Taiyamo Denku Ft Benny The Butcher - Still Waiting @TaiyamoDenku @BennyBsf @dcypha

The Milwaukee marauder, Taiyamo Denku, continues powering forward campaigning his recently released LP, "No Industry Standard". Side by side with fellow producer cohort Dcypha, the pair continue delivering nothing but high quality Hip Hop. Enter the third single from said album, "Still Waiting", featuring highly compelling jewels shared by Griselda Records own, Benny The Butcher. 

The song begins with a sick piano melody that gets split by soulful horn and vocal samples. Denku sets up the record's concept with a short introduction that rides into the chorus that states, "no matter how things get, they still waiting for change / stages of life, sleep half of the days". After the intital hook, Taiyamo and Benny begin assaulting the mic with brolic bars of knowledge, hoping to wake up the unknowing. "Still Waiting" is a stand out cut from "No Industry Standard" and is the second feature from the Griselda camp. The album's lead single, "Be Who You Are", was another super soulful clapper and featured Conway The Machine.

"No Industry Standard" has quite a few hits on it's hands. The two aforementioned singles, "Fabulous Life" with Lil Kim, it's title track and much more. Benny is still pumping his "A Friend Of Ours" project. A fan favorite of 2018, the project carries guest appearances by 38 Spesh, El Camino, Dark Lo, Skyzoo and others. Both albums are available to preview / purchase on Bandcamp, nice additions to add to your Hip Hop collection.

Taiyamo Denku - No Industry Standard @TaiyamoDenku @dcypha

The seasoned Milwaukee beat bruiser, Taiyamo Denku, makes his triumphant return to your headphones with the full length album, "No Industry Standard". Consisting of 16 tracks in total, Denku and Dcypha once again combine their musical powers to put forth an all around quality Hip Hop extravaganza. The pair continue to go against the grain of so called industry standards, funding the project out of their own pockets and completely independent. Keeping the entire album process in house allowed the duo to orchestrate some heavy features.

Fans of the Cypha Den Music imprint know very well that you can expect some impressive guests on their releases. We can find the lyricist bashing mics alongside the likes of Conway The Machine, Saukrates, Lil Kim, Chino XL, Royal Flush, J Hood, KRS One, and Benny the Butcher.

The names alone are enough reasoning for checking the album out. Don't think for a minute that Denku is the type of artist that bases his career off of features. The Wisco wordsmith has proven his skills time and time again, whether it be inside of a cypher or performing on a vast amount of stages. He sets up all his own tours and has taken his act all across the Midwest and East Coast. As with his skills, Taiyamo has an extensive back catalog both as a solo artist and holding his own among Hip Hop's most predominant acts.

"No Industry Standard" has seen 2 singles and 1 video released so far. The lead single, "Be Who You Are", finds Conway and Taiyamo candidly speaking about faking the funk from two different points of view. "Fabulous Life" features the R&B styling of The Genius with the Midwesterner and Lil Kim speaking about what a "Fabulous Life" consists off. "Stand Back" was produced by Psycho Les of The Beatnuts, this release received a salt and peppered visual from Wes Tank. More singles will be released from the album in the coming months along with a video for "Mr. Sunshine", featuring Saukrates.

Make sure to stay tuned for that but in the meantime, preview and purchase "No Industry Standard" on Bandcamp.

Taiyamo Denku Ft Knowshun - "CannonHands" @TaiyamoDenku @knowshun @dcypha

In a time where the art form of emceeing and battling seems to be slipping away, artists such as Taiyamo Denku & Knowshun emerge from the ashes, torch in hand, to carry on the tradition of true Hip Hop. Treating the microphone as if it were a firearm, the pair hop onto a sinister Dcypha production titled "CannonHands". Drawing inspiration from their prior battle circuit days; Denku, Cypha and Knowshun perform as if their very lives were on the line.

Cypha Den Music, a label started by Taiyamo Denku and Dcypha, has been on a barrage of nonstop releases in 2016. In late July they launched "Gutter Noise", a crew record featuring newly inked members, L. Majestic and Rambunxious. Then in mid-September, fans were treated to a visual portrayal of "Life Like This" featuring CDM artist Urban Legend and Mobb Deep affiliate, Big Twins.

"CannonHands" is available to stream via Soundcloud. It is also available for free download for all Hip Hop fans, see below.

  Taiyamo Denku is also currently performing at a venue near you in the Midwest region. Then, he sets out with fellow Cypha Den Music member Rambunxious for their "It's Our Time" tour. Both performance list flyers are provided below.


              

                        

Taiyamo Denku Ft Big Twins & Urban Legend - "Where We Live" @TaiyamoDenku @Dcypha

Wasting no time after last month's audio release of "Gutter Noise", Cypha Den Music frontman Taiyamo Denku and newly inked CDM artist Urban Legend present "Where We Live". Directed by St. Pennz & edited by Empne, the duo connect Milwaukee and Queensbridge with the help of Infamous Mobb's own, Big Twins.

For those unfamiliar to Taiyamo, he has an extensive list of music that includes an impressive list of collabs, earning him the moniker of Collab King. With a unique voice and wide range of vocabulary, Denku's approach is perfectly balanced by the gritty vocals of Big Twins and closed out by the fluid delivery of Urban Legend. The old school constructed production is provided by Australia's Dcypha, who also is co-owner of the Cypha Den Music imprint. The song is currently a loose single but will be featured on Legend's upcoming CDM debut. Press play and preview "Where We Live" now.
