Rhinoceros Funk & Rico James – Dialectical Ditties | album
Dialectical Ditties derives from the brilliant pairing of Rhinoceros Funk and Rico James by the brain babies at Man Bites Dog Records. Rhinoceros Funk (Bronx) and Rico James (Vermont) exhibit an effortless anti pop concerto within a refined boom bap medium. The production of Rico James provides a symbiotic attraction to Rhinoceros Funks scripts of sonic subversions.
The 8 song journey is a melodically aggressive campaign against contemporary cultural narratives. Tracks like “Lessons” , “Pump This” and “Grown Up” are hard hitting ballads that challenge listeners to seek change in the music industry that constantly promotes ignorance. The project features Mike Titan (One Cent Town ) and MC WhiteOwl (Might Cost), on tracks that utilize vibrant singing samples over powerful drums. Finally, the transitional arrangement in the song “Crowded” speaks to all sick of the mundane path to earn cash. Man Bites Dog has created what some may call a “problem” with the Dialectical Ditties of Rhinoceros Funk and Rico James. Enjoy
