Strange famous are one of those labels that in my opinion can do no wrong, Sage Francis is one of my favourite human beings in the history of the world, his Vine videos are hilarious, his music is thought provoking and beautiful, B. Dolan is one of the most innovative performers I've ever seen, his Church of Love and Ruin is one of the most amazing spectacles you could ever hope to see. Now on to Buddy Peace, he’s been on the Strange Famous rooster for quite a while yet I've never really listened to anything he’s done, that’s all about to change since listening to this track. Featuring London beat man Buddy Peace this track is quite something, it tackles the commercialisation and consumerism now attached to music, Prolyphic has a great flow and Buddy Peace’s beats perfectly complements him. The most unique thing I've found about this track however is the way that the two artists are hundreds of miles apart, Buddy Peace is in London, England while Prolyphic is in Providence. The video features a delightful old man wandering along behind Prolyphic, there’s also a cameo from Sage Francis towelling off Prolyphic after an incident with a cup of water. From what I can tell these two are the perfect combination, they remind me of a sort of transatlantic Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip. All in all this is another fantastic track from one of the best small labels around at the moment and has really enticed me into buying the album.
