Track 6 off the album A New Suspiria released October 9th is a tribute to LA underground MC Ganjah K. RIP Myka 9 said , “Ganjah K was a chopper and street rhymer with an underground MC drive and an independent Hip Hop approach. He was a battler also a baller. He could serve an MC then go in the studio and make a hit. He was a very good friend to me on many different levels. He originated the ‘chronic’ popularized by Dr. Dre. He always had the top shelf marijuana and his music itself would literally make you high. He was an avid pool player and family man. His daughter and my daughter are born on the same day and year with similar names — Aja and Aasha — and we’re both Capricorns. We always got along and always shared mutual respect on a qualified level. He also knew it’s all love.” Got a couple physical copies I will send out for free. Drop your email in the comments for a chance to get one. Inspired by the 1977 Italian supernatural horror film of a similar namesake, A New Suspiria is Jade River at his best as a producer. His beats are a return to a bygone LA underground sound, laden with old school sampling, boom bap tempos and jazzy undertones. Myka 9, one of the original members of Freestyle Fellowship, proves once again why he has been dubbed the Miles Davis of hip hop, delivering his verses with his classic creative flow patterns and rhyme schemes that have helped create the blueprint to the sounds permeating hip-hop today.
