7X3=21 + DJ Freddy Fresh - Purple Perspective (To The Max Maxi-Single Series #3) (2025)


This is the third release in the “To The Max (Maxi-Single Series)” (of seven in total), where each single is three versions of the same song (different beats), all produced by DJ Freddy Fresh, and all the cover art was done by Orikal Uno. The series is meant to mimic the 12” singles of the 80s/90s that were often heavy on remixes. But it’s also meant to be a showcase of DJ Freddy Fresh’s incredible range and expertise as a producer, covering a wide variety of styles, while also challenging me as an MC as well.

Purple has always been my favorite color, and the second verse actually tells the story of how that came to be. The first verse is more of an abstract approach that I wrote after going down a rabbit hole reading about the history of the color purple, and then just incorporating those ideas and references into a verse.

For all 21 beats in this Maxi-Single series, Freddy Fresh let me pick anything I wanted from his extensive catalog over the years (all on Bandcamp), so all of these beats are previously released, and below is info on the OG versions, so YOU can dive deeper into his catalog if you aren’t familiar…

-Mauve MIX #1: “Manhattan Bonus” from RapNScratch
-The Amethyst Theory MIX #2: “The Smiths” from The Smiths
-Vocally Violet MIX #3: “Oyster” from Oyster Breaks

All Versions Produced by DJ Freddy Fresh
Written & Performed by 7X3=21

Father Focus Confucius x Hi-Q - The Ballad of the Broken Toys (2025)


1 Emcee, 1 Producer, No Features.

"FFC x Hi-Q present “The Ballad of Broken Toys” is easily the most concise and consistent album I’ve ever created…

I was sitting in the car listening to some older Caribbean struggle music records one day and came across something I thought was the perfect sample… but since my beat lab is temporarily down I decided to hit Q up and ask him to flip the record for me cuz he never misses, ever… he sent back something so beautiful I wrote and recorded the track that night. Soon as I was done I realized I had a bunch of these old island records in the cut that would create a really unique, personal and soulful vibe for a Hip Hop album so I asked Q if he would flip them ALL for me lmaooo… I asked him this knowing he was already in the middle of a million projects at the time which probably makes me a terrible friend but he obliged… I chose 8 records for him to flip and he sent me back 8 of the best beats I’ve ever rocked on and 10 days later we had an entire album recorded and mixed 🤯🤯🤯 1 producer, 1 MC, no features 💪🏼 added an intro today that’s absolutely brilliant… talked to one of my guys about doing the video for our lead single “Swinging”… set the digital release for January 1st and then we’re doing a full physical run through Omega Level Records shortly after!!!

Every song is amazing… by far some of my best writing… Qs beats are out of this universe and sound nothing like any other project out right now… the way these songs go in and out of each other and never lose track of what the album about is something I’ve never achieved before… the mix sounds so full and warm… 

“Swinging” is the strongest lead single I’ve ever dropped and 1 of these other songs will go down as one of the top 5 most important songs I’ve ever made in my opinion

Thank you in advance to anybody that cares 🤙🏼" - Father Focus Confucius

40-40 (Last Measure & L.E.O.) - Darkside of Humanity 2: Side A (2024)


Album Number 9 and a full circle moment for the 40-40 crew.

With the exception of our debut project, every album after has been handled by a single producer.

With his project, we decided to go back to basics and formulate a sequel to our first album, assembling a slew of producers that have worked with us over the years.

This album is also truly special because we are dropping it on the death anniversary of our Killa Monsoon brother, Boogie Brown!

We did this to honor his memory and to let the world know we rep our Brothers for eternity!

At the beginning of the year, we dropped the Maximum Carnage album, entirely produced by our brother Carnage, on the anniversary of his death in March.

So this 2024 year has been a full circle moment on many fronts.

We hope you continue to enjoy the art we produce and support us the same.

All songs written by 40-40 (Last Measure & L.E.O.)
All songs produced by their respective producers (credits in the tracklist)
All cuts and scratches by their respective DJs (credits in the tracklist)
All songs recorded at the Fallout Shelter aka L's living room

Warcloud & Wakizashi Jabberwockyz - Pinky Violence (2024)


Underground hip-hop legend Warcloud, formerly known as The Holocaust, is set to release a boundary-pushing album, Pinky Violence, in collaboration with the genre- blending duo Wakizashi Jabberwockyz. Infused with sukeban, a rebellious, female-led subculture from Japan, Pinky Violence promises an explosive mix of gritty hip-hop, Japanese exploitation film influences, and a taste of cosmic horror.

Warcloud, renowned for his 2006 self-titled LP produced by Blue Sky Black Death, takes his rugged storytelling to new heights alongside Wakizashi Jabberwockyz. Formed nearly a decade ago, Wakizashi Jabberwockyz consists of Okami Ghosthack (aka OMEGAH RED) and 7Rinth (aka Zen Studentz), who initially worked on an unreleased debut, Nekojiru'z Apartment. Thanks to veteran A&R M-Eighty, the duo connected with Warcloud, setting the stage for the creation of Pinky Violence.

Named after a Japanese film genre celebrated for its strong female anti-heroes, Pinky Violence brings cultural homage and intense energy. "Bitches and guns go together like Oreos and milk," says Okami Ghosthack, summarizing the album's unapologetic approach.

The album’s singles include “Pomeranian,” produced by Godfingaz and inspired by Noboru Iguchi’s Ghost Squad (2018); “Wan Shi Tong” by Lord Beatjitzu, with a cosmic horror-inspired hook by Ghosthack’s creative writing cousin; and the title track, produced by Spearman, featuring Killah Priest and Tracksuit Draculaz.
