SLO-MO – ICE PALACE (PROD. BY SLAPP SYMPHONY)

Thursday, December 8th, 2011 by Justice Equality Supreme

Here’s a solo joint by Slo-Mo (of Fortilive) that is a personal song that really hits home for many a Hawai’i resident. On Ice Palace, Slo paints a vivid picture depicting an epidemic that has been rooted in Hawai’i for years now, crystal methamphetamine, commonly known as crystal meth. As much a problem for the islands as crack cocaine and heroin was for the inner cities in LA, New York, Detroit, etc. in the 70s & 80s. While many outsiders think Hawai’i is all paradise, if you take a walk around the other side, you’ll definitely see the effects it has on the people and their families. Ice Palace is a cut featured on Slapp Symphony’s compilation, Drown ‘Em In Beats, Save ‘Em With Rhymes. You can purchase the CD at FITTED by phone order (808) 942-3100.

PRIMA PHONICS

Monday, August 9th, 2010 by Cuzzo

A couple of days ago, we headed down to peep out the construction of Hawaii-based DJ Sub Zero & Slapp Symphony’s new studio, tentatively named “Prima Phonics.” Located across from Honolulu Community College, and a few doors down from Hawaii’s infamous jazz drummer Justin James (son of jazz musician Chuck James), Prima Phonics aims to bring even more quality Hip-Hop and R&B injected with nuances of Hawaiian culture and pride. Previously, the majority of Sub Zero & Slapp Symphony’s unique production was conceived in bedroom studios, so we were pretty hyped to hear they acquired a nice space to build their own recording mecca, from the ground up. You can see how much passion these fellas have for their craft, getting down and dirty with the construction, painting and installation by themselves. As of right now, construction is set to be completed sometime next year; but don’t think for a second that the waiting-game will halt any further production. They do gotta eat! For all updates on any Slapp Symphony related news, follow their Twitter and give those boys a shout!
