few emcees can do what raekwon does. the chef s ability to manipulate language is unmatched, and his storytelling is peerless. he visited our studio in late 2010 and shared stories of chicago mobsters, rza production styles, and what makes a hip-hop legend. this is the 4th installment of the closed sessions 45 series featuring songs recorded during the blog era and lost in the sendspace and z-share ether. -keep it politics- was produced by dj babu (beat junkies / dilated peoples) and was originally released on 2012 s closed sessions vol. 2.

„closed sessions“ is a little comeback for our small family business rivulet records, so we re very happy to get help from some good friends on this one. pablo mateo from lack, perseus traxx who has released on bunker and mos, mod.civil from ortloff in leipzig, profile from esthland and our very own stanley schmidt are artists who have been inspiring and exciting us for quite a while and who seem to share the same love for serious dancemusic. although the tracks are very different, the whole compilation is driven by a dark and moody vibe which doesn t let go the utopian and hopeful core of housemusic which has been the light we re been running for since one of these mornings… we hope you like what you hear, thanks for the support! yours sincerely, rivulet.
