“NEVER DIES” RUN THROUGH
1. “Jefe Lo Siento” – Reminds me of when my boy toy #2 and i got chased in Tijuana by some drug lord types that were screaming spanish 1 liners about death at us. I guess that’s what I get for wearing my Chanel bag around town w/ lil hipster boy.
2. “Your Bangs” – Straight up, this song made me wanna go and buy some tube socks … Thank you N8 Noface ! (ya face ya face)
3. “THERES NO DEATH” – 4 bit madness by Scumbag Tony, long live the dirty dirty.
4. “Your City Here” – Was great to hear a song from these guys about everybody reppin their city. We rock this at parties and in the gaps we bang out and chant the name of our different cities … Love to my folks in Chi Town and the A.T.L.
5. It was about a year and a half ago when I first heard “Beastside” I was cruising w/ Scumbag Tony in Silverlake. It was definitely a change in what I’ve previously heard from CK. Good to know they can
change the pace up … I’m excited to hear more tunes like this from them in the future.
6. “Border Runs” being an adopted daughter in a family w/ 2 other adopted children, this song totally reminded me of summer road trips to Las Vegas. When we would get out of the car at Circus Circus everybody would stare at us like we were a group of aliens. Of course Noface’s story is more of a political take, but I can relate.
7. “We Were Never Clean” is the perfect outro for this tape this song makes me wanna do _ _ _ _ _ .

In celebration of the launch of his new record label, Warp Recording artist Gonja Sufi has combined w/ hydroshare.tv and The Fader to bring to you a new project displaying what he has stored in his shed of ammo. Fully loaded w/ undeniable 1 take raps and untraceable melodic darts, “the 9th Inning” E.P. touches on the many styles that this vocalist has mastered throughout the years. On this project sufi’s original voice shines perfectly over the 4 songs produced by A.I.R. partner Mainframe, long time comrade Kenuff Akbar, fellow astronaut Media156, and Machina Muerte brother Meatyogre. Sufi rounds out the project by reaching out to new world color lyricist, Blu, to emphasize the “beriich & die” message on Eatfish”. In the upcoming days A.I.R. will be releasing a video for the title track “9th Inning” & an animated short film for “Demon Child”.
