about

A collaborative EP by Delegates of Culture MC Stakka lyrics and producer Deeptrunk79..
Beat Chameleon Is a collection of Dusty Deeptrunk79 beats hand picked by Stakka, who takes each one and shows his versatility as an MC producing an EP that has a totaly different sound to the Mcs previous releases but still maintains the expected sharp lyrics, mixed with catchy hooks, over an original and varied range of beats by this experienced beatmaker.

Sometimes hip hop sounds nice when it's super polished. Like big budget studio album polished. Sometimes it sounds nice when it's raw, unprocessed and super low budget.
This is about as raw as it gets , and it's all the better for it.
Stakka Lyrics aka Sclass of the Delegates of Culture crew has been rapping now for 15 years. Think about that for a second, since the Matrix blew minds at cinemas. Solo stuff, crew stuff and now Sclass has evolved into Stakka Lyrics. So.....Who is Deeptrunk79?
London based producer who you would be a fool to sleep on for a second longer. A bonafide genius who has an ear for a sample and a brain that thinks purely in loops. His debut album 'attaining cosmic consciousness Pt1' is a masterpiece and should already be in your collection.
UK production is so talented now with the likes of Chairman Maf, Remulak, 184, The Purist all making some amazing beats. Deeptrunk79 can hold his head high and break bread with anyone in the UK right now.
So, one Friday night Cambridge born rapper Commission brings Deeptrunk79 down to the Rhymepad Radio show hosted by Stakka and the rest is history.
This is Stakkas second producer led EP. All tracks produced by one guy. I really like it when a rapper does a whole project with one Producer, it's gives it this wonderfully cohesive sound and reminds me of the classics like 3 Feet High And Rising and Little Brothers 'The Listening'
I have it on good authority that Deeptrunk gave Stakka full access to his vault of beats , so these 8 tracks are hand picked, pondered over and deliberated on. This is not some phoned in bars over second hand beats.
The EP also sees appearances from maybe the hardest working man in UK rap and fellow Delegate Inja as well as a guest verse from Xidus Pain and Mr Melta, two guys who have both collaborated before.
Xidus featured on Remulak produced EP Remarkable and Mr Melta released an EP with Stakka called Anti Swagger (you should probably check all those good things too)
So what we have here is a really interesting project and quite a different sound from Stakka.
It's dusty and low Fi and insanely funky. Gorgeous little jazz loops blessed by his trademark social commentary. Non ego or chest beating. Grown up, intelligent observations of the world around us from a veteran of the scene. That word gets used a lot, I use it a fair bit myself but this time nothing else would do.
For some this will be another release from a rapper they are very familiar with but to some guys this will be an introduction to an artist whose back catalogue is fairly extensive and has been the soundtrack to the last 15 years of my life.
If that's you then spend some time discovering the old classics too. Because as much as this stands alone as a fantastic release it's part of a much wider picture that continues to keep giving and keep rewarding its loyal fans .
