Our weekly segment Submission Sundays features the new highly anticipated collaborative LP, A New Suspiria, by ever-evolving Portland based producer, Jade River, and the iconic Myka 9, an undisputed legend of the Los Angeles hip-hop scene.
Inspired by the 1977 Italian supernatural horror film of a similar namesake, A New Suspiria is Jade River at his best as a producer. His beats are a return to a bygone LA underground sound, laden with old school sampling, boom bap tempos and jazzy undertones. Myka 9, one of the original members of Freestyle Fellowship, proves once again why he has been dubbed the Miles Davis of hip hop, delivering his verses with his classic creative flow patterns and rhyme schemes that have helped create the blueprint to the sounds permeating hip-hop today.
“Together, they have created a project that is a return to the foundations of hip hop with A New Suspiria.”
A New Suspiria is undeniably a return to the roots of LA underground hip hop. While Myka 9 has always been the godfather of the scene, laying the foundation for all those who have come after him, the partnership with Jade River is bringing the sound back to the forefront and back to hip-hop’s roots.
