Vinyl - Inkswel - The Sun

After years of releases on labels like BBE, Sonar Kollektiv, Rush Hour and countless others as well as works with Pugs Atomz, John Robinson, People Without Shoes, Wild Cookie, LMNO, Steve Spacek, Georgia Anne Muldrow and Blu, Inkswel has finally launched his own label. Together with Charli Umami, the label focusses on the foundations that first inspired the couple, that being Hip Hop and Neo Soul. Enter Inner Tribe. A play on words, the labels ethos speaks to invoke the vibe and spirit within us all, and that original vibe being what drew the two towards Hip Hop and its many off shoots. The first release is a double single, premiering Inkswel's Mind Beats Series- which will eventually take its final form as an album. The title track 'The Sun' featuring vocals from the recently silent yet extensively prolific Ohmega Watts, known for his classic albums like 'Watts Happening' and 'The Find' and his group Lightheaded. The song also features lush backup vocals from Lailah Reich out of Detroit and additional horns from Sydney Horn player Sloth. To back up the title joint, we have the bonus cut 'Spread Love' featuring Tableek from legendary 90s New York crew Maspyke. Bleek and Inkswel collaborated previously on Inkswel's 2016 BBE Records album, so it was only natural that they kept vibing. Inkswel brings new sounds to the spectrum that effortlessly guide the lyrical mesage of connection and hope. All of this backed up by visionary artwork from Michal Rafaj.
