(Toronto, ON) – Just in time for the
holidays, seasoned Toronto hip hop artist MC
FÜBB (pronounced “emcee foob”) is proud to announce the release of his new
EP: FÜBB
Unlimited. The seven track album is produced exclusively by Toronto beatmaker
Justunlimited, with guest artist features
by Mississauga emcee Es (Toronto
Independent Music Awards 2015 winner for “Best Urban Artist”), KRS-ONE cosigned
emcee Bad Newz, and DJ Xplisit (“Toronto’s Craziest
Beatboxing DJ”). Being his fifth official non-mixtape album released since his
debut EP Foundations back in 2009, FÜBB Unlimited is a testament to the
persistence and tenacity of an artist committed to improving his craft and
developing an extensive body of work.
Here are MC FÜBB’s own words on his new
project:
On the surface, the reason for the title of this album is
straightforward (MC FÜBB + Justunlimited = FÜBB Unlimited). It’s about an
emcee/poet and a producer/beat-maker combining their talents to make something
that neither of them could have created on their own – music created through
the efforts of their synergy. It’s a work of art that can be enjoyed by
listeners today and will remain available for future generations to come, long
after we are no longer here to make new music.
On a deeper level, creating this EP has given me pause to reflect on
my career as a hip hop artist; a lot has changed in my life since I started
taking my rapping seriously over seven years ago. In recent years, I’ve drifted
away from my fixation on the dream of “making it” as an artist in the music
business and toward a life that is fulfilling in a broader sense: the kind of
life where I can be fulfilled and “make it” in a variety of different ways. But
despite a recalibration of the priorities in my life, I continue to heed the
call of the pen and pad, the microphone and the recording booth. Regardless of
what else I’m up to in my life, I feel the need to express myself creatively
and to transform my raw experience into something tangible that can stand the
test of time.
Perhaps it’s a way that we, as artists, try to cheat death – a way
to overcome the existential dread that comes with the realization that our time
on this earth is limited. Against the backdrop of the infinite, we are flashes
in the pan of existence. But in the context of the lives we touch through our
words and actions – be it through the structures we build, walls we tear down,
or works of art we create – we have a chance to leave a legacy behind after we
die. In that sense, the potential difference that our lives can make is truly
unlimited.
My hope is that listeners’ lives are impacted by our
music for the better, if even just for a moment, as they take in this new EP.
