Substantial Live in Copenhagen, Denmark (Video)

Here’s a clip of Substantial live in Copenhagen, Denmark performing a few choice cuts. And in case anyone is wondering, the playlist is as followed: Favorite Things (Sacrifice, 2008), his verse from Inverse’s Spark My Soul (So True EP, 2009) and the a capella comes from his appearance on Nujabes’ Think Different (Metaphorical Music, 2003). Keeping it QN5, those in the ATL area should definitely help celebrate the release of Mr. SOS’s How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. Flyer (w/ details) after the jump…

Mr. SOS – Apocalyptic Doomsday

Mr. SOS is finally dropping his debut album, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, on June 2nd! Pre-orders have already went out (hopefully Tone comes through and I get mine this week) so if you’ve haven’t already, support support support! And since hip hop fans are so damn impatient these days, the good folks at QN5 have let loose of another track (and the tracklist).

Apocalyptic Doomsday is the introductory track to HILTSWALTB and is produced by Atlantian underground mainstay Ricky Raw (of DropBombz). Here, Mr. SOS gives a first-hand account of judgment day as the world collapses around him. In the context of the album, this is merely resets civilization and mankind’s need to dominate and destroy itself. This is fire and brimstone set to boom-bap in the most literal sense.

Eminem – We Made You (Chew Fu’s GhettoHouse Fix) f. Substantial & Mr. SOS

I meant to post this yesterday but you know how shit goes… Substantial & Mr. SOS jump on Chew Fu‘s GhettoHouse Fix of Eminem’s single. I’ll let the good folks at QN5 describe it…

Chew Fu is a serial fixer. A what? Well, he takes your everyday top 20 radio fodder and transforms them into scathingly hot dance-club grinders. Or in other words, he “FIXES” them.

Case in point, Eminem’s latest single We Made You. Here, Chew Fu unleashes a wonky synth over a shuffling electro-kick and subs. And if that wasn’t enough, he’s enlisted the talents of QN5’s own Substantial & Mr. SOS to lay into his frankenstein-esque re-animation. This one’s strictly for the club and late night’s in the whip – so if you’re chest isn’t rumbling, then you’re not bumpin’ it right.

It’s definitely some left field shit for me, but I dig it for the most part. Not something I could play every minute of the day though haha. While I’m on it, be sure to check out QN5.com as they have revamped their site and have done a great job in doing so. Not only are these dudes some of the most talented artists musically, most of them have a background in graphic design too. Something I’ve always respected.

Tonedeff x Mr. SOS (Video)

Earlier this week, Tone & Mr. SOS linked up for the incredibly dope single Bionic. Now…

Mr. SOS Week comes to a triumphant close as Tonedeff and the man himself sit down for an in-depth “catch up” interview via webcam to discuss his forthcoming album How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love The Bomb and all things Essoessian. Pre-orders are moving quickly, so we suggest you get yours before they’re all gone.

Do yourself a favor and pre-order the album now over at MrSOS.com. I’ve honestly never been disappointed with a QN5 release and don’t expect to be with this one either. Featuring production from Tonedeff, Quincey Tones, Beat Chefs and guest appearances by Cashmere the PRO, Zero Basement (Chapter 13) and Steph.

Mr. SOS – Bionic (prod. Tonedeff)

As I wrap up my evening I wanted to drop off the lead single from Mr. SOS‘ upcoming debut album, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, which drops June 2nd on QN5 Music.

Produced by Tonedeff, with a progressive use of synths and sampled industrial machinery to illustrate society’s increasing reliance on technology which is seemingly leading down a road to the loss of our humanity.

And since 4/20 is winding down (technically it’s already over) the good folks at QN5 decided to blast out an appropriate cut (also produced by Tonedeff) off SOS‘ previous EP, The Pre-Op. Hit the jump for the single artwork of Bionic as well as the album art for the album…

Mr. SOS – Arrest the President (Video)

I lied (as usual), more posts. One time CunninLynguists member* Mr. SOS has a special message about our current “leader”. Whether he gets impeached or is succeeded by another president, he will always deserve punishment for the crimes he has committed. - Mr. SOS

*Whether it was ever official or not, I still consider him apart of the group for his contribution Southernunderground.
