POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
‘Deserts of the Pre-Present’ featuring the legendary @youngsole was the second collaboration that became a part of the High Artifice project after ‘Chemtrails’ with @illogic614 .

I’ve been a big fan of Sole’s work since his early Anticon releases. ’Selling Live Water’ and ‘Live from Rome’ in particular were always on heavy rotation. I’m currently thoroughly enjoying his latest album ‘Dads At The End Of The World’ with @televangel.

We’d exchanged some brief messages in the past but had never properly spoken. I reached out to him just before the pandemic kicked in Jan 2020.

We went through a few beat options and ended up going with one with this one. It uses an obscure sample that I found about 25 years but never found a successful way of using it until making this beat.

Sole recorded the vocals during the peak of the pandemic (“As for flattening the curve, somebody dig me a pit”)

Sole said that he’d been bumping lots of 90s rap at that time so had taken the opportunity to flip some styles he hadn’t really done before.

Big thanks and big ups to Sole!

Above is my portrait of him in charcoal, acrylic, spray paint and Photoshop.
