Over the extended holiday season Dean Blunt has been uploading, removing, and reshuffling all types of material to the “cplnd” SoundCloud, all of it involving Joanne Robertson to some degree. On “Love Me Thru This” and “DEF freestyle” she’s a soothing background heartbeat to Blunt’s brooding synth headaches, but the real Xmas cracker is “50 CENT”’s tag-team lyrical dosey doe, apparently a “lost tape” meant for The Redeemer (TMT Review). Robertson also goes it alone on the Blunt-produced “X” single.
ALSO of interest is the just-uploaded video “[1080 HD] 2014” that again mentions A Bullet In Yr Eye, Throwin Money 2 Tha Sky, the presumed title of the next Hype Williams release:
[Update: video’s gone.]
Whoever ends up being involved in the sounds of that album (certainly feels more “Hype Williams” than his current solo output), its release will definitely not be handled by the group’s (fairly) long-time label Hippos in Tanks, as Blunt outlined in an emailed statement yesterday: “There will be no mo future Dean Blunt projects released with the label Hippos in Tanks.” No word on who did what or why.
2014! It’s a new year!
