Breaking 2Bad - Buddy Peace remix Epic Beard Men

Released 19th August 2013



If you've read this blog before you'll already be aware of my borderline obsession with Strange Famous Records, you may have also read my review of Buddy Peace and Prolyphic's track Creative Differences, my excitement of such a brilliant track from two artists I'd never really heard anything past them being SFR alumni. Tonight while browsing Facebook I saw Sage Francis share a link to the new Buddy Peace remix, I was intrigued and jumped straight on, oh how I am glad I did. Not only does this track contain the brilliance of both B. Dolan and Sage Francis with a remix by Buddy Peace there's something else, Breaking Bad audio snippets. It's just an amazing piece of work that I can't really describe, it works in such a strange and creative way I was left open mouthed.

Creative Differences – Prolyphic and Buddy Peace

Video released June 3rd 2013

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.
