Lars Viola – Evening News (Goin’ In) (feat. Quelle Chris) [Single]

On their collabo single “Evening News (Goin’ In)“, rappers Lars Viola and Quelle Chris spin a razor-sharp joint that sounds like it’s straight from a promo mixtape from the now-defunct record label Def Juxl – which is absolutely a good thing. The verses are smart and witty and the production is marvelously laced with crunchy drums, vinyl pops, and a sample that sounds like a security alarm blaring off in the distance. The whole thing has the same gritty and claustrophobic feel to it that marks some of the best music coming from the current throwback renaissance that’s being heralded by sound providers such as Daringer and Alchemist. But instead of rhyming about the New York crime life, Lars and Quelle come with fluid, free-association flows that call back to an era in hip hop that – although it may not be en vogue now -never really dies.

“Evening News (Goin’ In)” is taken from Lars Viola‘s recently released Surface Noise LP – which also features appearances from LIKE, LS Roman, Carl Hancock Rux, Misha Savage, TANSU, Shacar, and Jayswifa.  You can show your support by streaming and/or buying the single from your favorite online music service below as well as by checking out more from Lars when you connect with him online via the links listed.
