, Substance Abuse Aceyalone - Bridges

Ramrock Red Records are proud to present the forthcoming 7" single ‘Bridges’ from L.A. hip hop duo Substance Abuse aka Eso Tre and Subz. ‘Bridges’ features Aceyalone, founding member of legendary Freestyle Fellowship, a collective who brought an improvisational focus to the Los Angeles underground hip-hop scene in the 1990s. Eso says "Subz came up with the idea for 'Bridges' because he felt we needed to do a song about unity in these increasingly divisive times we live in. Our goal was to create a track that was jazzy, positive, and upbeat but with a message that the modern audiences could relate to, following on in the tradition of our heroes ‘The Native Tongues’. To deliver that message, we couldn't think of a better MC than Aceyalone to bring on board. He has a special talent for creating dope songs built off of a single metaphor and he completes our vision."
The original version is a sublime, soulful, future hip hop classic referencing the very best of the jazzy undertones from the ‘golden era’ groups like De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest, Jungle Brothers and their ilk and will be featured on the limited 7” vinyl. The ‘North Street’ Vocal Remix with Beedle, Morris & Wallace flexing their considerable production and composition muscle, come up with an original musical composition to run the ‘Bridges’ flow over, paying respect to jazz luminaries, Ramsey Lewis, Ronnie Foster and Bob James.
