Good artists simply find each other and in this case it’s the union of rap group The Primeridian with producer Tall Black Guy with Darling Lure—a display of cohesive and fluid dimensions in hip hop. Hearing projects like this, restores our faith in rap’s recovery.
Tall Black Guy is that continual rattle and hum in Chicago, winning beat battles such as “Dance To The Drummers Beat” and “Red Bull Big Tune” beat battle of 07, and also winning Eric Roberson’s “Tale of Two Remix Contest” and the “Unique Squared A3C Beatz and Lyrics 2 Go Contest” in 2010. The Primeridian are Simeon Viltz (V) and Darshon Gibbs (Race) who also hail from Chicago and have been on the scene for quite some time, having performed with artists such as Run-DMC, Redman, Talib Kweli, Erykah Badu, and Common to name a few.
Darling Lure takes us back to an era where hip hop is about lyrical creativity, originality, with live instrumentation and samples that make for great listening. The Primeridian are not simply good emcees, they add their own musicality to Tall Black Guy‘s production – V is a trumpeter.
Darling Lure released this week, so check out the video for “Whistle While You Work” below, then get yourself a copy!
