2MR Presents: Harsh Riddims 2013-2016 (Various Artists)

2016 release. This will mark the first time all of these tracks will be available on vinyl - previously they could only be found on cassette or download. Further, the album features an unreleased track from Cringe Machine. An interview of Harsh Riddims' Ryan Parks by 2MR's Mike Simonetti (and vice versa) make up the liner notes. Harsh Riddims started a few years back. Their first release was a compilation tape featuring some of their best friends. Stefan Ringer (REKchampa), Drew Briggs (Divine Interface), and Matt Weiner (TWINS) lives in Atlanta. B L A C K I E is good friends with Negashi Armada (Bluntfang). Negashi suggested asking him for a track, and he turned in "It's hot livin n' tha south". About a year ago, they released the second compilation. This record is a mix of the two, featuring a few unreleased tracks. Love Letters is Parks's friend Maxime Robillard, who lives in New York City. ThinkThrice is a kid in Atlanta that ordered one of Stefan's tapes. WGM is Gavin Mays out of Memphis. He also produces as Cities Aviv. Cringe Machine is Parks's good friend Justin Bauman. Lastly, Co/Coaches is one half of Coco and Clair, Taylor Nave. She's such a talented song writer and performer. Also features RAMZi.
