Read moreBlack Atlass – Haunted Paradise [Album Stream]
Even California love has a dark side. On his new full-length, Haunted Paradise, Black Atlass explores emotional terrain as twisted as the photonegative palm tree on its cover. After his stark, early singles “Paris” and “Jewels” made waves in the music and fashion worlds (with striking videos to match), Black Atlass delved inward, fleshing out Haunted Paradise’s sound to be bigger, more open and inviting, yet no less experimental. This is a true album—one that spans the Neptunes-worthy R&B strum of “Glow In The Dark” and the triumphant horns of “Island Love” all the way to the synth provocations of “Tonight” and the title track’s slow, steel drum creep. Haunted Paradise is a fresh setting for this Montreal-bred singer, songwriter, and producer, and his call to visit couldn’t be more seductive.

Before dropping his album, Red talks about finding income performing at clubs in New York that often got him in trouble. While New York rap promoted positivity, according to Red, he says Jersey rappers were all about punchlines, which got him kicked out of a Long Island venue. “I went in that b****, rocking and they was like, ‘uh-uh, get this motherf***** out of here. Who he think he is, coming in with that s***? Nah, n**** we ain’t paying y’all.’” He told DJ Vlad, “In other words, they was thinking I was too advanced and s***. We was playin’ them out.” In this interview, the Jersey rapper goes in-depth about the start of his career and talks about being a part of the Revolutionary Posse of Terrorists, or R.P.T. along with Diezzle Don, before Wu-Tang existed. “We was like the first Wu-Tang; before Hit Squad, before Wu-Tang, before all of that.” He said, “We was Revolutionary Posse of Terrorists and we was out of Newark and the crew consisted of eight motherf******.” He said while hanging with Diezzle; he had the opportunity to go to Def Jam and play his music for an executive in his car.
