Lt Headtrip and NorthernDraw, the emcee/producer duo, bring an energetic, powerful performance fueled by off kilter yet thoughtful lyricism and stimulating crate digger production. Their live set, which they’ve carried to over 40 US states, is ripe with storytelling, emotion, audience interaction, and energizing beats. The partnership forged in DIY venues, punk rock practice spaces, and local record shops in Portland, OR, now spans the globe, with Headtrip (DC area) and Draw (Munich, Germany) inviting vocalists from Sweden, West Africa, Venezuela, Cairo and beyond into their series of EPs. Headtrip, a longtime mainstay in the NYC art rap scene, has collaborated with underground favorites such as billy woods, Quelle Chris, ELUCID, Blockhead and Rob Sonic. Their new EP, Unbound Flight, is available now everywhere.
“Lt Headtrip, founder of Karma Kids, is a dynamic performer. He raps with an elastic Midwestern twang, his voice sometimes presenting as a low, menacing growl, other times squeezing through percussion like a rubber ball under a hydraulic press. Verses that initially read as abstract puzzles click into place to reveal a simple existential truth: It’s all about the experience. Armed with a crate of records and a dusty sampler, Northern Draw crafts beats that feel like they’ve existed forever, each lived-in loop cycling like a locked groove.” (Dash Lewis, Pitchfork, Stereogum, Bandcamp).
