81355

About

81355 is a voltronized collaboration between three of Indianapolis music scene’s elder statesmen; <a href="spotify:artist:3wfsbQBlI8mJ1aAytUlxxb" data-name="Sirius Blvck">Sirius Blvck</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4srwRMdiW6BDnEhXabsJe1" data-name="Oreo Jones">Oreo Jones</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:7CMZgxaSBVjYfEKmTq6q62" data-name="Sedcairn">Sedcairn</a>. The result is the stunning and idiosyncratic debut album under the 81355 moniker, This Time I’ll Be of Use. Sirius Blvck is a veteran of the Indianapolis hip-hop scene; a scene where you’re as likely to see stage dives as anything else. His music and live performances are step-siblings to the DIY community that occupies many of the same dingy Indiana basements and clubs. The threads of that fierce punk ethic weave their way throughout the majority of his musical releases, which is itself a vestige of that same ethic. Rapper Oreo Jones makes hip-hop for people with unreasonable expectations of what it can and should be. A gifted lyricist with an ear for rich, textured beats that check off most boxes on the “new school” and “true school” checklists, Jones is both classicist and futurist. Since 2010, Oreo Jones has released over 9 studio albums, participated in artist residencies, and received awards for his work in the hip-hop community. Initially started as a solo project and releasing several albums under the moniker <a href="spotify:artist:6YodnvlYF50sYoastK0E1Q" data-name="Grampall Jookabox">Grampall Jookabox</a>, David “Moose” Adamson has evolved his music into many triumphant purposeful deviating creations. Under his more recent endeavor and moniker Sedcairn, his album OOBYDOOB is considered a Naptown classic.
