VIDEO: “Car Chase” – Metal Chocolates
Chuckie M. was right, this is much more entertaining than Janye’s new video. As a kid I used to get chocolate coins in my stocking every Christmas from “Santa.” Now I’m writing about ’em as a grown-ass man on my dumb little rap blog. #FullCircle.

Metal Chocolates is: OC Notes X Rik Rude. They’ll be invading your headspace in due time. Get to know them above and here. That is all. For now.
DOWNLOAD: ViperLust – Viper Creek Club
Click album cover to D/L.
Friday’s album release party for Viper Creek Club’s ViperLust went down with great success, I hear. Your loyal blogger wasn’t on the scene (for a number of reasons, the main one being I live over 2,500 miles away), but I’m positive Mat Wisner and Co. left it all on the stage (or turntables — whatever the case may be) like he always does. Metal Chocolates did their new thing with great style and a nose to the future.
The FREE album download for ViperLust has gone live. Get with that below. For 206UP.COM’s previous thoughts on VCC’s remixes, click here.
SHOW: Viper Creek Club w/Truckasaurus & Metal Chocolates, 4.1.11 @ Neumos
Click poster for more info.
Viper Creek Club has gotten a lot of love from 206UP.COM for its highly danceable, innovative reinterpretations of SEA hip-hop tracks. I’m not gonna link to ’em all here — that’s what the Search bar is for, dunny. Suffice to say that Mat Wisner’s side hustle has resulted in the birth of a 10-track album, ViperLust, that will drop and be celebrated live at Neumos on April 1. Get yourself to the venue for that and check 206UP.COM for the download when it goes public.
Also rocking with VCC that night will be the ever-assiduous Truckasaurus, and a new electro-rap duo known as Metal Chocolates, the ridiculously intelligent offspring of oc Notes and Rik Rude that is too smart for both the club and most progressive liberal arts colleges that I hear are all the rage right now. For a little taste of their gray matter, check the Bandcamp thingy below. MC has an interesting promotional package available, too, the spoils of which consist of accoutrement both likely and otherwise. Check for that, here.
DOWNLOAD: “Dope Fiend Jazz” – OCnotes & Rik Rude
“Dope Fiend Jazz” is a 35 minute brainstorm session between OCnotes and Rik Rude. A crafty interpolation of jazz samples and Rude’s off-top oral street conceptualizations. Or something. I’ll let them tell it:
Visualize…
Its another rainy day in the square. Rude and Notes walk the back alleys to the murder mart to pick up a sweet and some of the finest pois-ons the city has to offer before returning to the laboratory. The sweet gets rolled, the cork pops, the machines get turned on. An agreement has been made. Today our scientists have decided to try a new experiment in spoken word and electronic African rhythms. One take, free form, freestyle, jazz. This is pioneer square….Dope Fiend Jazz.
The L gets blazed. Rude steps in the booth, OC gets on the pads. The record button gets pushed. No pens, no paper, no pre made beats. This is Live improvisation. New experiments in space and time. Dope Fiend Jazz.
(And oh yeah, Metal Chocolates coming soon…)
