Certain Sound Records and Montener the Menace release the first single from his highly anticipated second album Anyone Home? Montener has recruited Wounded Buffalo Beats on production duties who's looped a fantastically pitched vocal-sample over some hard, head nodding drums to set the scene for the wonderfully enlisted, all-star line-up to go berserk over. The world-renowned guests include -- Wordsworth, Rah Digga, Masta Ace & Fatlip as High Noon sees the gang of notorious outlaws trading smoking hot verses, swaggering into your local saloon, oozing with finesse as six-shooters still smolder in their holsters and their Stetsons pulled low. This is one of the best cross-Atlantic collaborations hip-hop has seen to date and is a fantastic choice for the initial lead single from the upcoming album. "High Noon" is accompanied by a fantastic Western influenced, animated video by the super-talented animator, Taylor Bowen. "The Struggle" is the second single taken from Anyone Home? . Once again Montener enlists a heavy ensemble of guests featuring Stones Throw alumni, Guilty Simpson, UKHH veteran, Micall Parknsun & Artifacts emcee, El Da Sensei. "The Struggle" sees the four emcees perform their vocal acrobatics in unrivalled style as their rhymes reverberate over a smooth, neck-snapping slab of vintage boom bap -- eerily reminiscent of the rich, classic sound of the mid-90s. JL Beats has created a timeless beat here with DJ JabbaThaKut providing the world- class cuts to round the track off in superb style.
