Cex
Being Ridden
Produced and recorded in the homes of Cex and Craig Wedren (Shudder To Think), Being Ridden is a monumental leap forward in the career of a guy who, at 21 years old, has already eclipsed many of his heroes in creative risk-taking and execution alone, not to mention shear accessibility. Layering acoustic guitars, hip-hop beats, dense bass, bells and witty, catchy-as-hell Fresh Prince-meets-Eminem-meets-Bright Eyes lyrical flow, Cex is just about the freshest mashing of genres ever unleashed. As unlikely as it seems to mix hip-hop party jams, warm IDM glitch and shades of emo and folk, he has unearthed a lost treasure; a heretofore undiscovered gold mine of brilliant beats, charming stories and witty rhymes. Flawlessly transforming an ideological train wreck into a whole pile of undeniable hits, Being Ridden is indeed "the real thing." Please note the the limited-edition Double LP includes both Being Ridden (TRR055) and Being Ridden Instrumentals (TRR056) in one package.
