INTERVIEW AND MIXTAPE FOR LIFEFORTHEFUNK.COM →
We might be going out on a limb here, but it feels like 2011 was the first time hip-hop producers started being considered “artists” in their own right. That is, not just as producers, but as actual musicians. For decades hip-hop instrumentalists have played behind the scenes roles in the creation of rap songs, resulting in the rapper gaining all the praise. This past year though, producers have...

tanakaruleseverythingaroundme:
俺らのkonyagatanakaがVincent Radioで披露した『Fuwari Mix』でその世界観を知った人も多いと思う今USのシーンで最もFRESHでの新しい流れの1つ”Cloud Rap“。その中でもグイグイ頭角を現しているラップデュオ Main Attrakionz の作品群で、特に異彩を放つ独特のエモーショナルなトラックを奏でるプロデューサーが Friendzone だ。 …

For the most part, Bay area production duo Friendzone’s Kuchibiru Network 2 mixtape forefronts instrumentals by the sort of producers usually found in parentheses on Main Attrakionz releases. In addition to the tape’s creators, who produced the immortal Perfume-sampling cut “Perfect Skies,” Kuchibiru includes increasingly familiar M.A. alumni like Marlee B, Julian Wass, Silky Johnson and Ryan...

Ah yes, “cloud rap,” the sound that took the collective music blogosphere by storm (no pun). If you haven’t had a chance to dive into the ethereal, dreamy soundscapes that have formed around the likes of Main Attrakionz, Shady Blaze, and others, now’s a great time to do so. Why? Because the production team of Friendzone has put together this comprehensive mixtape, Kuchibiru...

If you live in the Bay (or own a computer), you’ve probably heard of Oakland “cloud rap” duo Main Attrakionz via its breakthrough summer mixtape808’s & Dark Grapes II. You may, however, be less familiar with the visionary producers behind two of the mixtape’s most spaced-out, hypnotically chill tracks, “Perfect Skies”and “Chuch.” Allow me to introduce you to Oakland’s James Laurence and...

INTRODUCING FRIENDZONE (THANK YOU SPAIN) →
En toda escena o estética, movimiento o sub-género, hay grados. Escalones que diferencian una actitud de otra, que distinguen y diferencian los condimentos básicos, siendo los factores como elegancia, clase o sencillez, los más universalmente valorados en cualquier disciplina. Dentro de la emergente escena del Cloud Rap o la sección más sensiblemente influenciada por las texturas lo-fi dentro del...
5 producers changing pop as we know it →
“Friendzone is the creative team of young producers James Laurence and Dylan Reznick. Like Balam Acab, their sound is sluggish, subconscious, and haunted. Their work has primarily appeared as instrumentals for Oakland hip-hop prodigies Main Attrakionz, like on “Perfect Skies,” where MCs Squadda B and Mondre M.A.N. spit over Friendzone’s fluffy beats (Laurence and Reznick also produced the...
