Magnolia Shorty - Gone But Not Forgotten (2010)

 

Artist: Magnolia Shorty
Album: Gone But Not Forgotten
Location: Baton Rouge, USA
Genres (Primary, Seconday, Influence): Bounce, Southern Hip Hop, Gangsta Rap
Year Released: 2010
Date Refound / Posted: n/a
Format(s) Released: Mp3-via-Datpiff

Explanation: Magnolia Shorty was a bounce rapper based out of Lousiana. In the early 2000s she was an aspiring rapper who came under the wing of Birdman and Cash Money Records. While she had begun to gain popularity it was cut short when she was murdered just outside her apparentment, shot to death. There were several arrests made and two people were eventually convincted and are currently in prison.

On the same year as her death this mixtape appeared. Because it was added to RYM prior to the Bootleg section I had assumed it was an official mixtape made by friends of family of the late emcee.
This is not the case. This was a bootleg made by some DJ Calvin as a tribute to her. It features several remixes of her songs and acts as a DJ set as well. After finally hearing it after all these years it's not for me. I figured it would be a little more conventional hip hop and not so loud and 'bouncy'. It's an alright tape for what it is. May she rest in peace.

Reasons for Disappearance: So as it turns out this likely wasn't lost for a long time. It was just mis-added to RYM and impossible to find based off that information. It also doens't help that I wasn't really looking for it as hard as I could have been.

RYM user, Souljalilrude was able to supply the Datpiff link this was originally at. Based on the absolute mess of the tags on the Datpiff link it shows that searching for this on the site would have been hard too. There's also no telling how long Datpiff has to live so I'm putting up an alternate link with the proper tags enabled.

Chad Warden - Fructose (2014)

Artist: Chad Warden Album: Fructose Location: Austin, Texas Genres: Instrumental Hip Hop, Cloud Rap Year Released: 2014-11-01 Date Re-Found / Posted: 2023-09-08 Format(s) Released: Bandcamp Explanation: I'm not sure how I should start this. This isn't an easy post for me to write. I'll start off with how I know the artist. Chad Warden, more commonly known as Reverend JKN was a rapper and producer based out of Austin, Texas. I had first heard of him back in 2015 when he dropped Fringe. I saw it mentioned in a Reddit comment, checked it out and liked it. Didn't really much follow JKN after that. I added all his stuff to RYM of course, but never checked it out further. I like his rap stuff and aside from Fringe he didn't make any. He sort of slipped through the cracks in my radar. My second time listening to him was in 2020 when I was going through old artists I had added. Remembered he had his instrumental Chad Warden project and decided then would be a good time to l...

Knowself - Mind Controlled, Automaton Conformist, Ego Enslaved, Manipulated Materialistic Robot, Indoctrinated Pawn Fool World (2010)

Knowself is a Canadian emcee known for his extremely political and occasionally conspiratorial bars. He has a speedy and incredibly dense flow leading to his bars sounding like water shooting out of a fire hydrant, the listener trying to graps everything firing out.  Lyrics revolve around blunt political statements and incredibly ironic and occasional humourous lyrics. This can even be found in the track title with two songs being called 'Cyber Sludge, Mechanized Slaves, Social Engineering, Weather Modification and High Frequency' and 'Critical Like Alfred Korzybski' and another song called 'Cee!!!!!!! Takes a Long and Painful Crap'. This album in particular has some of Knowself's fasted rhymes. This album was previously distributed via CDBaby and became lost media when CDBaby shut its service down. Knowself has not been active since the mid-2010s so any chance of re-issuing this is slim to none. This was recorded back in 1999 but never saw release until 201...

With a cavalcade of albums across different aliases, the founder one of the largest vaporwave labels in history (DMT Tapes FL with over 1K releases out) to becoming one of the most accomplished and in my opinion one of the greatest vaporwave artists of all time. Before he had an epiphany and entered the vaporwave movement he was an electronic musician who blended slowcore, hypnagogic pop, the blogspot scene and more into these emotive and depressive releases. From about 2008 to 2012 he relased a bucnh of these records. The Island is one of them. It was a fusion of different styles with some tracks featuring Vito playing guitar and singing with reverb and stuff, some indi...
