Baltimore Beat-maker & Producer URBN SHMN Lets Loose DatPiff & Bandcamp-exclusive Lor Shaman Mixtape (781705 Records DK)

URBN SHMN (pronounced "Urban Shaman") AKA KendalL Ca$h is a Baltimore-based producer/beat-maker originally hailing from DMV—otherwise known as District (DC)/Maryland/Virginia—who was formerly a B-more area DJ. I actually, first heard about URBN SHMN earlier this morning, after long-time The Witzard affiliate and collaborator John "Jumbled" Bachman FWD'ed me an email from The Urban Shaman himself; fittingly titled "Urbn Shmn is taking lofi to Datpiff," it contained URBN SHMN's latest mixtape, Lor Shaman. It's been widely referred to as a "summer '18 mixtape" by URBN SHMN himself and contains remixes of chart-topping hits by Childish Gambino, Desiigner, Drake, Future, Gucci Mane, Lil Yachty, Migos, Rihanna, and more. While showcased on a recent episode of Baltimore FLIPS. URBN SHMN readily shared his sources of inspiration and influence, which includes Flying Lotus, Madlib, J Dilla, and Teebs and these artists' sonic benchmarks can definitely be heard throughout Lor Shaman. Honestly, in my humble opinion, URBN SHMN's Lor Shaman also, has a strong early 2000's Ambient/Hip-Hop influence, akin to Girl Talk's sample-laden Night Ripper (2006) and Clams Casino's Instrumentals (2011) as well as Lil B, Bon Iver, and Three 6 Mafia. "Keeping to The Internet mixtape roots," URBN SHMN's Lor Shaman is currently available exclusively on DatPiff, as well as The Urban Shaman's own Bandcamp page. It's standard version contains 15 Experimental Hip-Hop tracks, although, those who purchase or download on Bandcamp, will receive an additional 16th Bonus Track, as remixed by Butch Dawson.
