THE NIGHT SKINNY - HANDMADE GRENADE

The Night Skinny present:


Metropolis Stepson New York Edition

Distorted beats, razor-sharp rhymes, nasty cuts and creativity-filled states of mind, where innovation, experimentation and originality play key roles. Moments and elements often invisible and imperceptible for those who solely rely on mass-media information and don't dare to venture down into the deepest and darkest alleys of the underground.
And it's exactly in those mysterious fog-filled underground alleys that The Night Skinny lives and manifests.







Following up on the success of "Metropolis Stepson", a concept album that, as the title suggests, draws inspiration and force from Fritz Lang's all time masterpiece "Metropolis", and acclaimed and welcomed by pascionate reviews on magazines worldwide, the producer Cee Mass, alias The Night Skinny, further re-enforces the basic foundations on top of which the album was created, and dares to raise the bar even further with HANDMADE GRENADE New York Edition.

A 7 limited edition vinal guest starring special appearances of M. Sayyid & H. Priest (Airborn Audio / Antipop Consortium) and Vordul Mega (Cannibal Ox), and also featuring Italian turntablist extraordinaire DJ Tayone (Aliern Army, Videomind).

The New York Edition confirms the international standards and approach of the Milan-adopted producer who manages to bridge two parallel realities, two cities, Milan and New York, with an apparent common denominator, and takes the listener on an audio-visual tour that focuses on conceptual strength, original synth-driven sounds and rhythmic landscapes half way between a retro-futuristism and dream-like scenarios.

The evocative power of the Night Skinny's sound finds its natural visual transposition in the official video for the title track Handmade Grenade, a collaborative effort that sees talents of the international advertising world and independent video-production scene team-up and bringing creative ideas to the table. Under the overall art direction, coordination and strategic management of internationally acclaimed advertising agency Saizen Media, the direction of renowned Movie Director Massimo "Bod" Ciceri and Ale Formenti from Milan based production house Vision Film / Question Mark Ink, and the visual works of Paolo "Worde" Soriano and Adolfo "Prolifique" Pretorino, The Night Skinny crafts a limited edition (300 copies) double feature vinyl-dvd bundle that pays tribute to classic Italian 70s thriller cinema.

Beats, Rhymes and Life: The Story of A Tribe Called Quest

A Film by Michael Rapaport



Beats, Rhymes and Life: The Story of A Tribe Called Quest is a documentary film directed by Michael Rapaport about one of music’s most influential and groundbreaking pioneers in hip hop. The story is told by the members themselves as they reunite after two years during the 2008 Rock the Bells tour to deliver sold out performances . On the tour they re-discover that their own personal differences may overpower their love for the group, countless, hard-core fans, and its ability to survive the pressures of fame, the record industry, and simply pursuing other interests in life. Rapaport, himself a hard core Tribe fan from the first album, panics when Q-Tip tells him “ this could be the last show” after mounting tension erupted at the event in San Francisco. Thus, begins a journey to go back and appreciate the huge contributions made by Tribe to the “whole structure of hip hop” as stated by Amir from the Roots, one of the many artists in the film influenced by Tribe’s unique sampling and layering of obscure jazz loops mixed with hip hop beats, as well as their playful but clever lyrics. Chronicles told of songs like “Scenario” and “Check the Rhyme” paint a vivid picture of what it was like coming up in Queens as young folks living and breathing hip hop in the early nineties.

A New York native, Rapaport’s lifelong, genuine love for hip hop helps achieve intimate, all access interviews and cinema verite style filmmaking over the course of the 8 months of filming. Rarely heard stories told by New York’s legendary DJ Red Alert, Native Tongues members like Monie Love, the Jungle Brothers, Busta Rhymes, and De La Soul bring an intimacy to the days when young artists discovered the freedom of artistic intelligence, being who they wanted to be and refusing the box of gangster rap and negative stereotypes. Other voices in the film include the Beastie Boys, Kanye West and Pharrell. Serendipitously, Rapaport’s film brings forth a conversation for members of the group to deal with the trials and tribulations they have faced over the years. As Q-tip receives critical acclaim for his latest album, Phife is recovering from a kidney transplant and coaching youth basketball, Ali Shaheed is producing hit records and dj’ing across the country, and Jarobi plans to open a restaurant in Atlanta. The idea of getting back together and going on tour reminds everyone why Rock the Bells was an exception—only it’s the fans who are left thirsty for more. And this is nowhere more evident than in Rapaport himself whose die-hard love and respect for Tribe Called Quest is revealed in every part of this journey.
