I like Houston rap as much as the next guy. But sometimes a man enjoys Henroc out of a stryofoam cup instead of lean and sprite. Prodigy is home, and he is voting for Ron Paul like some sort of Q-Boro Vince Gallo. While I am not voting for Ron Paul this EP knocks.

MP3: Envelope “I Wanna New Satan”
On Envelope’s, “I Wanna New Satan” one of Columbus’s most beloved rappers proclaims:
“I don’t mean symbolism 666 pentagram.
Most of your evil men aren’t even into that.
They are psychic vampires. They take without giving back.
I want to be the most symbiotic man in rap.”
I think that sums it up.
I could sit here and type out the whole song. Or you could just listen to it.
If you want to read my review of the Envelope record scroll down to the bottom of the Other Paper’ s Local Round-Up Section.
Envelope will release his new EP, that features “I Wanna New Satan”, This Could Go Either Way by playing at 8 Record Stores this Saturday, October 15th.
Tonight(Thursday) Envelope will be on CD 102.5’s Independent Playground here in Columbus which airs 11pm to 1 Am.
I will be lurking in the background.

Columbus’s favorite son Envelope‘s upcoming EP, This Could Go Either Way, took a page from early Wu-Tang during the recording and editing process. The analog Hip Hop record was produced by Jacoti Sommes, and recorded/engineered by Adam Smith at Columbus Discount Recordings so the three of them detail the #rare technology, process, and reasoning used for making an analog rap recording in 2011.
Envelope will perform at the Ohio Film and Music Festival this Saturday in Columbus, October 8th.
This Could Go Either Way will be released October 15th during Envelope & DJ Detox’s tour of Columbus Record Stores.
