Here is the music video for Ecid's self-produced "Back From Japan," off his upcoming Werewolf Hologram LP , due on February 28. Ecid follows his pattern of utilizing obscure samples and blending them with more traditional hip-hop elements. On this track, he sampled a Japanese psych-rock band and layered it over a more straightforward drum pattern, eliciting a gloomy feel. Ironically, Ecid created the beat the day before the tsunami natural disaster in Japan, which influenced the lyrical content of the song. Watch the video above, and pre-order Werewolf Hologram here .

I'm almost afraid to even listen to this. I know how much some people love their mash-ups, but this just sounds like a bad idea. Either way, I am sure folks will want to check this out. Ecid , a Minneapolis MC, has taken his production hand into crossing alt-rockers Kings Of Leon with gangsta rap legends N.W.A. Most of the material is post-N.W.A. but you get the point. Considering the country twang of KOL's tracks, I just don't see how this could ever work, but I'll let you judge for yourself. Here goes nothing... [...]

And what better musical backdrop than the sounds of Kings Of Leon to make the beats? The shit is so unexpected that it actually works.

Junkies, psycho killers, deadbeat parents; Minneapolis MC Ecid's themes are anything but sunny and whimsical. The Minneapolis-based up and comer has a fascination with the seedier side of life, which he has documented in his recent concept album Red Beretta . Prior to leaving for a whirlwind West Coast tour Ecid discussed the new album with Culture Bully's Jon Behm, describing the formulation of the album's themes, the closing of Minneapolis' Dinkytowner and the question of hip hop as a counterculture.
