LACKLUSTER (THE BLUE MONDAY ANTHEM) BY GOLD SPADE


TORONTO, ON - The latest release by independent Hip Hop artist Gold Spade is entitled Lackluster (The Blue Monday Anthem) and is set to drop January 24th (Blue Monday).

With January 24th documented to be the most depressing day of the year, it was decided to make the single available for download on this date. The single Lackluster is a tribute of sorts to those living less then lavish, as it shines a light on the struggles of working class citizens in an effort to balance out the misrepresentation of wealth that is ever-so prevalent within today’s Hip Hop culture.

With his clever, lyrical word play, Gold Spade offers some food for thought in providing an alternative perspective to the far-too-common theme of money, cars and women which seems to have plagued commercial Hip Hop culture in recent years. Lackluster (The Blue Monday Anthem) was produced by C-Sol aka Peso Pesado and has been available for download since January 24th.

Pharoahe Monch W.A.R. (We Are Renegades) + Audio for Clap (one day)


Pharoahe Monch "Clap (one day)" feat. Showtyme & DJ Boogie Blind by duckdown

July 27th 2023:
Lieutenant Gaviston speaks of a recon mission in Kabul, Afghanistan where he discovers classified information that changes EVERYTHING that he believes about this W.A.R. This information is uploaded & transmitted through time. If you eventually hear this; you have been ordained or genetically pre-exposed to have received this information. What you will eventually hear is a WARNING.

These words are powerfully delivered by Idris Elba to set a tone for Pharoahe Monch's upcoming album W.A.R. (We Are Renegades). The material presented is a consistent message from start to finish with new epiphanies exposed after various sets of songs. The order of music helps the listener see the vivid stories that Pharoahe is painting through the use of his lyrics. The production compliments Monch's delivery & takes on a genuine art form that could easily stand on its own.

Live instruments resonate at the start & end of certain tracks, such as his title song W.A.R. featuring Immortal Technique & Vernon Reid. Producers Exile, Marco Polo, M-Phazes, Fatin, Diamond D, Mike Loe, Samiyam, Adam Deitch, Eric Krasno & Pharoahe Monch himself help shape the album into what will be Monch's greatest work to date.

Pharoahe Monch's vision for the album is supported with guest features that provide an eclectic mix of sounds. Fans can look forward to material with Jill Scott, Styles P, Citizen Cope, Jean Grae, Royce Da 5' 9," Immortal Technique, Vernon Reid, Phonte, Mr. Porter, Mela Machinko, Showtyme & DJ Boogie Blind. W.A.R. (We Are Renegades) is scheduled to impact in late March through W.A.R Media/Duck Down Music Inc.
