"Mad As Hell" (Video): bit.ly/1oqa1Ax

To quote Thomas Henry Huxley, "It is better to be a man to go wrong in freedom than to go right in chains." Taking a monologue from Peter Finch's character in the 1976 film 'Network,' "Mad As Hell" creates a chilling juxtaposition of the samples passionate and triumphant call to action and the atmospheric beat from the Chi Town producer. What's even scarier to think is that in the almost 40 years that passed since the film came out, not much has changed. But even though things may seem tough in a world of technological isolation, there's a glimmer of hope. Get up and get mad. Take control of your situation and break free from the ignorance that comes with following the rules of society. Check it out and stay tuned to hear more reality-bending music from Rediculus in the near future, as he gets set to release his debut producer compilation, 'Dee-Fi.' A portion of the proceeds generated from the sale of this song will be used to continue to help fund Elevarte (formerly Pros Arts Studio), who are dedicated to helping at risk youth in Chicago through the arts.

'In Response: Dee-Fi' consists of 15 speaker breakers all produced by Rediculus, showcasing his musical growth that he's achieved as a result of taking a one year hiatus from his previous non-stop production schedule. When asked what fueled his creative process for the album, Rediculus states: "After my Mama passed in 2013, I really sat down and refocused what it was that I was pursuing musically and what I wanted to leave for others to judge me by after I was gone. I had always embraced the 90's aesthetic of Boom bap, but really wanted to put my own presentation of that forward, instead of trying to relive years past with my sound, so I started layering more original instrumentation over my samples, started writing more lyrics and getting way deeper into the creative process this time. There was a lot of talk about white people and gay people in Hip-Hop as this project was being created. Where we fit in, where we belong. This is my statement of defiance to dare anyone to challenge my position in this culture, and exactly where the title of this album comes from."

The album itself features three tracks completely written by Rediculus -- "Stay" and "Again," and two RnB ballads; one featuring industry veteran Jay Hollins, and "Repercussions" which features the upcoming emcee, Jus Daze. Rounding out the collaborative effort is Rediculus's long time lyrical partner Rich Malone, new comer Fresco, frequent collaborators J57 and Sene, East Coast spitters in Coast, CoalCash and C-Rayz Walz, Comet, Boston up-and-comer Token, and LA wordsmith Aarophat. Keep an eye out for Rediculus and his forthcoming 'In Response: Dee-Fi' LP, which is set to be accompanied by five videos and seven singles.
