BLUNT RUNNERS STATE OF EMERGENCY
It is a partnership formed in 2018 between producer Ostil World and Dj Mr. Razor.
The aim is to celebrate and honor Hip Hop culture and its elements. Continuing the tradition of techniques originating from this style such as DIGGING (searching for material to sample), SAMPLING (using parts of songs or other existing sources as material in a new composition and context), DJING (one of the elements of hip hop culture and creators of the musical genre with the same name) and TURNTABLISM (the use of the turntable as a musical instrument, thus creating new music through the manipulation of sounds), through a unique atmosphere where the symbiosis between beats and scratch assume protagonism.
State of Emergency is the first Blunt Runners album, its title was chosen long before the pandemic and comes from a Steel Pulse theme with the same name.
This album is a tribute to Hip Hop culture and those who built it, those who inspired us to want to contribute with our music. Create something different but with the knowledge and respect for what has been built before.
The popularization of this musical genre can distort the origins of Hip Hop, so we created the State of Emergency in response, where the objective is to strengthen the foundations of culture, such as DJing, Scratching, Digging and Sampling.
