Champion Poundcake is an underground haunt of a producer, and veteran of the Brooklyn punk scene who recently dropped his first project featuring Fatboi Sharif and Rhys Langston on the N.I.T.A. label. The first release in an ongoing series, Split Single, Vol. 1 features explorations experimenting with different audible flours, sugars, yeasts and other audio culinary textiles. Today he shares the video for “RAGS ANONYMOUS” feat. Rhys Langston, as a tribute to De La Soul’s Trugoy The Dove.
“Last Nov. when Rhys Langston was in town we decided to take advantage of his visit and shoot an impromptu video for “Rags Anonymous.” It was completely 100% on the spot, off the hip and budget free. What was meant to be a living homage to one of the most iconic videos, hooks and voices in Hip Hop, blossomed into bitter fruit unexpectedly… an immeasurable loss in the passing of Dave “Trugoy” Jolicoeur. But over the last week, feeling and hearing the personal testimonies, praising anecdotes and the magnanimous love, I couldn’t help but to remind myself of this lingering Plug 2 line… “Cause even when I’m gone I’m reappearing in the after…” Infinite & eternal gratitude & peace to Plug 2 Dave Trugoy Jolicoeur.” -Champion Poundcake
