When I first heard Sole and the Skyrider Band was going to be collaborating on a track with Lil B and Pictureplane, I really didn't know what to think. Luckily, any negative speculation I might have had was proven wrong by the perfect execution on "Bad Captain Swag". To make matters even more exciting, Sole and the gang come through with an epic set of visuals to accompany the shockingly stunning single. Seriously, this video is incredible. Hello Cruel World is out now. [ via ] Hit the skip to watch the video.
CLICK IMAGE TO VIEW VIDEO Sole is an emcee and founder of Anticon records. In the past his label have championed artists such as Eyedea, Slug and Sage Francis. "I Think I'm Noam Chomsky" comes from his free album "Nuclear Winter Vol 2" released last year. Sole: Facebook • Twitter PADDY Tags: I think i'm Noam Chomsky , Noam Chomsky , sole , Sole One
Sole, one of our favorite artists here at Potholes, has recently teamed up with producer Vieo Abiungo. Vieo has worked with Kronos Quartet and Benoit Pioulard, and is now ready to use his sound to elevate the politically charged words of Sole. With "Heavy Hands", which comes at a perfect time considering all the Occupy business going on, you get a haunting product that sparks my interest for future collaboration between these two artists. Which brings me to my next point, Sole and Vieo Abiungo do have plans to release a full project together, which is where "Heavy Hands" will finally [...]

Ever since word came down that Paul Simon is planning to reunite with Ladysmith Black Mambazo for a Graceland Tour to celebrate the album's 25th anniversary, I can't stop thinking about the possibilities for this run. I even stopped by YouTube to check out Simon and Ladysmith performing Diamonds On The Soles of Her Shoes from The African Concert in 1987. No matter how many times I watch that clip, I still finish it with a huge smile on my face. It's the YouTube version of ecstasy. See if you agree... [...]
I absolutely love Sweater Beats . Pretty much every day I catch myself rapping along with Lisa Dank to Scenes in a Dream . New York-based Antonio Cuna's most recent remix of Greg Enemy's Crepe Soles is real funk soul. Greg Enemy, a hip hop artists straight out of Kansas City, expresses himself through minimal and clever lyrics that carry a smooth rhythm that's easy to get lost in. Combined with Sweater's signature synth sounds and funk beats, this track gets a straight 10/10. [...]
Is there any better time than now to drop a mixtape featuring Sole 's best/most politically charged music? I'd think not, and neither did he as yesterday he released Dispatches From the American Fall . It's a 23-track collection featuring material from the past decade along with a few new surprises and treats. For one, there's a remix of the Lil B -assisted "Captain Bad Swag", which originally appeared on this summer's excellent Hello Cruel World . If you're feeling political/revolutionary, then look no further. [ via ] Hit the skip to [...]

Very rarely do I agree with almost every single thing a person says. It truly must be who we've learned from. Okay, but seriously now, who doesn't know who Sole is? He's practically a god of non-mainstream hip-hop. Founding member of the Anticon hip-hop collective (recently left to seek other opportunities), creative genius, Sole brings a passion to hip-hop that would make a particular "Young Money Democrat" shake in his boots. He works with a number of my favorite artists (Dose One, Sage Francis, Astronautalis, Eyedea, Busdriver...etc.), is incredibly versatile in his choice of topics and [...]

Coming off the heels of Hello Cruel World from former-anticon affiliate Sole are the visuals for album cut "Immortality". That track itself isn't a light-hearted affair, and with the video to match it's bound to be one of the most thought provoking things you've seen in recent hip-hop. Concerning the video, Sole says "It's a song about futurist/inventor Ray Kurzweil and the modern search for immortality." The video was created with the help of Decadence Comics illustrator Dave Lando and plays something like a sci-fi story board come to life. The video is open for [...]
sole & the skyrider band - "napoleon (feat. xiu xiu)" (download) Opening track from the new Sole & the Skyrider Band LP Hello Cruel World , which came out last week via Fake Four . Sole breaks new creative ground on this record, and enlists the help of Jamie Stewart of Xiu Xiu , Lil' B , Pictureplane , Sage Francis , Ceschi , Isaiah Toothtaker , Mestizo and [...]
Sole And The Skyrider Band - Hello Cruel World Fake Four Inc.: 2011 Tim Holland, otherwise known as Sole, publicly split with anticon, the hip-hop collective he helped create, last year. "This is not the future we were promised," Sole spits early on his new record, Hello Cruel World , and it's easy if maybe not accurate to read such a sentiment, and others like it, as his feelings toward the label he helped make a name. Hello is Sole's third record with Orlando three-piece the Skyrider Band, and with [...]
Sole 's Selling Live Water was one of the best indie-rap albums ever. Fact. So when he releases a new album, I listen - and so should you. What made Selling Live Water stand out is that it was experimental, fearless and not afraid to disregard the boundaries of hip hop. With tomorrow's release of his latest effort, Hello Cruel World , it's clear that Sole is still pushing at the boundaries and isn't afraid to experiment. Just reading the list of guests that appear on the album gives you the sense this isn't going [...]

A few months back we posted a tasty remix of the title track of Sole and the Skyrider Band's newest, Hello Cruel World . With a nice buzz surrounding the release, thanks in no small amount to cameos from Lil B, Xiu Xiu, Pictureplane, Sage Francis and MOKB fave Isaiah Toothtaker, Sole fans were left to sit on their hands...and sit...and sit. The release date was pushed back a couple times, but like Moms always said, good things comes to those who wait. Hello [...]
