I'll look into it.

Haven't heard him since his guest spot on Shawn Jackson's first LP.

Love his voice and presence on the mic.
2885892, check for him on SA-RA "Love Czars II" too

I will.

I'm about 5 mins in on this Soundcloud stream, though.. and this is really good.

He's still got it, and the beats are as raw as ever..

And that's on laptop speakers, too. LOL
2886068, yup... hasn't missed a step.

I got a few of his 12inch's under the name Lacksidaisycal, and his album under the name Lacks, plus that album "Lovelution" joint; I've been wondering what he's been up to lately.


2886180, I need that "Friday Night" 12" in a major way.
Posted by third_i_vision, Fri May-23-14 07:58 AM
Slept on it in STL many years ago and never saw it again. Might have to go ahead and cop on Discogs.

That and "….Is It?!" are the only tracks from that Breakfast Club tape that got pressed to wax, if I remember correctly.
2886229, That "Friday Night" 12" Is Pretty Cheap On Discogs
Posted by Dj Joey Joe, Fri May-23-14 12:36 PM
It's a decent 12inch, I mainly bought it cause of Big Tone & Dwele was on it, but you can get that on discogs for under $6 which is better than what I thought it would be.


2886763, sidenote: are you on Instagram?
Posted by MISTA MONOTONE, Tue May-27-14 08:35 PM
if so, follow me there & i'll follow back.

2886181, Raach is one of my favorites. Listened to this yesterday.
Posted by third_i_vision, Fri May-23-14 07:59 AM
BANGERS. The "Big Bang Theory" re-fix is probably my favorite after one spin. Looking forward to everything this guy has in store.
2886215, Bout Time. Shit

i'm a huge ta'raach fan and felt a bit underwhelmed by this 12 minutes of techo-ish tinged rap. Gimmie that El-O-Vee sound, Lacks.
2886724, i don't hear that at all
Posted by KennyFresh, Tue May-27-14 02:41 PM
"techno-tinged"?

this is some rap ass rap to my ears.
ruff, rugged and raw.


and i dig EL O VEE too,
but that was like 8 or 9 years ago

on the Big Bang Theory remix maybe i can hear that

but yeah, listen again when you get a chance
this is pure Raach -
pretty non-disagreeable for fans of his shit, IMO

2886825, I remember this guy from woe.is.me's second album.
Posted by Sleepy, Wed May-28-14 02:10 PM
He did a really nice remix at the end of the CD. I didn't even know he had put out any other work.
2886863, damn, i'm not up on that one
Posted by KennyFresh, Wed May-28-14 08:23 PM
got a link to that remix?

but yeah, look into Raach's work when you get a chance
he's got about half a dozen solo albums
+ work with J Dilla, Waajeed/PPP, Carl Craig;
an album with Blu;
production for Erykah Badu, Amp Fiddler, etc.

2886898, I can't find it online anywhere...
Posted by Sleepy, Thu May-29-14 09:48 AM
It was an unlisted bonus track on Wale Oyejide's "One Day Everything Changed". I just had the CD in the car yesterday.

Lacks used the beat for another song a couple of years afterwards. The best I could find was this snippet.

http://ughh.com/store/audio_player_store.asp?UPC=SWV0312&TrackNumber=2

Also, Ta'Raach was featured on the title track of that album.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzq4Zq5S_ok

2886981, ohhhh, Wale Oyejide!
Posted by KennyFresh, Thu May-29-14 04:55 PM
hahaha i was like "who is woe.is.me?"
good ole Science Fiction

yeah TaRaach used that beat for his song "Hey!"
that shit is a classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlLalX07JTI&feature=kp

Raach really is rappin' his ass off and the beats cotdamn

"City", "Reminisce" and "Frek" are some of the 8+min of rap this year.

I wish I had those tracks alone to i could hit repeat.

really great LIL project
