Neighborhood Suicide by Radius Etc

*Originally released on limited CD via The Secret Life of Sound (TSLOS)*

My official debut full length release.....I felt my city even with all the recent progression within various types of media, still wasn’t receiving the shine it so deserved; So, I decided to make an album for Chicago, and all the elements that make it up....I was also dealing with frustrations of being "limited" in Chicago. I lived in so many neighborhoods and felt like even though I was growing,I was still being boxed in. I was itching for an escape and also to see, create, perform and explore other cities. This album is a reflection of me. A personal journal/journey of Chicago, for a native and/or a newbie as well. Enjoy

"Neighborhood Suicide is an eleven track journey into the leftfield of the modern beat-maker’s laboratory. It’s a progressive sound with tight production and mean breaks. Throughout the LP you get essences of artists like; Four Tet, Blockhead, Dilla and Premier – but this is most definitely a unique sound. Each track is like an individual, beautifully crafted, futuristic soundscape. Rich in detail and with a story to tell, this LP will hit home hard with the introspective hip-hop listener." -Juslikemusic
