Mestizo ~ LifeLikeMovie
G4CD0024 - Release Date May 18, 2004
With Mestizo’s “LifeLikeMovie”, Galapagos4 reveals a new talent and a formidable voice amongst a cast of proficient beat creators and guest MCs. Mestizo delivers his message as if the camera is off, as though it’s just the listener seeing through his eyes. He sees the world with patience and urgency both, with the knowledge that progress takes time in love and in war, but also that you must know just when your time is right and act upon it. The music serves as the means to steady the volatile thought patterns & wicked rhyme schemes, as the mood rolls back and forth from cerebral introversion to breakneck pressure. The wide array of producers was chosen carefully for their ability to spin their own tales with beats. Jackson Jones, Meaty Ogre, DJ White Lightning, Maker, Om, Kip Killagain, Dreas & Mike Gao all put in time behind the scenes as Mestizo proclaims his views on past mistakes, present crises and the end of the world.
- Features guest vocals by Qwel, Offwhyte, Denizen Kane, Rift Napalm, Daoud & Golda Supanova.
- Production by Galapagos4’s backbone of producers: Meaty Ogre, DJ White Lightning, Maker, Jackson Jones, Dreas & newcomers to G4 Om, Kip Killagain & Mike Gao.
