Lt Headtrip and NorthernDraw - Unbound Flight
Out March 20th on we are the karma kids
Lt Headtrip and NorthernDraw return with their EP, Unbound Flight, a DIY art-rap travel log fueled by crate-digger boom bap beats. The indie hip-hop road warriors invite their listeners to immerse in different cultures, revealing the connective threads of art and expression worldwide. Headtrip flexes an adept array of lyrical styles accompanied by the mighty Ayatollah, art rap mainstay Quelle Chris, and multilingual vocalists. NorthernDraw’s esoteric samples, pulled from thrift store finds throughout the world, ride atop his signature bouncing drums with assistance from bassist and fellow PDX production maestro MLTZR. Loosen your safety belts, lean your seats way back, and enjoy the ride on Unbound Flight. Available everywhere March 20th via we are the karma kids.
Fused Arrow Records brings together the politicized art-rap of Lt Headtrip with label founder steel tipped dove’s stripped-down psychedelic production.” The Best Hip Hop on Bandcamp Sept 2025
“The gristle, outpoured thoughts, observations, protestations and glue between the oppressive urban structures of our dysfunctional, unworkable society both poetically and rhythmically twist and flow over a counterculture haunted psychedelic-prog, Krautrock and jazz-soul production on this debut project collaboration.” - Monolith Cocktail
Headtrip’s rapping ability is incredibly refined at this point in his career, and Bloodmoney is an incredible talent on full display here.
If you’re into alternative Hip Hop—anything that doesn’t sound basic and predictable—you do not want to miss this record.
