To set this section and New Year off,
allow us to introduce you to the group called "The
FortySeven". Most should already know who Master Fuol is
by now? Ol' Dirty Bastard's Protégé who was also in the
same group with ODB,
12 'O' Clock and Poppa Chief
called D.R.U.G.S
(Dirty Rotten Underground
Grimmies) that never kicked off. More can be found on the
interview
we had with him in 2007. Since the release of his album
"Brownsville
Kid: ERAM" not much has been
heard from this Lyricist Lounge regular.
A couple of years back, I stumbled across
Master Fuol's new group called The FortySeven by
accident, and ever since I have been following their movement.
Late last year they dropped an album (most might not know
about) called "The
Day The Sun Bled".
So who are the FortySeven? What I do know
is that their album
"The
Day The Sun Bled"
was recorded in
two weeks (16 Songs) and it's apparently a "once in a lifetime"
collective as there are no intentions of a
follow-up to the group or this project.
The group
is composed of six members (2 DJ's & 4 emcees), DJ Illnaughty, DJ Remode, Master Fuol, Hochii,
Monk the Liverfish and Swiss Precise. They
are the answer to today's contrived flossy-floss,
studio-gangster, candy-coated rap music. The FortySeven
isn't trying to conform to the masses in the least;
they're as grimey as it gets in the way rap music used
to be.
Somehow, groups today have forgotten about hip hop from the
early to mid 90's, and the dirty, raw, esthetic sound it
provided but The FortySeven's mission at hand is to
deliver it right to your front door. They encompass the
grime and grit and are not apprehensive to get their
mics dirty.
Their sound is a much needed return to the days of hard rockin',
head-bangin' boom bap! Something that can be enjoyed by
fans who are into hardcore production and savvy,
in-depth lyricism.
The collective's individual accomplishments are enough
to comprise a book, but that's not important right now,
the past is the past and The FortySeven is now! Take
some time out to research and know more about this
group, Enjoy!
