NEW SAPIENT VIDEO – “GROWN UP”
New video from Sapient for the song “Grown Up” off of the album BARREL’S FOR FEATHERS. This video takes an interesting look at the balancing act between being an independent artist and moving into adulthood with real responsibilities like a child’s life. A nostalgic perspective of how fast time moves and that we’re all just kids at heart. Check it out for yourself and congrats to Sape on his new baby boy!

SAPIENT REMIX – “GREATER THAN THE GODS”
We have a FREE DOWNLOAD of this fresh remix from SAPIENT, the producer/emcee behind Northwest rap crew Sandpeople, for a track from his recent album “BARRELS FOR FEATHERS”.
Greater Than The Gods flips the beat from the albums first single, Universal Diorama, into a whole new song, with lyrics inspired by the first line of the original track. Twisting drums and a haunting melody define the remixed outlook, while Sape flows on the darker edge of his challenge to live up to his own aspirations. On the chorus he sings “These crazy days, make me greater” like a mantra for sanity amid the madness of working to succeed as an artist and a father.
CAMOBEAR SIGNS SAPIENT
From Sapients recent newsletter:
“I’ve finished this “rock” album (for the lack of a better genre description). You might have already heard a little about. It’s titled
Slump. I have signed a deal to release it through Camobear Records. You may know of me as a manually laboring, DIY artist, self releasing my projects and such – but
JOSH MARTINEZ and the folks at Camobear are good people. I am happy to join camps with them, and I have been able to have my hands in all the decisions surrounding the album. Don’t trip, I stay indie… “till the world blow up” (as the homie John Clark would say).
Slump is still a ways out though, tentative release Oct./Nov. 2010. I plan to release another hip hop album (B4F) before then, so stay posted little homies… album announcement should be in the next email.”
