The B6TCH6 EP (pronounced « Batch 6 »), is the inaugural
collaborative work between the French and Italian labels Light Item
and Solium Records. Gathering artists from each label’s roster, this
experimental album (the first of several) opens a new path of sonic
expression, mixing each label’s artists to create a new, unique sound
and style.
The Light Item label is co-
founded by Rico from experimental hip-hop duo Uochi Toki.
As masters of the genre you might have heard of these guys
before (if not please check out their discography).
For this release, Light Item gathered some long-time
collaborators and teamed up with Solium (a label
specializing in the large field of experimental hip-hop, to
noise music, and everything in-between) who provided some rap acapellas, dubbed, and crafted the
tapes.
