SUMMARY
If there's a secret to time travel, Kool Keith owns the patent. Even a flying DeLorean seems too conventional for the Bronx legend. He'd more logically orbit throughout the galaxy in a gleaming chrome spaceship, teaching the stars and aliens new forms of originality. He is too weird to live, too rare to die, too uniquely ultra-magnetic to be accurately mimicked.
Released on Mello Music Group, Time? Astonishing! is the latest dimensional warp from hip-hop's premiere astral traveler. His union with MMG producer L' Orange finds him exploring uncharted terrain: choppy volcanic rock planets, ice glacier moons, new surgical procedures, and fresh rappers to toss into the ether. The scalpel remains eternally sharp.
The themes aren't dissimilar from his past opuses as Dr. Octagon and Black Elvis. But L' Orange's production appropriately coaxes the most appealingly baffling gonzo vision from Keith since his days collaborating with Dan "The Automator" Nakamura. This isn't the noir-rap of L'Orange's previous work, but something atmospheric, ethereal, and absurd.
Yet there's a sense of tradition within the playfulness. The beats glow with radioactive grit. Hard enough to knock from your car speakers, cinematic and plutonium-propelled enough to transport you to strange terra firma. Buck Rodgers movie serials meet boom-bap. And along for the odyssey are a cast of the best underground MC's of the last decade: Blu, Open Mike Eagle, Mr. Lif, J-Live, and more.
But the star is Keith Thornton, offering more ammunition for his spot as the most creative rapper of all-time, offering more amazing adventures in the future. While other veterans often look back, Keith always knew that space ships don't come equipped with rear view mirrors.
Every thought is a different action. He's easing into new zones, encountering polygonic time travelers, surrounded by enemies, blasting them with radioactive wave forms. L'Orange is the gunner on the flank, lacing the legend with synthesizers set to stun, great wheeling humid organs, and sad exotic jazz riffs. These are space symphonies and occult odysseys, fuel for wanderers, wonderers, and all the a-likes
Welcome to the new world, even more sinister and suspenseful than the last one. We live in astonishing times: abstract, absurd, and indelibly Kool.
Two of hip-hop's great weirdos working together. "Time? Astonishing!" is a masterpiece.
Im way out there so kool kieth be that bamazam proton funk from planet ultra.

Hell yeah. Thanks L'Orange & Kool Keith for my drug of the mind. hip hop music!
Adult swim is going to blow L'orange up.

I assume you allude to Kool Keith and not L'Orange - I concur. it's a fantastic album
Mmg is way too underrated, whole label is killer
Dope!!!
My God ! This is an opiated nod dream distilled to 100 proof. You can almost hear that tortured horn player fighting the nod.
This, Two Words, Kind of Like Life, & The Pull of Warmth are probably my favorite L'Orange instrumentals. Not necessarily the best, but I can listen to this shit all day.
Smoke Rings* not Two Rings
Saw this on adult swim just last night at 4:15 am right after big grams
Same
The melting faces with their eyes rolling back fucked me up a bit
dope
sick
Aaaamazing !
Smooth!kk!
fucking amazing
great project! stay blessed!
This is sooooo dope. I jump around on RUclips and keep up on all the newest releases and generally check in on pretty much every artist in hip hop and every subset of the genre and this is ahead of the times 100 infinite. Gotta say mellomusicgroup has a super good roster. BTW I'm in Tucson, AZ. and have been close friends with KKs cousin since '95 and he's just about as talented as Keith. I've ciphered with him over the years and he's incredible. I really wish Keith would come to Tucson and force his cuz Fet Thornton to quit wasting his gift. Yo Keith if you see this get at me. I'm also good friends with Lando.
i fucks wit it
Loved this!
Also, 99% of the clips in this vid would make killer shirts, just saying
Topnice! From A to Z!
DOpe! Salute!
why is this not being shared somewhere
sending out sound waves to the alienation !!!
How does this only have 79k views O_O
Kool Keith ain't exactly Kendrick Lamar in terms of popularity. His commercial peak was a long time ago, otherwise he's pretty unsung considering the impact he's had in hip-hop. He's as underground as it gets.
NICE
Radioactive Waveform
2 dope
Thanx
wave form
nice
Seeing the marked out faces and all the sewed mouths you start to understand how silenced they are but not us, they keep themselves in silence and we sit
When you forget to turn off your tv and wake up at 3am on adult swim.
