Low Budget Affiliates

The Low Budget Affiliates are Edmonton’s beloved “rappa-holics” who have been holding it down since 2001– although the exact dates are a little hazy for its members to recall. Their starting line-up consists of Chris Plus, DJ Nato, Add-Vice, Chaz and Max Prime. Their entire roster has appeared on a number of Canadian rap albums not including their domestic classics: 6 Bucks a Sixpack, Lawyer Fees and Write Ripped. The crew’s latest endeavor is a collection of songs spanning from 2004 to 2007 and has been dubbed The Damage is Done alluding either to the damage they have inflicted on their livers from years of heavy drinking or on your psyche after you’re finished listening to this album. I caught up with the boys of Low Budget on a prototypical summer night in Edmonton and conducted a progressively rowdier interview over some beers.

Sage Francis’ label to release Buck 65&...

Exactly ten years ago I was handed a Buck 65 cassette tape that forever changed the way I approach my own music. There aren’t too many people who have been that influential or inspirational to me, so I’m elated to be releasing Buck 65’s new “Situation” album on Strange Famous Records. We had to jump through hoops of fire in order to license “Situation” from Warner Brothers, but SFR is fiercely independent so we already have a fire under our ass. I put my rep and my company behind this album with great confidence because “Situation” has Buck 65 returning to classic rap form while proving that hip-hop can still be creative, exciting and fresh. His reintroduction to the American audience came full force over the past few months with the “Death Dance Tour” (43 shows in all.) His relentless tour ethic will continue on through Europe before hitting the states again. Make sure to check www.StrangeFamousRecords.com or www.Buck65.com for sample tracks, pre-sale info, and Buck 65-related news. It is truly with great honor that SFR will be releasing Buck 65’s “Situation” in the territory of the US on Oct 30th! -Sage Francis President, Strange Famous Records (via)
