QN5 Music

Cradle Orchestra (If it hasn’t already happened). For those that don’t know, they’re a smooth Hip Hop / Jazz production group from Japan that rely on live instrumentation in their work.

I’ve just got done listening to their new album, Velvet Ballads, and this album is beautifully produced. I think their style of production would work so well with Stan.

A collaboration definitely needs to be looked into haha

- That is all.

i second this….when i first heard the album i was just waiting to hear stan’s voice pop up but to no avail…MAKE THIS HAPPEN IT’D BE PERFECTTTT

Haha I read this on twitter.

Can I say dream come true?

damn. i am SO excited for this. i am such a sucker for live band hip-hop…add QN5…i must be dreaming

ha! that’s cool that you actually hooked up with those guys. they’re grrrrreat

I’ve got a couple beatmakers’ names from the DC area (i think…) Oddisee and Damu the Fudgemunk. Oddisee’s instrumental album called Travelling Man is brilliant, as is Damu’s collab with Boston rapper Insight as Y Society called Travel at Your Own Pace.

sorrry for wasting a post but
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Cradle Orchestra is oh so dope

^ not really

Nujabes is so much better (speaking of previous ‘jazzy hip-hop’ Stan collabos), and I’d love to hear some new stuff from both of them in the future (haven’t heard any new material from Jun in ages now)

Cradle Orchestra is a bit to boring in my opinion, I’d rather listen to studio stuff as Cradle without the Orchestra.

umm speaking of collabs…

Emancipator!

another prodigy from Nujabes’ Hyde Out label, recently he released his 2nd album. dope electronic/hip-hop producer, if you like trip-hoppy, downtempo stuff, you’d love him.

and speaking of Emanc, Stan - have you ever heard of a guy called Sadistik ?? really really interesting MC, his first album was produced in 90% by Emancipator, check his single:

I can bet you’d love this beat.

sorry for all the typos from previous post, unfortunatelly I cannot edit it…

anyway, here are links to those two guys I mentioned:

I generally dislike comparing rappers and producer to another, but Damu production is fantastic, he’s like a modern day Pete Rock. The production on Travel At Your Own Pace was incredible.

^^Seriously needs to happen. As far as downtempo, Emancipator is unfuckwithable! Soon It Will Be Cold Enough <3
Not too big on cradle orchestra myself tbh, but they got some great stuff inbetween. I feel part of their problem is weak features- stan would def change that

i love both cradle orchestra and emancipator. and stan.

We’re working with Oddisee on Sub’s next LP.

Oddisee & Stan? An entire LP? I’m imagining Stan verses on any of Oddisee’s Season EPs and it just gives me goosebumps.

And an Emancipator/QN5 collabo would be awesome. I would imagine it’d be almost My Lady-esque.

i suspect it’s a few tracks at most, def not an entire LP.

Man this song is awesome. I never heard of Cradle Orchestra Before and this song is dope! Great collab!

Oh my!!!! This is much better than even imagined. I don’t know what to say…
Gotta go change my underwear -.-

Yup, just got Stan’s email about his new track. I personally think Cradle Orchestra can get tedious with too many repeats, but I definitely like this track. Good look.

Is that Sub singing on the hook? I’m lovin it.

Nice, it actually worked out fine, even though I don’t remember hearing You sing before?

^ The “Star Child” chorus.. and probably some other recent stuff I can’t think of.

Keep it up, Stan. [thumbs up]
