Jonwayne - RAP ALBUM ONE JONWAYNE - RAP ALBUM ONE October 29, 2013 In the store | JONWAYNE - RAP ALBUM ONE Released today – double LP, CD, Digital. Jonwayne came onto the Los Angeles music scene by way of the east Los Angeles club Low End Theory circa 2008-09, then emerging as the epicenter of a new generation of hip-hop beat makers: Flying Lotus, Gaslamp Killer, Nosaj Thing, Kutmah, Daedelus. Fresh out of high school, Jonwayne jumped in with homemade rap mixtapes and immersed himself in the scene. "It felt like a golden age," he says, "it was very inspiring." He first became known as a producer, releasing the instrumental album Bowser (2011) – but it was his over-sized skill on the mic that caught the attention of Stones Throw's Peanut Butter Wolf, who signed him to record an album as an MC.  As Jon set to work on his debut rap project, he let his presence be known with a series of tapes: Cassette, Cassette 2 and Cassette 3. Each was unplanned, the releases prompted by Jon’s prolific output. And by this time even lawyers for the tobacco conglomerate Phillip Morris took notice of Jonwayne, serving him with a cease & desist notice for a cassette that looked like a pack of Marlboros. Jon Wayne is the MC/producer's birth name. The Hollywood cowboy, John Wayne (real name Marion Morrison) took his famous screen name from Jonwayne's great-great-great-great-great uncle, General "Mad Anthony" Wayne, a player in the American Revolutionary War. True story. Now Jonwayne's taking back the name - what goes around comes around. About the vinyl: The double LP edition of Rap Album One contains two inner sleeves with the records cut to play at 45 RPM. Playing the records at 33 1/3 RPM is the "screwed" version. Mass Appeal: Jonwayne's Myth Making & Melancholy LA Weekly: "One of the best rap albums of the year"  Los Angeles, October 30: Jonwayne record release party aka Halloween Party at Low End Theory.

Mixtape: Duppy Gun for SSENSE Duppy Gun's Sun Araw and M.G. Gingras put together this mix for the magazine SSENSE. When two dancehall producers cook up backing tracks that even they think are too weird, the only thing to do is take them to Jamaica. That’s what l.A. Production duo Duppy Gun did, and it’s working out well. M. Geddes Gingras and Cameron Stallones, aka Sun Araw, initially touched down in Portmore, Jamaica in 2011 to record with roots reggae legends The Congos... Read More Duppy Gun's latest 12-inch "Press Bookfa Press" has been released today.  Mungo's Hi Fi ft.
