The Swapmeet Ensemble - Modern Warfare
Artist: The Swapmeet Ensemble
Producer: Poach Stevens & Poorman Dre
Album: One Man's Trash...
Label: Unsigned
After hearing The Swapmeet Ensemble encourage listeners to GET MAD! about social and economic injustice on their first Booth feature, readers might glance at the title of their latest leak and assume that their newest leak is a polemic against U.S. military adventures. Not quite—Modern Warfare does find the Oakland natives calling for a cease-fire, but the field of battle is not a sandy region overseas but a family home. A Booth-exclusive world premiere, Silence DemALL and Poach Stevens’ latest mixtape single puts a fresh spin on the oft-employed analogy between love and combat; with Stevens and Poorman Dre‘s low-key, lightly bluesy piano chords ringing in the back, the duo paint a vivid lyrical portrait of romantic discord, dropping verses laced with deft martial imagery (along with the occasional controversial statement: ”Our differences is kinda like religion / If we threw ‘em out the window we’d probably go on livin’.”). Topped off with Freshmen emcee Kristo‘s fresh guest rhymes and the gentle chorus vocals of Frisco singer Rae Rosario, this heartfelt cut is one of many fresh selections set to appear on the crew’s Booth-sponsored One Man’s Trash… project, due out October 10.

 A deeply personal message delivered through a rich and fulling listen. Making music is easy compared to putting your heart and soul into it. Nicely crafted collabo.

this takes me back for some reason, it reminds me of some classic 90's west coast jazz infused funk-rap, another dope one from Oakland's own.

I immediately fall in love with any jazz infused hip-hop I hear. That piano is so nice on my ears. Rosario's chorus is the highlight for me.

I feel like if one of the many amazing sould singers of the 70's had made a hip-hop record this is what is would sound like. Rae Rosario killed that chorus! great great track.

Love this song not only for the easy-brezzy-laid back vibe,...but for the real talk. Anyone whose been in a serious relationship can relate. Most songs on the radio now only speak to a player lifestyle, it's refreshing to hear a song about the struggles of sticking with it. Dap.
