To launch the KPM Crate Diggers series we have Damu the Fudgemunk with the leading single from his Def Pressé Editions debut, Conversation Peace. Entitled Four Better or Worse (Pt. 1) and featuring a powerful guest appearance from the dazzling MC, Nitty Scott, the collaboration is the proper introduction for what’s in store on the whole album. This marks the first time the two artists have worked together, but evidence that if they do continue to work together in the future, there’s great chemistry from the jump. Four Better or Worse (Pt. 1), is the opening piece from a four part suite (Side B of the album) running around 20 minutes total. Damu used the inspiration he collected absorbing much of the KPM library to craft this seamless exhibition of his ideas that occupies the entire second half of Conversation Peace. Each segment features a different voice. Part 1 is the most musically energetic of the suite and Nitty Scott’s presence is the perfect attribute. The Michigan born, east coast bred vocalist crafted a very charismatic and confident verse over the driving evolution of sounds tailored for Scott’s artistry. Written in the thick of 2020, the closing quote nods to the current social climate and optimistically encourages black excellence in wake of systemic racism. “So gimme the front, gimme a blunt & a picket sign. Spent more than time below the Mason-Dixon line. Black lives lit it, UP! I hear critics, but never will a bigot prevent me from getting mine.” Nitty’s engaging call to action segues into the poetic soundscape sourced from KPM’s vinyl archive
