Lyrics by DJ Zesto Q & Lt Headtrip
Produced by Teddy Faley
Recorded by Headtrip at Karma Kids Studios, Karmastoria, NY
Mixed by Teddy Faley at Gus Towers
LNYCHPIN is a full length collaborative album featuring 16 emcees and 7 producers, all from NYC-based labels and crews, including Karma Kids, Reservoir Sound, Backwoodz Studioz, Uncommon and Smoker’s Cough. Curated by Lt Headtrip and Willie Green, LNYCHPIN showcases a distinct selection of NYC’s hip hop scene, notorious for it’s maverick temperament and progressive styles.
As established as the New York indie rap scene is, in many ways it's still disparate; there are still separate crews, movements and alliances. Few people are uniquely positioned to reach different corners of the scene, but Lt Headtrip and Willie Green have established themselves as central figures, and LNYCHPIN is the result of that. Featuring up and comers, heavyweights and returning veterans, LNYCHPIN pairs combinations of emcees with the wide variety of hard hitting production only NY can provide in a spotlight of what is still one of the best and most forward leaning music scenes worldwide.
