{"product_id":"the-koreatown-oddity-little-dominiques-nosebleed","title":"The Koreatown Oddity - Little Dominiques Nosebleed","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor a decade, Los Angeles rapper and producer \u003c\/span\u003ethe Koreatown Oddity\u003cspan\u003e has drifted around the city’s indie-rap scene with a leisurely detachment. Distributing cassette beat tapes by hand, making dusty, stoned records with vaunted producers like \u003c\/span\u003eRas G\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003eJeremiah Jae\u003cspan\u003e, and occasionally sporting a wolf mask, he treats rap more like a pastime than a calling. His name, a reference to the neighborhood where he was raised, has always underscored his origins, and his music has tended to be diaristic, capturing his observations, wisecracks, and hijinks in real time. On \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eLittle Dominiques Nosebleed,\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e his fourth solo LP, he shifts from scattered journal entries to focused autobiography, telling the story of his family and his neighborhood with intimacy and warmth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Koreatown Oddity is Dominique Purdy. This album tells the origin story of his “supernatural powers and spiritual awakening,” the results of two car accidents that occurred in his childhood while growing up in Los Angeles’ Koreatown district. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Experiencing these traumatic moments so early in my childhood allowed me to have a unique outlook on life … I have had deep spiritual connection and awareness since the accidents and feel like its reflected in all of my work \u0026amp; in my life as human being.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe single “Kimchi” sets up the scene for this true-to-life story about growing up black in Koreatown and how the neighborhood has changed. “I seen this whole area evolve from a black perspective. I want the history of Black\/Hispanic People who grew up in Koreatown to be told,” he says. “If you looked at this section of LA through my eyes you will see that it ain’t all kimchi, Korean BBQ, and karaoke.” \u003cspan\u003eLittle Dominiques Nosebleed showcases soulful loops, jazzy licks, comedy, obscure samples and odd scenarios to communicate the enlightenment born from heavy truths, each step of the journey told through music. (In short, raw hip-hop shit.) The album is produced entirely by the Koreatown Oddity and features the people of his family and community: Sudan Archives, Anny Wise, Baby Rose, C.S Armstrong, Fatlip and many more. — (via Stones Throw)\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"main_2FbVC\"\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"release-notes\" class=\"section_9nUx6 open_BZ6Zt\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content_1TFzi\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"notes_1LXvZ\"\u003e2022 Repress on Black Vinyl, with gold center Labels instead of the red labels on the original release.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"notes_1LXvZ\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"700\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/4pBU8P2uXB3cfylCS74pj6?utm_source=generator\u0026amp;theme=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Stones Throw Records \u003cbr\u003eFormat: 2x Vinyl, LP, Album, Repress, Gold Labels\u003cbr\u003eCountry: US\u003cbr\u003eReleased: Sep 20, 2022 \/ Original Release: Jun 19, 2020\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Hip-hop\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Hip-hop\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Stones Throw Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43716094132382,"sku":"659457243418","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/a1484090135_10.jpg?v=1714494454","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/the-koreatown-oddity-little-dominiques-nosebleed","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
