New Black and Blue Ink. Track, “The Five Card Saloon!”

MooN ShynE — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 05:27:37 +0000

Here’s a new track from the upcoming album, “The Lyricist Manifesto.” Shouts to MSP/STFU Producer Brian Bullion who brought the beat. When we first heard this beat, we immediately felt the Western showdown feel of it. K’s goal for the album is for the songs to be short and to the point, and that every second of a song must be significant. No BS intros or outros, or fading out. So for this particular song, we felt the need to make a scene around the lyrics, to give a feeling of two cowboys going into a saloon and playing a few games of poker, all this while spitting verses to the music that Brian (who plays the saloon music player) is playing.

More coming soon! Stay tuned!

Lyricist Manifesto = k-maculate’s thoughts

K-Maculate — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 01:08:15 +0000

Sup ya’ll,

I’m using this upcoming album, “Lyricist Manifesto”, to demonstrate my lyrical prowess. I feel the 1st Black and Blue Ink. self-titled album was our best yet, showing our skills in word play, punch-lines and imagery. Through rational thought, I’m trying to challenge myself to make the Lyricist Manifesto a piece of lyrical art that would supply mainstream hip-hop listeners a more enjoyable experience than what they are subjected to on the radio and in clubs.

I try to listen to what’s playing out there…like kanye, 50, the cash money crew, Dipset,Jay-Z ….what have you…… but nothing catches my attention like a powerful verse supplied by those rippers that I do listen to……. Canibus, jedi mind tricks, rakim, and some lesser known cats. I can put together a good verse that can show I can rhyme in my sleep. But what Moon Shyne and I are trying to do in this next album will be a real treat to the hip-hop fan. I often have lyrical bars coming to me throughout the course of the day. What I do is harness that power till I hit the booth and lyrical magic then occurs. What I ask is from ya’ll is to take your ear-muffs off and pay attention to the power of the Lyricist Manifesto!

God Bless, K-maculate
