NEF121: Veteran DJ/Beatsmith Metawon comes forward with ‘Choplifter’ – twenty tracks of fresh sounds and pristine hip-hop stylings, on Neferiu Records. Sifting through masses of music, Metawon uses his keen sense to swoop in and rescue choice samples, like POWs in a mine field of forgotten flavor. After airlifting them to safety, Meta coalesces them into a sound-scape, and presents them to a troop of trigger happy MCs; indeed, some of Canada’s finest.
Respected on the underground, Meta had no trouble recruiting high caliber mic controllers to complete his vision. Rhymers like Touch, Cam the Wizzard, Teekay (Dragon Fli Empire), Ghettosocks, Theo 3, Chadio, and Jeff Spec bless the tracks lyrically, and do not disappoint.
Metawon’s beats are like a premium beer, smooth, distinct, and easy going down. Soulful backdrops, well placed, long forgotten but freshly diced samples and crisp drums are the hallmark of this 20 track collection, his second on Neferiu Records, and first since relocating along with WorkTurkeyMusic from Calgary to Vancouver. Check out ‘Choplifter’ and enjoy the results of Metawon’s mission, while simultaneously exploring the rhyme styles of some of Canada’s illest.
