Awful Records (Ethereal, Keith Charles Spacebar, Father etc)

[Versive]

Never heard of Father until now. At least, not that I know of. I imagine he's on some of their previous releases that I heard without wondering who the other guy rapping was?

[drizzle]

He was on Watch The Couch, but I think he wasn't really doing anything yet at that point.

[drizzle]

they've put out tons of shit that we haven't really kept up with so it's kinda random to just jump back into it, but this new ethereal tape that came out today is pretty cool and very summery

[Echo Leader]

Love the beats. Raps, not so much. Deffo good background/getting blunted music, though.

[drizzle]

makes sense, he is the best producer but probably one of the bottom 3 rappers in their camp

[Echo Leader]

Honestly that's the first thing I've listened to of theirs, ever.

[jon0h]

just now hearing about these guys, what I listened to so far is pretty good, later on when i get h!gh and zone out play some vid games, probly gonna let it play in the background

[sleazy_j]

thirsty.

[Tired & Broke]

I dont think Keith Charles is with them anymore his latest shit has been on some other shit. He released his unfinished official release to BeforeCommonEra and that shit was short but pretty damn dope.

[ackbar]

yes he is & he's about to go on tour with father & slug christ

[ackbar]

the entire crew is about to broadcast live on boiler room: http://boilerroom.tv/session/awful-records/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

my friend tommy genesis also joined the squad

[sleazy_j]

personally, from what i've heard, i dig archibald slim and kcsb more than the rest.
totally can't stand slug christ.
wasn't ethereal doing his own thing before being lumped in as part of the awful crew?

[drizzle]

Ethereal and Keithcharles were both around for a few years, since 2010-11ish. Father's first appearance that I know of was actually on their Super Buddah collab tape. Ethereal was actually signed to Slumerican for about 10 seconds too.

I think at least half of the others also had previous solo or group work in some capacity before Awful happened. For example Quince was part of the Pyramids, who were(are?) loosely OF affiliated.

Not sure how Father ended up leading the pack, must be good organizational/management skills cause he's far from the best of them musically. But somehow he pulled them all in under one umbrella and his record is the one that 'broke' them.

[drizzle]

Probably got grandfathered in, he was around before most of them even started putting out music

[drizzle]

Quince is a dark horse favorite, dude is consistently solid although not particularly ambitious beyond this kind of sound

[Employee]

[Tired & Broke]

I feel like these dudes had lightening in a bottle when they were making music with Introspective Minds, ever since that ceased they haven't really caught my ear as much.

[Employee]

[blastmaster]

Mostly just bad rap music. Maybe I'm missing the point?
