Hello.L.A.

I've been blessed to be included somehow in a group of rappers and producers all working under the umbrella of French artist Bertrand Blanchard. Bertrand started Hello.L.A. as a place to slang his art, and, what he is most known for, his concert and music posters. His taste in bands, as evidenced by who he chose to make posters for, fit to my sensibilities like a cog in a huge machine. So we were instantly friendly. Bertrand even designed the current incarnation of our Syffal logo as seen on social media. 

But Bertrand would soon transform Hello.L.A. from art house to actual record label. Blanchard curates some of the most interesting, underground, slept on, and brutally honest rappers and producers around. My peoples! 

I sent him a copy of my EP, Theodore, earlier this year and he immediately asked me if Hello.L.A. could be its home. I was floored and leapt at the opportunity. And soon Theodore was a real tangible product that people put not only in their ears but their hands. 

Some others that have had the distinction of being included in tastemaker Blanchard's wheelhouse are the soupy satanic duo Sludge Factorie, Canadian mosquito-fighter and producer Marjen, experimental meatgrinder SPLNSHNTS, beat junkie, rapper and tank top aficionado Hoot, and our very own granddaddy Syffal, Alaska. That's a fucking stable of miscreants that I'd ride, dick in hand with into the fire during any armageddon. 

This motley crew is represented in full-frontal glory on Hello.L.A.'s label sampler, up now for free digital download on Bandcamp. Get a taste of our fruit salad, bruh. Sip it right out of the ladle. Get it on your white jorts, kid. Let it turn your tongue colors as it quenches the thirst for dark and weird and loud and awesome you didn't even know you had.
