Torii Wolf feat. Rapsody – Shadows Crawl (Remix) [Audio]

P.R. 0 Comments , ,

“Shadows Crawl” inception has quite an interesting backdrop and it was the last track recorded for Flow Riiot; as it was the only track Preemo did not specifically create for Torii, the track was initially sent to Yuna who ended up picking another demo from Premier (that demo would later resurface as “Places To Go,” which was the lead-single from Yuna’s latest album). Torii was the beneficiary and upon being played the instrumental, she wrote “Shadows Crawl” on the spot and cut the vocals. Premier immediately knew it was going to be the second single from their collaborative project. Real DJ’s do real things and just as he did with Torii’s first single, the aptly-titled “1st,” by getting Dilated Peoples to hop on the remix, he and Torii have tapped another fast-rising star in Jamla/Roc Nation’s Rapsody for a remix of “Shadows Crawl.” “I felt Rapsody fit the picture perfectly” DJ Premier relayed to Pigeons & Planes. “Of course to make it complete, I threw in some scratches in the intro for the underground DJ’s so we always have that representation.” In her comments to Pigeons & Planes, Torii was very eager to hear where Rapsody would take the remix “I was very excited to work with Rapsody and to hear what she could do with this and I couldn’t be happier with how it came out. Rapsody adds an entirely new vibe to the record and fully emulated the concept of the song in her own unique way and

Torii Wolf – Body [Audio]

P.R. 0 Comments ,

Torii Wolf is back with her new single, “Body”. Similar to her previous singles, “1st” and “Shadows Crawl,” Torii continues to display an innate ability to channel mood over araab’s canvas with “Body.” “There is nothing like the hot summer rain in New York. It has always felt so sexy to me” Torii relayed to Complex. “That heat, the heat caused by friction and deep connection. I wrote this song about how much I need to torrentially fall with the rain.” With a hip-hop king who has a habit of contributing and producing historic projects behind the boards, Torii Wolf and DJ Premier’s forthcoming collaborative union bum-rushes the walls of genre, age, and expectations to let the world know there’s a Flow Riiot going on. Listen below.

Torii Wolf feat. Dilated Peoples – 1st (Remix) [Audio]

P.R. 0 Comments , ,

The last month has been filled with “1st’s” for Torii Wolf; premiering her debut solo track, 1st,” with Pitchfork and the corresponding video with Vevo, announcing her debut solo album, Flow Riiot, (that just happens to be produced by DJ Premier) and now her “1st” remix featuring Dilated Peoples; which was premiered today by Mass Appeal. The original version of “1st” found Premier digging into his past catalog and reshuffling the deck on a Rakka Iriscience vocal sample from his “Good As Gone” production which appeared on Dilated Peoples Directors Of Photography album to create another spellbinding scratch-chorus “I’ve seen the last come first, I’ve seen the first last.” With the release of the remix today, “1st” has officially come full circle as Torii and Preemo recruit Evidence and Rakka to officially join them; and with their respective verses and Premier implementing extra punch to the drums and additional piano harmonies—the “1st” (Remix) sounds like an entirely different song. “I changed the arrangement of Torii’s verses and removed the second verse completely” Premier relayed to Mass Appeal. “I added some extra piano harmonies and it fit on the first attempt. I played all of the sounds; including the piano so there are no samples on the original nor the remix. Ev and Rakaa sent me 24 bars in total and I split them up into a sixteen and an eight bar set up. They sounded so good from the original it was a no brainer to get them on the

Torii Wolf – 1st [Audio]

P.R. 0 Comments ,

Enter Torii Wolf, a singer-songwriter and musician from Wantagh, New York who traded coasts–bouncing around West Coast cities and enhanced herself artistically; shunning categories, confinement, and convention. Torii also just happens to be the first female artist to have her entire project (the forthcoming album entitled Flow Riiot) produced by Preemo. “Torii has such a weird, wicked style,” Premier offers. “It’s just very left field—reminiscent of a Bjork or something like that. She is so unique and versatile; she writes, sings and is an accomplished guitarist and drummer. But image-wise, there is no comparison. Subject-wise, Torii is in a whole different place.”
