Unbound Flight - Lt Headtrip and Northern Draw
Friday March 20th ✈️

Preorder now: wearethekarmakids.bandcamp.com

Lt Headtrip and NorthernDraw return with their EP, Unbound Flight, a DIY art-rap travel log fueled by crate-digger boom bap beats. The indie hip-hop road warriors invite their listeners to immerse in different cultures, revealing the connective threads of art and expression worldwide. Headtrip flexes an adept array of lyrical styles accompanied by the mighty Ayatollah, art rap mainstay Quelle Chris, and multilingual vocalists. NorthernDraw’s esoteric samples, pulled from thrift store finds throughout the world, ride atop his signature bouncing drums with assistance from bassist and fellow PDX production maestro MLTZR.

We take off with the hype album opener, 10k Bars, supercharged with international radio DJ shoutouts, then dive directly into the ruminant yet energetic 'Back Around' featuring PDX vocalist Lana Shea. The soothing voice of Quelle Chris brings us back to Earth for a quick layover, then we launch again with Ayatollah, Queens legend, who teams up with Trip to offer cinematic glances into the culture of NYC neighborhoods over a classic East Coast beat co-produced by PDX vinyl wizard King Tim 33⅓. From Venezuelan rapper Julimar’s rapid-fire battle bars in Spanish, a slew of multilingual shout outs collected in the pair’s travels, and the Arabic-peppered vocal performances in groovy album closer Highlights, Unbound Flight is ripe with diverse voices. Bassel Almadani, Syrian-American activist and frontman of the funk/soul ensemble Bassel & The Supernaturals, joins Egyptian rapper Mostafa for a reflective, groovy final stop on the quick but dense journey. Available everywhere March 20th via we are the karma kids.

Only 5 tapes left for the new EP 'A drop in the bucket is still a drop' on our Bandcamp 📻 Get your before they run out!

Out of the Connecticut suburbs, rapper OLD SELF reemerges with an emotionally resonant new EP, A drop in the bucket is still a drop. Entirely self-produced, the record confronts the weight of existence with personal meditations.

A drop in the bucket is still a drop explores the quiet anxieties of suburban life intertwined with the shadow of the military industrial complex, the weight of mortality, and the universal dread of Monday mornings. The stripped-down production is textured with dusty loops and the ambient sounds that drift through a New Haven apartment window. This creates a backdrop that allows the lyrics to take center stage.

A testament to the power of vulnerability and the shared experiences that connect us all, A drop in the bucket is still a drop is streaming everywhere, and available to own on download or cassette.

OLD SELF talks about admitting mortality, judging a man by his shoes, and his EP, A Drop in the Bucket is Still a Drop.
