Tonight was legendary.

SPANK POPS

Peas porridge in the pot… 9 days old! My bad y’all! My man Tap from the infamous Honor Roll collective sent this to me 9 days ago & I got caught up, thus, not puttin it up til now. ANYWAYS… ‘Beautiful Noise’ is the first single and title track from Spank Pops‘ new Ep coming out on Hella Records November 3rd, 2009.

San Francisco bred emcee Spank Pops & beatmaker Doctor J integrate for the rapper’s latest project, the 7 track EP ‘Beautiful Noise’ (Hella Records). Doctor J’s proficiency on the MPC provide the ideal backdrop for Spank’s cadent lyricism (“I love a beat that’s not for beginners”, he declares on the bouncy/off-beat “Why I Do This”). The pair are joined by Spank’s fellow Honor Roll crew members Trackademicks, Mike Baker the Bike Maker, Josie Stingray, and 1-O.A.K., all recognized Bay Area artists as well. If the golden age of hip-hop is where your heart resides, stay wise & do not miss this EP.
