Atari Blitzkrieg's "Technicolor Crime Scenes" available for Pre-Order with new single & Vast Aire track

Uncommon Records is proud to announce the pre-order of Atari Blitzkrieg's long awaited LP, Technicolor Crime Scenes.  The official release date is May 28th, but if you pre-order digitally at our Online Store before that date you will get a Pre-Order ONLY bonus track featuring Vast Aire called Dungeons x Dragons

The lead single, Choices (Produced by IV the Polymath) and the Nasa-Produced banger, Enter the Creeper are available immediately upon pre-order.  We will also be revealing more songs and adding them to the immediate pre-order for the entire month leading up to May 28th!

To call Atari Blitzkrieg eclectic would be a colossal understatement. The Virginia-based artist explores a wide array of soundscapes that leave most speechless when it comes to placing a label on his music. Atari could fill a room with gamers, head bangers and beat poets and please them all.  With Technicolor Crime Scenes, Atari does just that.    While Atari self-produced a large portion of the album he enlisted the talents of 4th Disciple, Krohme, Nasa, IV the Polymath, Willie Green & Masai Bey as well.  He also collaborated with Hell-Razah, C-Rayz Walz, Breez Evahflowin, Nasa and Masai on the mic.

Aeon Grey's "Lead Breakfast" In Stores Now!

Uncommon Records proudly presents Lead Breakfast from Aeon Grey.  This opus took 7 years to complete and we think you can hear every iota of that meticulousness in this record.  It features jarring imagery represented by Aeon's counter culture lyrics as well as by blaring live playing that will rip you apart, only to rebuild you once again.  

You should already be familiar with Aeon from his work with Midwest Indie Hip-Hop icons, Maxilla Blue and his involvement with his self crafted label, Central Standard.  Now he takes his forward looking sound of ear piercing arrangements to Uncommon Records to take part fully in the Progressive Hip-Hop movement.

Lead Breakfast is the lasting anti-authority statement that will blast in the headphones of unfortunate drone cultures for decades to come.  It's a sonic achievement and something only Aeon Grey could create.
