about

After the successful release of the self-titled album, TheDeadCanRap they’re back with a Remix of the album track, iPhone Raps...

The album has been reviewed very kindly in The Wire Magazine, MOJO Magazine, Bandcamp (Best HipHop) and supported on BBC Radio 6 Music by Nemone.

Introducing:
TheDeadCanRap is a Hip Hop Art Rap duo composed of Paris based Hip Hop legend/ Art Rap pioneer, Mike Ladd & internationally acclaimed abstract street artists and esoteric rap pioneer, London based Remi Rough. Together, they've crafted a deeply personal and sonically innovative album exploring the realities/ confusions of 21st century life as well as articulating Rap Life after 40 & beyond. With each song, TheDeadCanRap venerably navigate difficult, rarely expressed subject matter from post-apocalyptic nightmares, zombie cultures, corrupt politics, esoteric spiritually to global financial conundrums from the perspective of Rappers/Artists/ Fathers. These pioneers of Free Form Art Rap have taken their listeners to the frontiers of experimental Hip Hop, Electronica, Spoken Word and beyond.
The album, released Dec 11, is accompanied by an ArtRapBook by Remi Rough.

iPhone Raps is a fascinating and unpredictable lyrical journey about privacy, parenting and psychologically thriving in a dystopic reality. Sonically Remi's digital landscapes lend an irresistible iRobot-industrial-funk reminiscent of 'Kid A' Radiohead meets Wu Tang.

lyrics

See we’re all writing raps on our iPhone 8s
And it’s great debating Kafka in unconscious states
And I’m late for my own concert at the Pyramid Tate
Inflate... deflate...
Crossing seas like a dinghee full of refugees
Even my enemies can’t see the forest for the trees
And these days frieze frames take away our free names
I’d rather just escape with my own fleet of sea planes
In the 80’s it was Krylon enamel
Whilst the evenings were spent with Chewie and Mark Hamill
And my daughter really seems to like the same shit that I do
We read the same books, it elevates her IQ
Pancakes and avocado toast on the weekends
We drink milkshakes and search for the geek trends
Live in the sleek endz looking through a rose lens
Getting the bends from swimming with our old friends
Swimming with our old friends
Too much screen time, we writing on our iPhones now
But hey thats ok
Too much screen time, we writing on our iPhones now
But hey thats alright
Swipe n’ like tag n’ type
Clicking right till you right
Always wore Adidas but they photoshop in the Nikes
Everyone iconoclast all will follow to the last
Drink the Kool-Aid get the gas date rape via snap chat
Selfie slap you in line FSB got your mind
Nazi meme inclined parties all flipping sides
Black is white corporate pride white is black down upside
Connection to cortex iPhone synapse connects
Invest what you thinking next Apple owns all that shit
Your fantasy to nightmares economic crosshairs
Doubtful that we prepared thought and water
The new market if you got it
Better stock it put your tongue up to the sky
Mind control do or die they’ll even help you wonder why
Cambridge Analytic-a been here since the biblical
Micro-chip chia pets dominatrices with a selfie stick
You willing to put up with it no harder than a pin prick
Got you screaming brexit you even think you meant it
Red hat crippled dick fossil fuel to lithium
Too much screen time, we writing on our iPhones now
But hey thats ok
Too much screen time, we writing on our iPhones now
But hey thats alright
