AED - Earthylrelmusic (2003)

 

Artist: AED / A.E.D.
Album: Earthlyrelmusic
Location: Portland, USA
Genres: Backpacker Hip Hop, Lost & Lofi (00s indie demo rap)
Year Released: 2003
Date Refound / Posted: 2023-06-24 
Format(s) Released: CDr

Explanation: 

AED (aka Anthony Demarco) is a rapper based out of Portland. That's about all I know about him. Based on discogs he's a member of the groups PeopleMoveProject, LesMoss and Headphone Party; and all three of those look to be one-off projects. I remember reading a bit of who this guy was years ago but I can't find that source anymore. 

I was drawn to it for the black-and-white cover, lo-fi appearance and the title. Earthly Realm Music? Sounds like some dungeon rap stuff. It wasn't. It was your average run-of-the-mill lo-fi backpacker stuff from the late 90s/early 2000s. I love the stuff when I'm in the mood for it and this ended up being decent. 

Reasons for Disappearance: 

Like other artists on this site, AED was never really well known. He seems to be semi-back and has an active bandcamp page as a member of the It's Future Time collevtive. However despite being around his older work remains out of print and difficult to find. So of course, I'm sure that he could just re-issue his stuff but who knows? Maybe he's got personal reasons to not release it. I wouldn't hold out on any re-releases. As per the current bandcamp page it refers to him as a ghost, sometimes existing, sometimes not. 

This was found and sent in by a friend of mine. He runs a blog too, so if you get a chance check it out --> https://ugfossils.blogspot.com

Hell this record at least has older ratings on RYM. He has records that are still lost; not even collectors can get their hands on. One5For is one such record. It might've been for sale on Discogs at one point for like 200 bucks.

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...

  Artist: Vito Genovese Album: The Island Location: Port Richey, United States Genres (Primary, Seconday, Influence): Slowcore, Post-Rock, Hypnagogic Pop, Blogspot Scene Year Released: 2010 Date Refound / Posted: 2023-05-28 Format(s) Released: Mp3-via-RYM Explanation: Vito Genovese is a legendary electronic artist. 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...
