about

It's been two decades since "A Prototype" appeared as a standout track on his ground-breaking full length "Who's Who?" LP in 2001. Anacron's impressively layered rhyme schemes and unusual song structure, paired with DJ Daze's complex turntablism and Alo's (Garden Family Circle) golden-era reminiscent beats formed the perfect representation of underground hip hop of the day. The tune was sought and placed as a key track on Activision's award winning soundtrack to Tony Hawk's Underground, a critically acclaimed breakthrough in gaming and skateboarding culture. Consequently, the song quickly became a skate theme of sorts; a mainstream-denouncing battle-cry for skateboarders who at the time, struggled to find acceptance in the outside world.

Similarly, Anacron's "Boom, Boom!" found it's own pocket of success through a mass of sync placements; including award winning video game Far Cry 3 (Ubisoft), and immensely popular award-winning television shows like Dexter (SHO), True Blood (HBO), and Entourage (HBO), and more. The Old Man Malcolm (Citizen King) produced track, unlike "A Prototype," never saw an official release - appearing only on Anacron and Malcolm's "Cornrowz" tour-edition CDR's. Unbeknownst to most, the unfinished recording was actually a studio outtake - a tongue-in-cheek rough draft freestyle draft for potential future material.

Both tracks receive Anacron's patented "Facelift" treatment here: lyrics re-written, instruments re-played, tracks re-produced, and songs re-recorded for re-release, all in true underground renaissance fashion by the artist himself. What more would you expect from an independent artist, educator, and businessman who's done, and continues to do it all?

In the words of the artist:

True Blue AnaManiacs: Thank YOU for allowing me almost three decades to express myself creatively and be heard. Your attention, effort, and support are so greatly appreciated. I promise to keep working to bring you the best until I can't work any more. Until then, I'm forever proud to be the founder and a member of the gallery, the world's most artistically complete and historically diverse international collective of creators.

Yawl stay up,
