Since re-launching Cold Rhymes Records a few years back around the time of the release of Mind Moves The Mountain (2017) Dan "Height" Keech has stayed extremely busy. Cold Rhymes' roster now includes 83cutlass, Ardamus, Darko The Super, Emceein' Eye Height Keech, ialive/Donovan Days, Jack Toft, Kate Ferencz, MISTER, Off The Meat Rack, P.T. Burnem, Param Anand Singh, (rapper) andrew. Shark Tank, Speak N' Eye, Trauma Lavern, Vans_Westly, and Wounds. The bulk of said recent releases having been produced by Height Keech himself, along with ialive (together, as Necessary People,) art direction provided by Height's sideman MISTER AKA CoolGuyBry, and mastered by C$ BURNS. Earlier this year, Height produced the entirety Ardamus' Astro Blocks with the exception of one beat, "Tunnel Light," produced by Necessary People. Plus, Necessary People made their proper production debut across andrew.'s second Cold Rhymes offering, W.O.T.W. Additionally, I BET WE SEE IT ALL DIFFERENT WHEN IT'S DONE: 15 Cold Rhymes Crushers from The World's Weirdest Year, a sprawling 2020 sampler/comp. entirely produced by Necessary People, with the exception of three tracks produced by Trauma Lavern, BLKrKRT & Airjob + Kite Splash, was unleashed across Bandcamp on August 1st.
Now, Height Keech has returned with his first proper full-length of 2020 entitled WILD HEIGHT KEECH. It was released online as recent as Sept. 4 and boasts a familiar cast of characters, including ialive, Ardamus, Mister, Darko The Super, Goldzilla, P.T. Burnem, Necessary People, and C$ BURNS. Along with newcomers Prowess The Testament, Emily Slaughter, and Jenn Wasner. Well, Wasner isn't exactly a "newcomer," but she's fairly new to Cold Rhymes' familiar cast of go-to characters; she's best known for her esteemed work with both Wye Oak & Flock of Dimes and has previously been featured across Height's own Rock & Roll and Talk Singer. Aside from "World Wind" Feat. ialive, Ardamus, MISTER, Darko The Super, Goldzilla, P.T. Burnem & Prowess The Testament and closer "This Brutal World Is The Only World There Is" Feat. Jenn Wasner is a completely solo affair. WILD HEIGHT KEECH, as its title suggests, is a vaguely Country-leaning Hip-Hop album, which echoes Beastie Boy Mike D's infamous Country Mike's Greatest Hits. Below, you'll find the accompanying music video for "This Brutal World Is The Only World There Is" directed by Justin Barnes with Cate Kompare & Dontae Battle. Height Keech's WILD HEIGHT is now available in both digital and limited run CD (with 3 Bonus Tracks) formats, via Cold Rhymes.
