Album: La Planète Sauvage Tape
Location: Bensalem, USA
Genres: Lo-Fi Hip Hop, Library Music
Year Released: 2017-06-14
Format(s) Released: Bandcamp

Explanation:

Back in 2017 I listened to a lot of albums. I used to have a list on my page with a brief review of them all but that's since been deleted. Anyway, one of the many tapes I listened to then was this one by Jake and Bake Beats. He's now known as Jabbu but other than that I don't know anything about him. I remember the tape being adequate but never looked deeper into his work.

And I really didn't think about this until a friend going through my ratings asked if I had a copy since Jabbu deleted all his old work. I didn't but after some work between him and another person I know they managed to recover this tape. And here we are today.

It's a lo-fi hip hop beat tape that samples the cult-classic French movie Fantastic Planet. Never seen it myself though I believe it was the cover art from the movie that drew me to this release.

Reasons for Disappearance:

At some point Jabbu decided to change his name and erase all his old work. It's a tale as old as time. Since then he took this beat tape down and (to my knowledge) hasn't referenced it since then. I haven't listened to Jabbu's post-2017 work but I believe these beats are probably present on some tape he released after. Regardless here they are presented below for your enjoyment.

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...
