New Leak from Breakup Music: “Funeral Groupies”
Posted Jun 06, 2011
I have a hard time being professional. (Hopefully that’s not news to any of you by this point.) When I get something done, I want to just send it out to The Fans Yo©. Instead, I’ve been cultivating about 5 different albums for the past year or so. Pretty much all of my favorite work I’ve done is currently behind the curtain of the Book & Snake show we call World Around Records. This track is one of the best.
Taken from my next album, Breakup Music, which is entirely produced by the sound mystic and beat painter Dr. Quandary, this song is the beating heart of our approach to love songs. We wanted to take a holographic approach, not so much a concept album...more of an LSD trip than a movie.

CHH: Why is your upcoming EP called Breakup Music? What inspired that title?
HJ: I know every rapper says this nowadays, but it was inspired by a Joni Mitchell song, Both Sides Now. I already had a track called Breakup Music done, but I thought it was too sneering, too cruel. People still need that, of course, but I wanted to balance it out. So I kept getting
more and more material flowing, hitting this universal theme of Love, Ending, and it evolved into a dope EP. Then, I suddenly and predictably found myself single at the beginning of this year. At the same time, a couple rappers I really respect heard the EP material and wanted to get on board, so it’s evolved into an album and we’ll be recording it all in March. Breakup Music is really a love letter, though, it’s not some morbid emo navelgazing sh*t. I’m trying to emphasize the growth, the change, the positive aspects of these horrible phases we all have to go through. It’s definitely the most complex album I’ve done so far.

“No Humans Allowed” - Louis Mackey & Thirtyseven
Posted May 10, 2011
She’s finally here. Me and Louis Mackey are getting ready to tour on this project.
We’re hella bookable right now: if you want to talk turkey. No Humans Allowed sets run 45 minutes, we can also build to suit from a large back catalog of material.
The live debut is gonna be at Aleck Woog’s Birthday Bash, which goes down in the unlikely venue of Vermont’s most infamous dive bar, Charlie-O’s. Which, it should be noted, has been serving good drinks to bad people since The Fucking Civil War. So that’s interesting. We’re going to have actual No Humans Allowed compact disc albums available for you to purchase, take home, and do drugs with. This will mark the first time in my hilarious failure of a “career” that I’ve had genuine product to sell, too.

The Sweaty Summer Fundraiser Party
Posted Apr 28, 2011
As usual, I am almost totally unprepared for the upcoming Bootstrap Theorem Tour. In a rare act of charity, though, DJ Multiple Sex Partners made me a deal: in exchange for promoting his Sweaty Summer EP, I’ll get to collect 100% of the sales. Considering I already bump this EP pretty often, this qualified as a genuine No-Brainer.
This is 7 ferociously funky cuts for $3, and you get to sleep easy knowing you helped make the world a more dangerous and less sane place to be in 2011. As someone who has frequently been broke and homeless, I cannot emphasize enough how much $3 can be worth. THANK YOU.
Note: Yep, there really are seven tracks on the EP. There’s 2 bonus tracks when you make the purchase.
