Since I usually make my beats, I wanted to do something different and release a project dedicated to me rapping on beats I didn’t make. This mixtape is 7 tracks recorded between 2009-2018. Production Credits include: Angry Crow, Igor Amokian, Isaac Takeuchi, Zachary Vidal, Jay Francisco, Ethnomite Pux
New tracks written by Ten-Headed Skeleton Produced by Z Vidal for Tingo Tongo Tapes 2018 limited 50 Cassettes. Email: tingotongotapes (at) gmail dot com to buy a tape.
“Toothless Vampire”
This album was produced by Z Vidal for his Tingo Tongo Tapes label in February 2018. We intended an April 2018 release, but some changes to the tape duration, trimming the track listing from 14 to 10 tracks, album title changes, and getting the wrong tapes in the mail, the release just kept getting pushed. Originally I had artwork that didn’t have my face on the cover, but in the end I told Z to send me some ideas and his design became the final result.
7/17/18: “Eating Flesh Off Bones” on limited 50 Cassette Tapes on Bonding Tapes
This is the first Ten-Headed Skeleton Cassette and my first release on another label since 2011. Bonding Tapes hit me up about releasing a tape in December. I started the project that day and had the 20 track album completed in 2 weeks. It was called “Cannibal” because Asian men are taboo in the music industry, the movie industry, and American women. Around Spring we were informed the cover photo I bought was a reprint and someone else had already used it. I didn’t have a back-up idea, but I did possess a newer 14 track album that was 85% complete with a cover photo I took myself in 2005 at Edgemont/Fountain Apartments in Los Feliz with a disposable Kodak camera and a fabricated mess for a photo shoot in my bathroom caused by my roommates. It is the album you’re hearing today, “Eating Flesh Off Bones”. I made some finishing touches and it was ready in a week. Then another week later I found a satisfying cover for “Cannibal” and agreed with Bonding Tapes to release it on cassette at a later date. In the meantime please enjoy “Eating Flesh Off Bones” featuring collaborations with some friends: (In Order Of Appearance) Big Epoch, K-The-i???, Tolliver, Bullets Are Extinct, Ohm Aota, & Bizzart aka Gothic Cholo.
