Ciph Diggy - Unstoppable (feat. K. Gaines and DJ M-Tri)

New York, NY - Thursday February 11th 2010 - As if the city of New York being battered by a pseudo blizzard early this week wasn't enough, another force of nature rears it's head in the form of an, "Unstoppable", "Untitled Wave". Fortunately for us this manifestation of furious H2O comes in auditory form, the first of four singles to be released by Ciph Diggy of the group Sleepwalkas off his forthcoming solo LP (Untitled Wave; Release Date March 30th). This high power, sound surge produced by 2 Hungry Brothers, features K.Gaines (Sleepwalkas) with cuts by M-Tri (Emcee/DJ/Producer).

Tonight Ciph Diggy will unveil this new single to fans during Sleepwalkas' set at The Bowery Poetry Club (308 Bowery btwn Houston &Bleecker). The show called, "Stop Talkin Start Walkin" is hosted by Tah Phrum Duh Bush (underground Hiphop's hardest working emcee) as Respect Da God (Perverted Monks) headlines a tremendous line-up of special guest including underground Hiphop legend in his own right Afu-Ra. Also performing, Life Long, Jake Lefco (http://www.myspace.com/jakelefco), Sleepwalkas (http://www.sleepwalkas.com), Kats & Domer with DJ Smut Villain (http://freeicecream.net/). Music by DJ King Cut & DJ M-Tri.

About "Untitled Wave":

The "Untitled Wave" is a sudden change in thought, an epiphany without warning. It is clarity, that causes a ripple, affecting anything submerged. "Untitled Wave" harnesses the power of the planet's element 'water' in a non destructive form using sound as a vessel to travel and impact unsuspecting listeners. Similar to a disaster of nature, it will leave a lasting impression. A constant reminder to whomever has experienced or witnessed its occurrence.

Ciphdiggy, one half of the duo Sleepwalkas has commandeered a surfing board. His aim, to ride and control this overwhelming force, while disseminating information concerning what is to come. In order to prepare for this task it was imperative that Ciph let go of all personal limitations. Bondaries have no place, nor does the speech of skeptical naysayers, when securing reigns to control the essence of the, "Untitled Wave".

12 Days Of RazMas: Day 2. The Introduction - Spilled Milk - Top $ Raz

It's day two of 12 Days of RazMas and we're going to start from the best place. The beginning.The first track of an album should set the tone for it, right? Well let's see. We speak with both Top $ Raz and producer of the intro track Thinker, about working together and future collaborations.



1. What new challenges were you met with, creating your most recent release,"Spilled Milk"?

T$R: I faced the challenge of trying to be as honest as possible, yet still be relatable. At some point in recording the album I realized that it was more important to make music that people could connect to than it was to come up with the illest punchlines or catchiest party tune. I wanted to show people who I am as a person. I feel like although my first album was a valiant effort, it didn't exactly give you a clear description of who I am.

2. How did you meet Thinker (producer of the title track, "Spilled Milk" and "No Tears")?. What was it like working with him? Will there be more collaborations?

T$R: I met Thinker through my brother from another Kalil Kash. I believe the first time I spoke to thinker was through a Facebook chat. The first time we met was at Sin Sin in the lower east side. Before I met him I had my eyes on a dope track on his Myspace page for like two weeks. I knew I needed that beat for the album and if I got it it would be the intro.

It's great working with Thinker because he's extremely fast and productive. He understands the artist and really listens to them. There are a lot of future joints coming with Thinker. A few collaborations including, Ciph Diggy of Sleepwalkas and MC K~Swift, as well as some solo tracks for the next project. It's hard because every time Thinker sends me a beat I have an urge to make a new album, they're that ill, but he keeps tellin me to chill and just promote "Spilled Milk".

3. Mos Def on record said, 'The first cut should be the deepest...' Do you agree with this theory?

T$R: The first cut should definitely be one of the most personal. It's basically and overview of what to expect and an introduction to the artist. As underground artist on the come up we have to make sure that first track is a banger. We only get one chance out the gate. I know many people that press the eject button after the first track if it isn't to their liking. So I made sure I had a certified joint for my intro. Everyone that I've gotten feedback from put "Spilled Milk" near the top of their list as their favorite joints on the album.

4. What made you decide to work with Top $ Raz?

Thinker: After seeing him perform S.S.D.D. at "A Monthly Bondfire". I knew he'd be someone that I'd like to work with. I let Kalil Kash hear a few tracks on my Myspace page and soon after Raz reached out. One of the tracks on the page would end up being the intro and title track of his album "Spilled Milk".

5. How do feel about your production being the first thing heard when people hear this record?

Thinker: It's an honor and pleasure to have my track selected to set off an album that I enjoy listening to and would recommend for others to give a full listen to. I feel like it sets the mood for the "Spilled Milk" experience.

Tomorrow, "12 Days Of RazMas" continues with Day 3: "No Tears"...
