Frank The Butcher & Statik Selektah Present “Concepts: Selektions” Mixtape

Frank The Butcher & Statik Selektah have joined forces on “Concepts: Selektions”. This mixtape is inspired by seminal classic 90’s mixtapes like DJ Doo Wop’s “Live 95″ & Tony Touch’s “50 MCs”. Frank The Butcher worked with Statik on “selecting” some of his most classic beats and revisiting them with new emcees and new lyrics. The tape features veterans like DJ Doo Wop, Dj Clark Kent, Freeway, and Consequence– underground favorites like Detroit’s Black Milk and La Coka Nostra’s Ill Bill– while also featuring lyricists like Curt@!n$, Willie The Kid, Termanology and Ro Spit — and more– all featured over Statik Selektah production.

Chace Infinite of Self Scientific / Soul Assassins is the first song to be release. The video was directed by Frank The Butcher and filmed in the L.E.S.N.Y.C. at the Prohibit Boutique on Allen street.

Frank The Butcher & Statik Selektah Present “Concepts: Selektions” Mixtape will be released in January and features 26 tracks.

A couple weeks ago I ran out to NYC with my crew and directed a couple music videos for an upcoming Butcher’s Block music project. First to be released will be my good friend’s Chace Infinite’s video. Here is a couple shots from the shoot.

Setting up some shots in front of Prohibit in the L.E.S. Chace is a madman. #ThatIsAll

Nick Cangello is a film maker that joined the team recently. He basically listens to me rant and figures out how to capture it correctly (I say correctly because I am a little guerrilla with it). Amazing creative and addition to TBB. Welcome to the team!

Paul Mighty is my co pilot and is in charge of all audio on our projects (and tons of creative input). Probably the most reliable person I know. Everything I’m involved with he is probably not too far away. Incredible talent.

Video coming soon!

My brother Chace is one of the most interesting people I have met working in this industry. We share a passion for music and fashion – which all stem off of roots in hip-hop culture. His resume reads like someone that is lying to impress people, but its all truth. From his early days in the business side of the music industry, to his current membership in the world famous Soul Assassins crew, his hip-hop group Self Scientific with Dj Khalil to his creative consulting gigs with fashion labels– Chace is a self described “Purveyor of Street Aesthetic”.

A force to be reckoned with a no bullshit attitude.

Had a chance to catch up with Mr. Infinite at Prohibit in NYC.

Great gear, dope shop with out the cool guy atmosphere.

Yes. I had an Africa medallion when I was a kid. Early nineties they were the shit!

My man Chace Infinite got with NYCs Good Wood (and me on the help out) to chef up this piece for a few of his friends.

Talib Kweli already has his… and mine is in the mail.

Go to Good Wood’s site HERE for more information.

My big bro Chace of Self Scientific / Soul Assassins is a staple in the L.A. hip-hop scene. He’s knows everyone and most of them before they were anyone. When I heard he was doing a mixtape over Dj Khalil’s production for other rappers (his partner in Self Scientific and producer of The Clipse and Kanye joint) it wasn’t a surprise. He would have killed those beats and isn’t afraid the say it.

I told Chase that when he talks to me he sounds like he’s rapping… Go check Chace out at the Prohibit Flagship Store in NYC.

Mixtape drops in September.
