Gangrene - Vodka & Ayahuasca - Music Head - 28-01-2012 online listen not my thing but it may be yours some of the music is interesting wth some psychedelic stuff no on the lyrics and delivery had to look up what ayahuasca is, some drug 1.0 from me and a converted 2.4 from the pros at allmusic from the album - Vodka & Ayahuasca The Alchemist + Oh No (Gangrene) - Vodka & Ayahuasca (Official Music Video) - YouTube released Jan 24th, 2012 Bio - from allmusic Featuring producer/rapper the Alchemist and rapper/producer Oh No, Gangrene was launched when these two strangers were introduced by a mutual friend, rapper and Dilated Peoples member Evidence. Beats and verses were exchanged through e-mail, and something casual and fun quickly turned serious, with the duo deciding to introduce Gangrene to the world. The underground hip-hop haven Decon was just the label to do it, and in 2010 they released the project's debut album, Gutter Water. Influenced by fuzz guitars and the whole psychedelic era, Vodka & Ayahuasca followed in 2012. Album Review - from allmusic With producer/rapper the Alchemist and rapper/producer Oh No behind the project, Gangrene is dirty, underground hip-hop excellence as expected, but Vodka & Ayahuasca takes it to another level, or realm. "This is an acid trip/Rancid spit" is how this album's title track explains the conceptual rip in space and time that's laid down throughout, as Hendrix headbands and hi-tops come together like rap was spawned with the help of George Clinton's Funkadelic rather than George Clinton's Parliament. "Auralac Bags" smells as much of old reefer as it does of modern indo, and even as tracks like "Dump Truck" thump with the modern boom-bap, a sitar or whammy-bar is bound to sneak in, making sure the total album experience lives up to its mind-bending cover art. This is dense stuff, too, creating a patchouli cloud of sound that somehow still allows for prime beats and hooks to come through. Think Nick Cannon starring in Good Times or Vivica A. Fox and Pam Grier as contemporaries and you've got the magic of Vodka & Ayahuasca, a "not for everyone" album that lives in an impossible universe you never thought existed, and now have a chance to visit.
