been in the talks for a good while. Probably ever since civil service dropped. But we really didn't get cracking on it until maybe mid 2011.
Possibly a little earlier. As for first diving into it. Slick rick and listening the doc inspired me to write but i didn't make it known til i did a talent show back in 93. I was booed viciously. I was pissed and swore that i wouldt let it happen again.
I did another talent show later that same year. Got booed viciously again. I swore i'd never let it happen again. I did another talent show in 94. I killed it hard and finally got all the cheers and i've been addicted to it all ever since. Qwel, you're one of my greatest lyrical inspirations.A lot of your work has pretty dark themes to it, I'm thinking songs like 'Blood from the Stone' and 'Vincent Van Gogh Coke Ad' (which coincidentally both come from Dark Days haha). Is there a specific event in your life which influenced your writings in this way?
You could say the same about a bunch of other dope hip hop artists, do you think depression is influential to a rapper's career?Also, did you decide to start a Kickstarter campaign after seeing Sole's success?.

Their intention is to illustrate the role played by the structure of Euclidean spaces, particularly the action of translations, dilatations, and rotations, and to motivate the study of harmonic analysis on more general.

Offwhyte.Offwhyte (born Ryan Fernandez on August 22, 1977 in Pell City, Alabama) is an American rapper. He has released several albums under the hip hop label Galapagos4, of which he is a founding member. He resides in Los Angeles, California although he launched his musical career within the underground hip hop scene of Chicago, IL. He is known also as Offwheezy.Offwhyte's most recent release is Mainstay, his third full-length album, a work filled with charismatic philosophies, potent verbal imagery, and a wide range of musical styles.Offwhyte started performing in the late 1990s, spitting raps at hip hop parties and open mic poetry nights. He attended the University of Illinois at Chicago with his long-time friend Jeff Kuglich.
There they met a graffiti writer and painter, JASH of Chicago’s legendary DC5 crew. The three developed a friendship that would become the foundation of Galapagos4 records.Squints by Offwhyte was released in February 2000.
It was the second CD on the fledgling Galapagos4 label. URB (magazine) hailed it as 'ingenius' and the Village Voice described it as “free-floating intelligence”. Hip hop heads took quick notice to Offwheezy’s lyrical dexterity and untamed production skills. The classic CD has been repressed several times and is considered to be the album that broke the monotony of Chicago 'battle rap' that was prominent in the scene at that time.His second album, The Fifth Sun, was released in November 2002. The album was licensed for foreign distriubtion by British electronica label Peacefrog Records, and Galapagos4 followed its release with their first European tour. The Fifth Sun gained airplay on BBC Radio 1 and on many other radio stations across Europe.
Offwhyte has since embarked on several European tours and lived in Zurich, Switzerland briefly in 2004 to record the Crossing the Potomac EP with DJ Reezm and Justin Sayne. Ecid.At first glance most would think a skinny, blue-eyed hipster looking dude in a flannel with obnoxious Nike's to match, would be in a post-electro indie-band. But this is the 90's for the third time and one of rap's most exciting new voices, ECID, is not your average newsstand heartthrob.
In 2012, with the release of Werewolf Hologram, he saw his sound realized in a major scope. The album reached #20 on the College Music Journal's Top 50 Hiphop Albums of 2012 list among many other accolades. It was an album fueled by life's harsh kicks to the family jewels and a newly found passion for heat yoga which completely changed his creative DNA. ECID was shiny and new again.
Bleubird.Calling Bleubird an MC doesn't feel complete. Storytellers draw from varied impulses, and Bleubird's vision is oddly utopian. He takes mere observations, gift-wraps them and re-presents them as spectacles. It's the type of satire that can only be born of a wide-eyed-yet-wary appreciation of modern day landscapes and the people who walk through them.He claims (somewhat disingenuously): 'I hide behind my humor because it's truth that I fear,' but even in his darkest humor he betrays himself. Those who listen can tell that even at his most caustically comical and sarcastically potty-mouthed, it's all for love.
