HGP Anthem
Erik Spangler
This song made a little splash in the New Music blogosphere back in July 2008. With possibly the first diss rap directed at modern chamber music groups, Hybrid Groove Project (that’s DJ Dubble8 and new music saxophonist Brian Sacawa) brought some realness to the catty-ass world of the avant-garde. Claims of comeback raps in the making by International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE) and Alarm Will Sound have not been followed up with action.

This is freaking hilarious! Milton Bizzabit! Perfectly fitting samples. Create that controversy, Dubble8! My absolute favorite line: "Sound original? Nope! We’re putting new dope twists on licks that Philip Glass wrote."
