Juan Rogelio & Still Grindin Productions Presents "Exotic Furs" Produced By D. Still

In an effort to build more anticipation around The Futuristic World Suicide, the sneak peeks from Still Grindin’ Productions keep coming. Fresh from his participation on the "Superheroes" single, Juan Rogelio goes for self on "Exotic Furs." As an Atlanta, GA resident that can also rep for Bronx, NY as his hometown, Juan adds a Southern swagger to his East Coast posturing. Lyrical Terror may be one of his aliases, but that aspect of his verbal skill is hung up on the shelf on "Exotic Furs," a song that exposes the player underneath the microphone fiend. Electric piano riffs set the mood against slow drum programming that's slightly R&B in nature, but retaining its hip-hop knock. A string section hangs low in the background as Juan takes the beat by the hand and the waistline seducing women of all ages by the song's end. Seeing as how hip-hop is ultimately dependent upon words, one would think that this genre shouldn't be so hard pressed for topics to rhyme about. Juan Rogelio's involvement in "Superheroes" proved that a rap single can be topically different and undeniably banging all at once. "Exotic Furs," does the same and even more. Listen to Exotic Furs

Still Grindin Productions Releases "Superheroes" Feat Juan Rogelio, Big Boy Plat & The Real John May

"Superheroes" offers the first peek into the upcoming release The Futuristic World Suicide. Produced by D. Still and Thee Lost Symbol of Still Grindin' Productions, the song descends upon the metropolis with a triumphant fanfare, the type that conjures up images of caped crusaders looming large over crime-infested cities. The fanfare is cut short in favor of shiny synth riffs that sparkle and dance throughout the track. Juan Rogelio, Big Boi Plat, and The Real John May are a trio of lyricists that form a six-armed swagger beast full of boastful bars and cinematic scenarios. High-pitched chords ride a tambourine wave and a drum sequence that knocks for several city blocks, providing the perfect accompaniment for these emcees to examine their unusual abilities. It even spills over into where the vocal hook should go, so that there isn't a memorable chorus, but a comparison of superhero powers and seeing where orators fall on that list.

A pair of remixes offer alternate moods and both of them work well. The first remix features a dark bass line that wobbles and wiggles its way through static slaps and added percussion. Warm keys light the path for the other elements to follow. The Matrix Mix strips the production bare to low, menacing tones and metallic toms that reflect off the walls. Percolating electronic pulses gurgle underneath the surface and make tiny explosions, resulting in sonic splashes all over the beat. It's clear that Rogelio, Plat, and May have partnered themselves with stellar producers, which make their lyrics sound all the better. While they may not possess superpowers in the comic book sense, there's no denying their chemistry on the microphone. If you can imagine Batman driving through Gotham and digging the scene with a gangster lean the entire time, then you have juststumbled upon the vibe that "Superheroes" attempts to approach.
