Seattle rapper Sadistik will release his latest opus, Flowers for My Father , on Feb. 19. As you might have gained from its title, the album is heavily inspired by the loss his father, who passed away prior to 20082s The Balancing Act . Since then, Sadistik has been writing and recording his follow-up with the likes of Kno and Blue Sky Black Death , the latter of whom produced the moody "City In Amber". We're proud to premiere the track's fittingly stark and beautifully shot video, which helps drive home the lyrics of both the [...]

![Deniro Farrar & Blue Sky Black Death – “Just In Case The World Ends” [Video]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4737703_lg.jpg)
Deniro Farrar and Blue Sky Black Death 's great collaborative EP, Cliff of Death , is hopefully the start of an ongoing series of releases from the Charlotte rapper and Seattle producers. And if it's not, well, at least we have this stark, melancholic project with killer cuts like "Just in the Case the World Ends". The apocalyptic joint gets some fitting visuals today that center on two soldiers who eventually get ... nah, I won't spoil it. Watch below.

Since 2006, it’s felt like production duo Blue Sky Black Death has been looking for a voice for their instrumentals. In addition to releasing mostly vocal-free albums filled with lush epics that sounded like they were soundtracking every fantasy movie ever made, they also dragged semi-forgotten rappers back into the music world—first with the abstract Wu-Tang affiliate Holocaust, later with another Wu-Tang outlier Hell Razah and underground mainstay Jean Grae.

2012 may already be under wraps, but I wanted to make sure to take the opportunity to give recognition to one more release from what turned out to be one of the better years for rap music in the last decade. Cliff Of Death is a collaborative EP between North Carolina rapper Deniro Farrar and Thoughts on Tracks favorites Blue Sky Black Death . While Cliff Of Death is only a seven song EP, it is without a doubt one of the best track-for-track releases of the year. I’ve only been vaguely [...]
With year-end lists already published, and high profile releases few and far between, the last couple weeks of the year tend to end up becoming the period that the music blogosphere [...] The post Deniro Farrar x Blue Sky Black Death - Cliff of Death EP appeared first on The Smoking Section .
BSBD & Deniro Farrar - Can't Take It With Me When I Die More atmospheric collab goodness from beat-maker duo Blue Sky Black Death and Deniro Farrar on this one. The aptly named Cliff Of Death EP, which delves into the dark with swirling themes of death and despair (and eventually, acceptance), and was released back on the supposed apocalyptic due-date of December 21st, just for good measure. End of the world, my ass . Cliff Of Death is available [...]
Seattle in the building, BSBD on the boards, BOLO NEF AKA DRUGGY BONE & CAZ GREEZ AKA DUSTY HAZE on the microphones, deal with it. Nacho Picasso is the only other feature, I stumbled across dude this morning. He has a bunch of tapes available on his bandcamp , most of which are on BSBD production. I could never give this production enough credit so I'm not even gonna try, hit play. ps: how wild is that album art?
Blue Sky Black Death stay workin', y'all. The day after they dropped Cliff of Death with Deniro Farrar, the Seattle production duo released another new release. It's Skull and Bones , a full-length collaboration with young Seattle spitters Bolo Nef and Caz Greez. The only guest appearance is frequent BSBD collaborator Nacho Picasso , otherwise these two up-and-comers lead the way with gully, straightforward raps. Grab it below. Download: Blue Sky Black Death, Bolo Nef & Caz Greez - Skull and Bones [Bandcamp]
Seattle production duo Blue Sky Black Death have branched out and collaborated with Charlotte, North Carolina rapper Deniro Farrar , who has linked up with plenty of artists and producers this past year. Farrar latest collaborative effort comes in the form of a new 7-track EP titiled Cliff Of Death, which pays homage to the Mayan calendar and the anticlimactic apocalypse that occurred this past Friday. Stream the project for free below, and follow the purchase link below to grab a digital copy via Bandcamp. [...]
After several successful and critically acclaimed projects with Nacho Picasso , Seattle production duo Blue Sky Black Death have branched out and collaborated on a release with another MC. This time, it's Charlotte, N.C.'s Deniro Farrar, known for his work with Shady Blaze , Potholes Music's own BK Beats , and more. Like Nacho, Farrar is a choice complement to BSBD's gorgeous shoegazing instrumentals, which also pack a serious punch in terms of bass. The EP, Cliff of Death , is hopefully a sign of more joint efforts to come from [...]
Deniro Farrar has linked up with plenty of artists and producers this year, but this has to be one of his finest collaborations yet. For the new Cliff Of Death EP, he connects with production duo Blue Sky Black Death for a sound that floats in a desperate place both dark and ethereal. With the end of the world right around the corner, it's the kind of shit that seems fitting.

Before we bring you our picks for the best albums of the past year, we've got a few more lists for y'all. Today, we're highlighting our favorite remixes of 2012. If you have been paying close attention, you have no doubt noticed that we have shared a TON of remixes, reworks, edits, etc... in the past 12 months. You can thank a slew of DJs, producers, and rappers for that, as everyone from Kanye West to Ryan Hemsworth to SBTRKT boosted their profiles in the past year by way of the remix. [...]
We've already given a round down of our favorite artwork and music videos of 2012, and now we're diving into our choices for the best songs of the past year. To be blunt, we loved a lot of singles in the past 12 months from across the genresphere, though hip-hop and its off-shoots remain the backbone of our selections. For example, Baauer 's "Harlem Shake" most certainly isn't rap music, but the genre's influence breathes through the floor-shaking bass and synthesizers. As such, we didn't want to throw all 100 songs at [...]
Nacho Picasso hasn’t received nearly the amount of attention that he deserves in 2012. You could say it’s understandable, as it has been the best year for rap music since the early 2000’s and there’s been a lot of worthy artists stealing his shine, but I get the feeling that history will be a lot kinder to Nacho’s recent run than the hip hop hype machine has been to this point. Nacho and his production team Blue Sky Black Death have created their own unique sound in the last couple of years with a trilogy of full [...]
For those unfamiliar, Child Actor is the East Coast-residing duo of producer Max Heath and songstress Sedgie Ogilvy. Together, they crafted an absolutely flooring R&B project in Victory , which we admittedly deserve a dunce-cap for sleeping on. But we're officially on board with Child Actor, especially after hearing these gorgeous remixes of standout track "This Is It" by PIMB favorite Blue Sky Black Death. The Seattle producers add their signature space-y, cavernous touches to the track, with the "Glacial Re-Edit" being my personal favorite. Stream both remixes below, cop the album here , and be sure to [...]
Consider this an excuse to write again about the 100s, whose Ice Cold Perm has activated my iPod for the last month and one-upped Drake as the best half-Jewish half-black rapper alive. I knew we could do it. Blue Sky Black Death on the remix making beats that look like what you see when you look out the window on an airplane, textured Cumulus clouds, nugget shaped and fluffy as your finest herbal foliage. Nacho Picasso hit the anchor leg of the remix, tattooed and disoriented and effective. This might as well come pre-rolled. [...]
