The writer of Cult.ivated Society who I had the honor of meeting over halloween weekend 2010 did a piece on a duo made up of none other than Jesse Morrison and Dan Hildebrand. Both stemming from Phoenix, AZ, they recently collaborated on a couple of tracks with Jesse laying down the instrumentals and backup vocals while Dan raps over the top. I can’t find the words to give them the respect that they deserve (I’m running on 30 minutes of sleep), so I’m gonna borrow what Mr. Cult.ivated wrote. Enjoy
The fine fellows above are Arizona natives (shout out to the 602) that go by
Rocky Loves Emily. Jesse Morrison (left) and Daniel Hildebrand (Right) first
off are like the two raddest, most genuine dooders around. I have had the
honor of hanging out with these guys a time or two and their chilled out, loving
personalities is depicted in their music. Enough of that mushy chatter though,
let’s talk music. Jesse leads production and those killer vocals at the beginning
of the track. If you guys follow Cult.ivate often, you saw a post I did a while
back by a band called CooBee Coo. Jesse is one of the guys from CooBee Coo
and takes his many musical talents to produce one of the coolest tracks I have
heard. It’s got that Summer time feel to it, but like I said before, what does that
even really mean. For you guys that go to APU with the lot of us, you may
recognize that bearded wonder on your right. Daniel aka Hildy has built up
quite the reputation for being one of the best freestylers (I don’t care that
freestylers isn’t a real word, get over it) around and I mean actually freestyling.
By freestyling I actually mean coming up with raps on the spot, off the dome!
For those of you who have been clouded by all these rappers droppin
“Freestyles” on the radio, lemme break some harsh news to you, THOSE
AREN”T FREESTYLES. Yes, yes, I know your sad, devastated even, but don’t
fret, I have just the answer. Wipe those little tears away and click the play
button, everything will be all better, I promise. Enough chatter.
Check out Cult.ivated Society’s blog. Dude puts in a lot of work posting new dope music almost everyday. This blog is the inspiration that got me and Sibi to start this project up: http://cultivatedsociety.wordpress.com/
