More Cloak and Dagger from Profisee



hoOkaaay!!.. This edition we reach out North of the Border, real quickly cos its getting cold and I didnt bring my jacket. (schoolboy error). I hooked up with Cloak and Dagger and found out about the labels new release from MC Profisee.

Cloak and Dagger is a term sometimes used to refer to situations involving intrigue, secrecy, espionage, or mystery.... so pay attention, here comes some intrigue and mystery. Apart from being dark and handsome Cloak and Dagger curate a channel for the TENTRACKS project.... www.tentracks.co.uk

And now if you are sitting comfortably - its Interview time
S&R:If cloak and dagger were a star, how would it have been born?
:C&D:Born out of neccessity

S&R::And why so cloak and dagger? What's the whole idea?
:C&D::We originally thought of calling our project "Moonshine"...because we used to work late nights, brewing concoctions and ideas. The Cloak X Dagger moniker came through after being involved and influencing a hell of a lot of stuff around us without being truly acknowledged for the parts we played in it. CXD is a more focused attack. We are silent assassins.
"Those who know, do not speak. Those who speak, do not know." - Lao Tzu
S&R:What is cloak and daggers star sign?
:C&D:We are ying and yang. Fire and Water. I suppose that depends on what time of the year it was born I reckon... We are always Aries and Aquarius.

S&R:If cloak and dagger was an animal what would it be...?
:C&D:The Hummingbird.

S&R:I hear you got some vinyl dropping, keeping it old school real yeah? I love it.
What magique is locked up in that explosive plastique?
:C&D:"When your in the zone it's not an illusion" The sentiment locked in the grooves, is to not be deceived by what is around you. Focus more and you. Proceed..the journey is looooong. The more you listen to this, the more you'll get from it. Profisee comes from a different era, the lyrics are multilayered. Eprom sprinkles real magic on the production, he's gonna blow!

S&R:What makes you starrich (pronounced - star-ish)....?
:C&D:We are Clairvoyants.

S&R:Yeah, lastly - any shout outs?
:C&D:Anyone who feels they need a big up...."BIG UP!"

Big up Starrich!

And the guys who appear on this release of course.

:C&D:Oh..the vinyl was available November 9th from Juno Phonica Sounds Of The Universe etc

Cloak X Dagger preset......


'ZONING' // 'WHAT IT SEEMS' EP
PROFISEE X EPROM
Label: Cloak X Dagger
Vinyl X Digital

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


"On the run like I'm Logan......"

Cloak X Dagger are proud to present their first release on plastic and digital formats.
Enjoy.........


The Zoning E.P is a collaborative project envisioned by the Scotland's resident MC Profisee and San Francisco based producer Eprom. Both artists operate outside the conventions and rules of traditional hip hop and dance music culture, which is what makes the Zoning E.P all the more special. It's regional, global, progressive... and best of all, sounds ballistic on the club floor. Futurist beats collide with introspective vocals, bass heavy and zoned out to its core, taking their style to another dimension.
Prof is no stranger to the mic, over the years he has worked with the likes of Neil Landstrumm (Planet Mu), Process Rebel, Yard Emcees (One Little Indian), Hexstatic (Ninja Tune) and forthcoming joints already bubbling with Poirier Sound (Ninja Tune)
Now is the time for Profisee to solidify himself as a solo artist.

The vinyl release will include an exclusive tribal reworking of "Zoning" from LuckyMe head honcho's TheBlessings, plus reduxes of both tracks on the digital format from Vigilante (Great Ezcape) possessed by Beethoven. Edinburgh's own hip hop impresario Nasty P and new artist RVLT.
The Zoning Ep is set to break the mould and cast off any stigma attached to regional UK emcees.

Check it out and let us know what you think... Profisee will be available for radio/press interviews and sessions. Please get intouch.
