Fallen House, Sunken City is produced by Alias with guest appearances from P.O.S. (Rhymesayers) and Cadence Weapon (Anti-)
Strange Famous releases B. Dolan’s latest and most powerful album, Fallen House, Sunken City on March 2, 2010.
Dolan has already established himself as a master storyteller, but this time through he presents us with a full-throttle, unabashed, boombap hiphop record. You know, the kind of hiphop that was too grimy for mass consumption so it was declared “dead” by the unelected powers that be? With Alias behind the production board, B. Dolan’s aggressive delivery is accentuated by a special brand of bass-heavy breakbeats while the tailor made musical backdrops assist in the mood of impending doom.
The first single, “50 Ways to Bleed Your Customer,” draws on Dolan’s experience with Knowmore.org (a consumer-activist website he created with Sage Francis in 2005) with lyrics that make direct references to the atrocities caused by such companies as Coca-Cola, Nestle, Halliburton and Caterpillar. The other theme in this song is the parallel between rappers and republicans, portraying corporate America as the alpha hustler and hip-hop ideal.
It was on Sage Francis’ “Death Dance Tour” in 2007 that Alias and Dolan first conceived the idea of working on a full album together. At its heart, “Fallen House, Sunken City” is a record full of focused experimentation that would rather lead by example than romance the dead.
“Economy of Words” finds Alias executing dubstep rhythms, “Body of Work” has Dolan exploring the mindset of a sex worker, and “Border Crossing” has a Providence marching band playing throughout.
Unlikely as it is, the two New England natives have crafted a sound rooted with authority in the best traditions of hiphop, with enough irreverence, energy, and vision to deface its tombstone and reanimate the corpse. This is post-rap, psychedelic-hop horrorcore politics.
Welcome to B. Dolan.
Welcome to a new breed of emcee.
Hip Hop is Undead.
