“Rap music is evolving, and the torchbearers of the new guard hail from . . . Venice Beach? Indeed, there is little that is typical about King Fantastic (the nom de guerre of L.A. rapper Killer Reese One and DJ/producer Troublemaker), who are quick to credit their seaside surroundings with providing the inspiration for their experimental brand of-hip hop. With Troublemaker’s bass and synth-heavy beats laying the foundation for Reese One’s carefully cultivated verses, modern hip hop has rarely sounded so eclectic.

If the duo is credited with creating a new genre in “West Coast synthesizer beach bum gangster music,” however, they take a more straightforward approach with today’s exclusive song premiere, a remix of the 2010 track “Appreciation.” Working with collaborator 3 Stripes, Troublemaker strips away the verses of the original song, leaving only a refrain of “Long live hip-hop” to play atop his hard-hitting dubstep beats. The hook is an intriguing one given the sonic context, but with results as hot as this, it’s hard to argue the message.” – Interview Magazine
