Download: Alltruisms - Clusterbombs
comment No Comments Written by admin on July 3, 2008 – 9:00 pm

“One day, I was walking with Kong Keo through a UXO (unexploded ordinance) field in Phonsavan, Laos, when the metaphor came to me: Cluster bombs are like rappers – we drop, we get spins, some blow on contact, while others… So I titled my debut solo album Clusterbombs, and filled it with stories of Southeast Asian bomb craters and bar girls, political anthems, and funny bone-tickling rants about jobs, cars and sex lives. This record speaks not only of rap’s place in my life, but of the globally limitless reach of the culture I’m a part of.” – Alltruisms

About Ground Lift Magazine

Ground Lift magazine aims to be your source for all things beat related. While we definitely have a soft spot for deep vinyl joints, hip-hop is our first love. We feel that there can be no real discussion of hip-hop without involving the rare-ass, black wax gems upon which hiphop is built.

Ground Lift exists where the worlds of old and new intersect, and we're gonna do our damnedest to help folks, of any 'skill' level, connect the dots between them. You can expect a healthy dose of shit talking, artist-critic beefs and pointless, yet entertaining, minutiae.

This is your magazine, we just write it. Ground Lift aims to be as interactive as it can be. In addition to our monthly contests and reader submitted stories, we ask you let us know if there's anything else you'd enjoy seeing or reading. Want to hate on us? go 'head. Want to holler back? Our door's always open.
