The fourth studio album from Kristoff Krane!
Check out the first single "Wild Wild West" featuring Sage Francis & Sadistik!
WILD WILD WEST (Kristoff Krane feat. Sage Francis & Sadistik) by Strange Famous Records
Below is a Q&A with Kristoff Krane, for those interested in learning more
about the album:
When was fanfaronade created and finished?
The first song was recorded in August of 2010. The record
was completed in February of 2011. It's entirely produced by a German producer, Jaq, with the exception of "Got High" which is produced by Big Cats!
Who are the features
and why?
I am absolutely privileged to announce that the album
includes features by veterans, artists responsible for laying the foundation of
underground hip-hop: Sage Francis, Buck 65 and Illogic (I have been listening
to these guys since I was young and have been extremely influenced by them).
It also includes a handful of “new-age” underground rappers
who I believe are part of the next wave of successful DIY movement: Crescent
Moon (Kill The Vultures), Ceschi, Sadistik, Joe Horton (No Bird Sing) and Mike
Schank (Sector 7G). I chose these features because I thoroughly respect the
“honest” approach that all of these artists have when it comes to how they
express themselves, and also because they are artists who have influenced the
way I make art and how I have spread that art to the world over the past five
years.
I specifically wanted these folks on the album because I
believe all of them could relate to being in a position where as a result of
not making gimmicky, super-accessible art, they all know what it feels like to
be underappreciated and overlooked, standing by while others, whose art shows
less of their heart, receive a standing ovation again and again.
