L'Orange Mr Lif Antique Gold

North Carolina producer L'Orange and Def-Jux legend Mr. Lif have recently teamed with Mello Music Group and Adult Swim to create a new EP titled The Life & Death Of Scenery​. Ahead of its release tomorrow, L'Orange and Mr. Lif share a brand new single taken from the EP titled "Antique Gold," featuring additional vocals from Florida rapper Chester Watson.

Over a steady rhythm that feels fitting for the soundtrack of a cool Marvel film, Mr. Lif and Chester Watson rap about the hold that gold seems to have on society as a whole. L'Orange explained that he'd been wanting to work with both of these rappers for sometime, and now he's got them both on one track.

"Wearing gold and other forms of jewelry is commonly used in our society as a way of displaying one's financial status," Mr. Lif explains. "Meanwhile, money from every purchase we make flows upstream to those at the top of the food chain who control the true wealth. 'Antique Gold' is a way of saying we've fallen for the oldest trick in the book; thinking we've accomplished something truly significant when really we've bought ourselves trinkets to boost our ego as we run around the exact same maze. My character in the song has his antique gold tucked under his shirt and out of sight because he's embarrassed to be so deeply involved in the rat race."
