about

© 2018 Take 92 Music

Figures of Speech (Crushkill Recordings) is a jarring improvement upon an already unparalleled body of work. 20 years into his career—spanning punk, rap, and folk projects—Sammy Warm Hands continues to refine his craft.

Figures is an epic, 24-track magnum opus, featuring the best rhymers in the underground. From the punchline-packed opener Hands Down (featuring Carnage The Executioner and Supastition), to his sequel to the fan-favorite Redefine The Flow (with Casual of Hieroglyphics), the friendly competition is evident between artists.

The lead single I Don't Care sums it up best: "Keep placing myself adjacent to greatest names on your playlist, facing off or collaborating I'm as bad as your favorites." And on top of razor sharp bars, Sammy Warm Hands produced the bulk of the beats himself.

The album veers political on Wildfire (a six-minute takedown of Trump-era racism), and gets personal on Other Desert Cities (an ode to his 13 year-old cousin, who committed suicide), but Figures of Speech excels in its simplicity. The gloves are off, and Sammy Warm Hands is bringing the golden era back, one dusty breakbeat at a time.

Death of a Salesman
by The ILLusionists

The ILLusionists approached their fifth album like it would be their last. "Death of a Salesman" is both a scathing attack on the 9-5 life and a battle cry for dreamers everywhere. Take 92 Music

This Guitar Was Stolen Along With Years Of Our Lives

Sometimes you come across an artist that is compelled to do what they do. I appreciate the musicality and the arrangement and the artistry of the songs. He sings and plays like his life depends on it. I appreciate the humanity of the lyrics… Like reading Tortilla Flats, or watching Nobody’s Fool. Ceschi is a bright star. I’m glad he’s loose in the world. oldtruck
